LOS ANGELES, March 26, 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 Company's Mexican Day
of Dead Craft Beer is being offered at American Chef and Television
Personality Ralph Pagano's sizzling South
Florida restaurants - Alba Seaside Italian in Sunny Isles Beach and the new Naked Taco in
Miami Beach.
Pagano has appeared on the first season of Hell's Kitchen,
hosted the series Pressure Cook on MOJO HD, even challenged
seasoned Chef Bobby Flay on the
American version of Iron Chef and now runs his own company YES
Hospitality. As Owner and Chef at Alba Seaside Italian nestled
inside the luxury, boutique Sole Resort in Sunny Isles Beach since 2012, he has been
strong supporter of the Company's Mexican Day of the Dead Craft
Beer, offering them up to hotel guests and restaurant patrons
alike.
His newest creation, Mexican Cocina Naked Taco in South Beach's
luxurious Dream Hotel was born out of his love for Mexico. In an interview on the opening of
Naked Taco, Pagano spoke about his passion for the country, and
opening a place where he can create tricked out versions of its
street food while keeping the spot fun and affordable. Naked Taco
opened its doors February 21, 2014
during South Beach Wine & Food Fest offering 125 different
tequilas, and Mexican food that he lovingly described as "melty,
gooey, cheesy, and crunchy."
Pagano commented, "As an avid enthusiast of authentic Mexican
food, drink and culture, I wanted to create an 'experience' with
Naked Taco that brought customers to Mexico. I personally like Day of the Dead
Craft Beer so including it in that experience was an easy choice,
and a smart one. Day of the Dead is relatively unknown craft beer
and the intrigue of that coupled with its Mexican heritage makes it
one of our more popular beer items on the menu."
Joseph Belli, VP of Sales, Day of
the Dead Craft Beer, commented, "To have Day of the Dead varietals
on the menu of master Chef Ralph
Pagano's restaurants is extremely exciting for the
brand. Out of the 13 beers on Naked Taco's menu, Day of the
Dead I.P.A. and Day of the Dead Hefeweizen are the only beers that
are brewed in Mexico by an
independent family-owned Mexican brewery and are truly authentic
Mexican varieties."
Timothy Owens, CEO of Drinks
Americas, added, "We are pleased to see Ralph's support and
appreciation for the the authenticity, quality, taste and detail
that goes into brewing and packaging our unique Mexican beer, and
are eager to see how it does among their hotel guests and SoBe's
eclectic international crowd."
