2008 After Launching drank(TM), the World's First Extreme Relaxation Beverage






HOUSTON, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Innovative Beverage Group
Holdings, Inc. announced today financial results for twelve months ending
December 31, 2008.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, gross revenue was $2,212,938 an
increase of 198.5% compared to $741,255 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2007.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $171,193 or
$0.003 per share, compared  to a loss of ($320,206) or (0.005) per share for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

The Company attributes this increase in revenue to the launch of its
proprietary product drank(TM) dubbed the World's First Extreme Relaxation
Beverage. drank(TM), a lightly carbonated grape flavored beverage is a unique
addition to the New Age beverage category designed to have an extreme calming
effect to relax the mind, body and soul.  drank(TM) combines the natural
calming effects of melatonin, valerian root and rose hips, and has quickly
captured the attention of the public as the new go-to beverage for people
looking to relax without resorting to medication, sleep aids or alcohol. The
product is sold in prominent purple 16 ounce cans bearing the popular slogan
"Slow Your Roll."

Innovative Beverage accomplished this significant increase in sales in 2008
utilizing only a handful of independent beverage distributors. In early 2009
the Company began signing agreements with national distributors as demand for
their unique product increases. To date in 2009 seven major beverage
distributors  MBC United, Clayton Distribution Co., Select Drink, Wil Fischer
Distributing, Arkansas Distributing, Mississippi Distributing, and Mitchell
Distributing signed on to distribute drank(TM) in 11 new territories. These
territories include areas in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Missouri. 

"Although we are thrilled with the dramatic increase in sales, we have yet to
attain even a fraction of what management believes is the potential market
share for our product. As we bring on new major distribution partners we feel
will be able to meet the increased demand for drank on a national level," said
Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group.
