Total Beverage Solution Announces Acquisition of Import Rights to Weihenstephan – World’s Oldest Brewery

January 2, 2006

Total Beverage Solution announced today it has closed on acquiring the import rights to Weihenstephan, a Bavarian beer brand from Bavaria House, a North Carolina corporation. In conjunction with the acquisition, Total Beverage Solution signed a ten-year supply agreement with Brayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan, the producers of the Weihenstephan product line.

“This acquisition gives us much-needed additional volume and revenue to enable us to start building a dedicated field sales organization to help promote Weihenstephan, along with our existing portfolio of brands”, commented TBS President Dave Pardus. “Our beer portfolio will exceed 300,000 case equivalents in 2006, which will be our second full year of operating in the beer category.”

TBS has a growing portfolio of premium products in the beer, wine, and spirit categories of the beverage alcohol industry. It imports and markets brands to include: Old Speckled Hen, Shipyard Brewing, Signatory Vintage Whisky Company, Edradour Distillery, Kemblefield Estate Winery, and Magnotta Ice Wines.

Total Beverage Solution was founded in 2002, and its mission is to be a preferred beverage alcohol supplier for the US market. The company seeks brands that have market presence, but are not large enough to be targets of the big multinationals. TBS seeks to place those brands strategically with distributors market by market in the challenging beverage alcohol distribution system. Pro forma revenues for 2006 are anticipated to exceed $7,000,000.
