Drinks Americas Announces Brewery Selection for Kid Rock Beer

Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd (OTC BB: DKAM), a leading owner, developer and marketer of premium beverages, confirmed today that the new beer it is launching in partnership with Kid Rock will be produced at the Michigan Brewing Company in Webberville, Michigan.

In a September 2008 press release, the Company announced that Drinks Americas and Kid Rock would work together to develop and bring to market a product targeted to beer drinkers who appreciate value with an easy-to-drink, traditional, good-tasting American manufactured beer.

J. Patrick Kenny, the Company’s CEO, stated, "We interviewed a number of breweries and tasted a number of products, and like all of our beverages, we think we will be introducing a product that tastes great, is very drinkable and one that millions of Kid Rock fans in America will try and adopt. Based on distributor interest, Drinks Americas and Kid Rock’s American Bad Ass Beer Company are together going to sell a lot of beer."

Drinks Americas and Kid Rock have established "The American Bad Ass Beer Company". Final crafted products will be presented to Kid Rock for tasting and selection in the coming week. Drinks Americas plans to introduce the product in the spring and is accepting advance orders now. Interested distributors should call Charles Davidson at 203-762-7000.

According to a February 17th Associated Press article, "The Michigan Brewing Co. plans to invest $7 million in the new product line,” and "will add jobs”. On Tuesday, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved a nearly $723,000 tax credit over seven years for the brewer. The village of Webberville also is considering a tax abatement for Michigan Brewing.
