Seaway Valley Capital Corporation's Sackets Harbor Brewing Company to Restart
Production With Rochester-Based High Falls Brewing Company
- Sackets Harbor Brewing Company to commence commercial scale production and
bottling with one of region's leading brewers -

GOUVERNEUR, N.Y., July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seaway Valley Capital
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SWVL), a diversified holding company, with
the wholly owned subsidiary Sackets Harbor Brewing Company, today announced
that it will immediately re-commence production at Rochester-based High Falls
Brewing Company. (www.highfalls.com)

Production will initially commence on its award winning War of 1812 Amber Ale
that has developed a strong fan base of craft beer aficionados in Central and
Northern New York. Thomas Scozzafava, President of Sackets Harbor Brewing
Company stated, "The master brewers at High Falls have worked closely with
Sackets Harbor Brewing Company for months to make sure the recipe was
carefully reproduced, and we have been extremely pleased with the product to
date. We are excited to re-commence production."

Mr. Scozzafava continued, "The size and of experience of High Falls'
operations and its staff, respectively, made the earlier choice by Sackets
Harbor Brewing Company to partner with High Falls a relatively easy one.
Prior to the production interruption, demand for our product had doubled over
a relatively short time and brewing at High Falls has allowed us to increase
batch production by two and a half times our previous capacity - at much
better overall economics for us."

The larger and more efficient production process paves the way for Sackets
Harbor Brewing Co. to supply its craft beer for its growing national presence.
War of 1812 Amber Ale can be primarily found in restaurants and retail
locations in New York and Florida, but it is also now licensed for
distribution in Massachusetts and Vermont with other state licensing underway.

In a related matter, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation also announced that
effective July 1, 2009, it had transferred from Seaway Valley the assets and
stock of Sackets Harbor Brewing Company into Hackett's Stores, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: HCKE) in exchange for the original ninety six shares of Patrick
Hackett Hardware Company that were transferred in December 2008. The ninety
six shares represented the original shares acquired by WiseBuys Stores, Inc.
on November 7, 2007.
