drank Extreme Relaxation to Expand Distribution to Canada

HOUSTON, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IBGH), makers of drank(TM) Extreme Relaxation(TM) beverage, today announced that it will bring the company’s top-selling calming beverage, drank(TM), to Canada. The wildly-popular beverage will roll out to stores in Canada within the first few weeks of January and will be on shelves in time for the Winter Olympics.



Having been featured on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Good Morning America, Fox News with Shepard Smith, Time Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, drank(TM) has relaxed the United States with its calming blend of melatonin, rose hips and valerian root. With the calming beverage category skyrocketing in popularity, drank(TM) has successfully carved its niche as the industry leader and customer favorite.



“Since its launch in early 2008, drank(TM) has gained mass-market appeal across the United States and has even been called a pop-culture phenomenon,” said Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group and creator of drank(TM). “In response to the popularity of drank(TM), we have been inundated with calls and emails from consumers and retailers across Canada looking for the product, now we will be able to attack these requests and fulfill the huge Canadian consumer demand for our Extreme Relaxation(TM) beverage.”



With a slogan of “slow your roll(TM),” drank(TM) is the antithesis of the herd of energy drinks crowding the functional beverage sector. Since launching, drank(TM) has quickly become the go-to beverage for people looking to relax their mind and body.



“The world is looking for a way to de-stress, and we’re happy to provide a non-alcoholic solution to take the edge off. Whether you’re getting home from work, picking up the kids, or finishing an arduous workout, drank(TM) has something to offer everybody,” added Bianchi. “We are thrilled that drank(TM) will soon be available for consumers across Canada to enjoy and we are especially pleased to be able to launch at a time when the world will gather there for the 2010 Winter Olympics so that the international community can also get a taste for Extreme Relaxation(TM).”
