LOS ANGELES, March 24, 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
34 states, today is proud to announce that the Glass Packaging
Institute (GPI) has shown solid support of the Company's
distinctively designed authentically Mexican Day of the Dead Craft
Beer bottles. Not only has GPI featured its unique bottles in its
newsletter "In the Aisles: New Products in Glass" but it has
also encouraged the Company to submit an entry for its 2014 Clear
Choice Awards honoring consumer product goods (CPG) manufacturers
who expand the frontiers of glass packaging design.
Founded in 1919 as the Glass Container Association of America,
GPI is the trade association representing the North American glass
container industry. On behalf of glass container manufacturers, GPI
promotes glass as the optimal packaging choice, advances
environmental and recycling policies, advocates industry standards,
and educates packaging professionals. GPI's bimonthly newsletter
"In the Aisles: New Products in Glass"
takes a regular look into the latest innovations and new products
packaged in glass containers, showcasing the work of glass
manufacturers, suppliers, and brand owners. In its recent issue, it
highlighted the Company's move to bring the entire state of
Georgia the first and only Mexican
Craft Beer, Day of the Dead, through its distribution agreement
with Prime Wine & Spirits of Georgia.
The support of the Company's Day of the Dead Craft Beer shown by
GPI has bled into its Clear Choice Awards program where entries are
vast and awards are slim - presented only to products that triumph
in glass and CPG manufacturers who expand the frontiers of glass
packaging design by using glass containers in innovative ways. Day
of the Dead Craft Beer has been encouraged to participate in this
awards program, the only awards program that recognizes the
contribution glass packaging makes to the image and success of
everyday products - from sparkling water to salsa, baby food to
bottled fruit juices, beer to flavored rums, pasta sauce to
pickles. Entries are judged on innovation, package design
(including container label and closure), and consumer appeal.
Timothy Owens, Drinks Americas
CEO, commented, "We would like to thank GPI for their strong
support of our Mexican Day of the Dead Craft Beer bottles. We
receive a lot of praise from customers, distributors, beer
enthusiasts and bloggers alike on the authenticity and refreshing
taste of our Mexican beer. It's a nice change of pace to be
acknowledged for the extreme precision, thought and care that go
into its design and glass bottling process. It gives us great pride
to have our uniquely packaged authentic Mexican beer included in
their newsletter and to be encouraged by their team to submit our
beer for their Clear Choice Awards consideration. Hopefully, this
year will be the year we win!"
