5.11 DAYS w/ Brave Bean

98 Octane Shows Up in Pittsburgh for 5.11 DAYS


On May 9, 2026, 98 Octane showed up in Pittsburgh for 5.11 DAYS at 5.11 Tactical Pittsburgh in collaboration with Brave Bean Coffee Company.

Military. Veterans. First responders. Families. Community members.

All gathered around something simple but powerful:

Coffee. Conversation. Connection. Mission.

This event was about more than showing up at a store. It was about meeting people where they are, standing shoulder to shoulder with the military, veteran, and first responder community, and continuing the 98 Octane mission of helping heroes live longer, stronger, healthier lives.

Brave Bean Coffee Company brought the veteran-owned coffee. 5.11 Tactical Pittsburgh opened the doors. 98 Octane came ready to connect, educate, listen, and plant seeds for better health, stronger habits, and long-term community impact.

This is what outreach looks like.

Not behind a desk.
Not waiting for people to come to us.
Not making health complicated.

Just real conversations with real people in real communities.

98 Octane exists to support the men and women who serve, protect, and lead. That means creating opportunities to talk about physical health, mental resilience, nutrition, purpose, and the small daily decisions that can change the trajectory of someone’s life.

Huge thank you to Brave Bean Coffee Company for the collaboration and to 5.11 Tactical Pittsburgh for hosting us during 5.11 DAYS.

Pittsburgh showed up.
The community showed up.
And 98 Octane will keep showing up.

One conversation at a time.
One connection at a time.
One hero at a time.
