The wrestling legend died last month of a heart attack.
Chad Bronstein co-founded the beer company with Hogan and appreciated the gesture from Hyak and Stenhouse.
"Hulk built Hulkamania and Real American Beer with strength, pride and resilience -- for the fans, for their communities, for our country," Bronstein said.
"Real American Beer is here to carry on Hulk's legacy. We're grateful to Hyak for helping us honor him and carry his commitment to his fans forward."
Stenhouse and Real American Beer began their partnership back in June when the No. 47 sported the logo on its decal at Michigan.

Trump's Approval Rating Trends Up With Women, New Poll Shows
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump's approval rating with women has trended back upward in a new poll released by The Economist and YouGov on Tuesday. Why It Matters Trump has routinely touted positive approval ratings and polling. Declines in these numbers could hinder his political clout in an already highly polarized climate as the 2026 midterms approach. When Trump returned to the White House in January, he coasted in with high approval figures. But after months marked by economic uncertainty and criticism that his administration has faced over policies like his handling of immigration and the "big beautiful bill," Trump has seen a decline. The volatile nature of approval polls can help paint a picture of the landscape heading into the 2026 midterm elections, where Democrats hope to regain control of the House and Senate. Approval ratings among gender blocs could ultimately shape party strategy and next year's outcomes. Women historically have influenced competitive national and congressional races, and shifts in their aggregate approval of presidents have affected party prospects. What To Know In the poll released on Tuesday, Trump's approval rating among the key voting bloc is 39 percent. In a previous survey by the pollster the week before, it was 35 percent. Tuesday's poll was taken from August 9 to August 11 among 1,635 U.S. adult citizens, with a 3.5 percent margin of error. In earlier weeks, the president's approval with women hovered around 37 percent and dipped to 34 percent in a poll taken from July 4 to July 7. The last time Trump's approval rating with women was 39 percent or higher was in a poll taken from May 23 to May 26, when it hit 40 percent. Previously during the summer months, the president was getting lower approval ratings with women. Trump's overall approval rating in Tuesday's poll is 42 percent versus a 54 percent disapproval mark.

(Photo by) President Donald Trump fields questions from reporters after speaking on economic data in the Oval Office on August 7 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by) What People Are Saying Columbia University professor Robert Y. Shapiro, to Newsweek via email Tuesday: "I would not make any big deal of this. With so many polls being done, results that look like outliers or noteworthy changes need to be treated as possible due to normal sampling error, where you can get what looks like an outlier one out of twenty times. If that lower number persists, that is a different story, and it should be taken more seriously and the reason for it may by then become more apparent." Political analyst Craig Agranoff previously told Newsweek via text message in July: "President Trump's approval rating dropping to 34% among women, as recent polls indicate, is a significant concern for his administration, given women's substantial influence as a voting bloc. "This low figure likely reflects dissatisfaction with his rhetoric and policies on issues like reproductive rights & economic equity, which resonate deeply with many women. It's not quite a crisis, but it's a warning sign, especially in a polarized electorate. To make an immediate pivot, Trump could soften his messaging, perhaps by highlighting policies that directly address women's economic or healthcare concerns, like childcare support or workforce protections. "His track record suggests he's more likely to double down on appealing to his base rather than making a strategic outreach to women voters at the moment." What Happens Next Pollsters will continue tracking approval ratings into the 2026 midterm cycle. Minor swings in approval marks among key demographics, including women and independents, could influence campaign messaging and resource allocation for both parties.

Justin Rose Joins Exclusive Eight-Man PGA Tour Money Club
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship has had a significant impact on Justin Rose's career. With this title, he returned to the PGA Tour winner's circle for the first time in more than two years, returned to the top 10 of the world rankings after more than five years, and guaranteed his tour card for the next two seasons. However, his inclusion on an exclusive PGA Tour list stands out. Rose is only the eighth player in tour history to bank more than $70 million in career earnings. His title in Memphis raised his total to $73.2 million, ranking him sixth on the all-time list. This ranking is led by the legendary Tiger Woods, with $121 million in career earnings. Rory McIlroy is the only other player to have surpassed the $100 million mark ($107.1 million). Next in order are Phil Mickelson ($96.7 million), Scottie Scheffler ($92.2 million), Dustin Johnson ($75.7 million), Rose, Jim Furyk ($71.5 million), and Vijay Singh ($71.3 million). Justin Rose of England celebrates a birdie on the 18th green during Day Three of The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 19, 2025 in Portrush, Northern Ireland.

Getty Images/Andrew Redington Rose has surpassed not only Furyk and Singh, but also several other illustrious names, both legendary players and younger stars. These include Adam Scott ($69.7 million), Justin Thomas ($69.3 million), and Jordan Spieth ($65.9 million). Thomas could become the ninth member of the $70 million club this week with a strong finish at the BMW Championship. Scott, who missed the playoffs, will have to wait a bit longer, although he should complete this feat in a few starts, likely during the FedEx Cup Fall. The 2025 season is already Rose's best in terms of earnings, with $8.2 million, thanks not only to his victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but also to his second-place finish at the Masters and his three other top-10 finishes, two of them at signature events. This is why I practice. This is why I compete. For moments like this! 🏆 — Justin ROSE (@JustinRose99) August 11, 2025 Now he'll have two more unbeatable opportunities to continue adding to this total, as he will compete in the BMW Championship, which has a $20 million purse to be distributed among a 50-player field, and in the TOUR Championship, in which only 30 players will compete for a $40 million purse. His previous best season, from a financial standpoint, was 2017-2018, in which he won two tournaments, finished second three times, and collected $8.1 million. He also won the FedEx Cup title that year. Rose had been out of the winner's circle since the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, while he last ranked in the top 10 in the world rankings at the 2020 Genesis Invitational (he started there as world No. 10).
