A 'woke-free' beer created to rival Bud Light, made half a million dollars in 12 hours after it released a special edition can featuring former president Donald Trump's mugshot.
Ultra Right Beer CEO Seth Weathers told FOX Business that sales after the special edition launch were equivalent to over five tractor loads of cans.
'We knew people would go wild over these collector cans, but we had no idea the response would be this crazy,' said the businessman.
He described the beer cans dubbed 'Conservative Dad's Revenge' as the most sought-after collector beer can in American history.
'Sales have poured in from the moment we launched. With over $1 million in beer and merchandise sales, we’ve raised over $50,000 for the legal defense of the Georgia Trump electors and the Georgia Republican Party,' said Weathers.
The beer company website pledges to donate 10 percent of the sales to the GOP defense fund in Georgia.
'Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer puts our money where our mouth is – we’re doing our part to fight back against the unjust persecution of American patriots,' said Weathers.
Featuring Trump's historic mugshot in monochrome on a black background emblazoned with the words '100% American beer,' the cans cost $25 for a six-pack plus shipping.
Weathers went on to predict the sales will likely top $2M by 11:59 p.m. Sunday when the special edition can officially goes off the market.
Trump made history by becoming the first former president to pose for a mugshot after his arrest for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has used the photo to raise money for his campaign.
