Wildly Popular Extreme Relaxation(TM) Beverage drank(TM) Gains Additional
Mississippi Distributor To Accommodate Growing Demand
Bluff City Distributors Signs Agreement to Distribute drank(TM) Relaxation
Beverage Through 13 Counties





HOUSTON and NATCHEZ, Miss., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Innovative
Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IBGH) today announced that the
company has entered into an agreement with Bluff City Distributors of Natchez,
MS to bring the company's signature relaxation beverage, drank(TM), to 13
counties in South Central Mississippi. 


With more than 30 years servicing the south central region of Mississippi,
Bluff City Distributors has well-established relationships with scores of key
retail accounts throughout the area. drank(TM) will join Bluff City
Distributors lineup of high-quality, non-alcoholic products including
Everfresh® Juice, Jones(TM) sodas,  Clearly Canadian® and Big Shot® Soda. 


"New and exciting beverages drive sales and increase profits for the retailers
we serve. As distributors, we are always on the lookout for the hottest new
products, especially beverages such as drank(TM) which, with its built-in fan
base of dedicated consumers, attracts customers to stores," said Mike
Thompson, president of Bluff City Distributors. 


"In just more than one year after its launch, drank(TM) has become a
pop-culture phenomenon across the United States," said Peter Bianchi, CEO of
Innovative Beverage Group.  "We are pioneering the calming beverage sector -
an entirely new functional beverage category. Part of our success is due to
the strong relationships with major beverage wholesalers like Bluff City
Distributors who ensure we continue to satisfy the massive national demand for
drank(TM)."


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 in
select markets in early 2008, drank(TM) has quickly become the go-to beverage
for people looking to relax their mind and body with a calming blend of
melatonin, rose hips and valerian root. 


Bluff City Distributors joins an extensive and growing roster of regional
distributors that have added drank(TM) to their New Age beverage lineup.  For

Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. is a Nevada-based corporation
headquartered in Houston, Texas that engages in the distribution and wholesale
of products in the New Age beverage category. The Company recently launched
its first proprietary product drank(TM).  Dubbed the world's first extreme
relaxation beverage, drank(TM) was created to induce a natural calming and
soothing effect when consumed. drank(TM) is a lightly carbonated grape
flavored beverage formulated with natural calming agents including melatonin,
rose hips, and valerian root. drank(TM) is sold in prominent purple, signature
16 ounce cans bearing the slogan "slow your roll' and is available in
convenience and grocery outlets in a growing number of regions throughout the
United States. Innovative Beverage Group began operations as a distributor for
well known national brands of beverage products including Jolt, Rock Star,
Crystal Geyser, Sweet Leaf tea, Arizona Ice tea, and Volvic Water.  Although
the Company continues to distribute many of these well known brands in the
greater Houston area, the expansion of Innovative's proprietary product
division has become foremost in their business model.  Recent corporate
strategies have been focused on the marketing and distribution of drank(TM) to
accommodate the growing demand for the product. Innovative Beverage Group is
also currently working to add additional proprietary products to its line that
will complement drank(TM) and provide consumers with an array of new and
unique concepts in the New Age beverage category.
