LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Drinks Americas
(OTC: DKAM; "Drinks Americas" or the "Company"), the exclusive
United States broker for leading
premium authentic Mexican beers currently present in over 32
states, today is proud to announce that in October 2013 it signed with Republic National
Distributing Company (RNDC) for the distribution of their authentic
premium Mexican Day of the Dead Craft Beer throughout Colorado, a state known for craft brewery.
Known as the nation's second largest beverage alcohol
distributor in the U.S., RNDC is recognized for being built on
solid foundations of deep-rooted longstanding family owned
companies. In 2007 it was formed from the successful
merger of the former Republic Beverage Company and National
Distributing Company, both wildly successful privately owned liquor
wholesalers that boasted complementary qualities. Early
predecessors of company trace roots back to it being founded in
Pensacola, Florida in 1898 by a
single distributor. Currently, employing over 7,000 people,
RNDC has fully owned operations nationwide.
Joseph Belli, VP of Sales for Day
of Dead Craft Beer says, "We're extremely pleased to be in another
of RNDC's growing markets – Colorado. RNDC is carrying all six varieties
of Day of the Dead Craft Beer across the state. According to the
company, they sold out of their first order during the Halloween season and are currently selling at a
rate of roughly 250 cases per month, an impressively solid sales
rate. We look forward to upping that number throughout the
year."
Scott Klug of RNDC commented on
sales of Drinks Americas' premium authentic Mexican craft beer,
stating, "Day of the Dead is a fun beer to sell. It is
interesting to watch people's reactions when they get the liquid in
their mouth. Most people don't associate good beer with
Mexico and they are pleasantly
surprised at the quality of these beers."
"We are honored to be working with such a historic distributor
with loyal customer base, and are thrilled to hear of their warm
reception to our brands. The addition of Republic National
Distributing Company brings our brand to a trend-setting market
worth our continued expansion," added Timothy Owens, CEO of Drinks Americas.
