(DKAM.OB)Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. Introductes Rheingold Beer, New York’s Beer Since 1883

Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by PublicWire in Retail   

(PublicWire.com Press Release)Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: DKAM) a leading owner, developer and marketer of premium beverages associated with renowned icons, announced that it will introduce Rheingold Beer, New York’s Beer since 1883.

Orders for Rheingold Beer are in place from key Metro New York distributors. Drinks Americas will be partnering with Phoenix Beverage Company, distributors of Heineken, Miller Beer, and Brooklyn Beer, in the heart of Rheingold’s market of Metro New York and Brooklyn. In New Jersey, Rheingold will be distributed by L.A. Piccirillo. F&F Distributors, Franklin Distributors and Drinx Unlimited will distribute the brand in Connecticut.

The last time Rheingold Beer was marketed prior to the brand’s acquisition by Drinks Americas in 2005, Rheingold sold approximately $5 million in annual revenue in Metro New York. Since 2005, the economy beer segment continues to expand driven by consumer and retail trends in the current economy.

J. Patrick Kenny said, “Rheingold Beer is well known to New Yorkers. The taste of our beer has been tested with New Yorkers who expect a very easy drinking beer to be found inside the Rheingold trademark red and white can. We believe for our shareholders that this has the potential of being a multi-million dollar brand addition to our portfolio which is ready to launch now. Rheingold can be a profitable and scalable addition to our business. Having Phoenix Beverage as our Metro New York distribution partner is very exciting. Commencing with orders for each of the Metro New York markets gets us off to a great start. We have the beer, the quality and taste and great history, now we just need a new Miss Rheingold!”

Production of the great tasting, easy drinking beer is being sourced at The Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre PA, with the recognizably classic Rheingold 12 ounce can six packs expected to reach the Metro New York market in August.

Rheingold Beer, founded in 1883, was at one time New York’s premier beer with 35 percent of the state’s beer market from 1950 to 1960. According to the New York Times, “Rheingold Beer was once a top New York brew guzzled regularly by a loyal cadre of workingmen who would just as soon have eaten nails as drink another beer maker’s suds.”

At the center of its media campaign was the Miss Rheingold Pageant. Rheingold Beer drinkers voted each year on the young lady who would be featured as Miss Rheingold in advertisements. In the 1940’s and 1950’s in New York, the selection of Miss Rheingold was as highly anticipated as the race for the White House. When Nat King Cole became the first major black entertainer to host a television show, advertisers stayed away, but not Rheingold; Rheingold was the New York regional sponsor for Cole’s show. When other Brooklyn Dodger sponsors were reluctant to advertise when Jackie Robinson joined the team, Rheingold increased its advertising. As early as 1965, Rheingold aired television ads featuring African American, Puerto Rican and Asian actors which Drinks Americas intends to make available on its new www.rheingoldbrewingcompany.com web site. Rheingold was also the official beer of the New York Mets. Among others, Rheingold advertising has featured John Wayne, Jackie Robinson, and Groucho Marx, and to this day the Rheingold jingle is recognizable to most New Yorkers.

Beginning July 19, the website, as well as the full library of historic advertising and the Rheingold jingle, can be found at www.rheingoldbrewingcompany.com. The brand will be supported by a full line of point of sale that includes some of these great classic iconic endorsements historically associated with the brand. Our marketing focus will begin in lower Manhattan and key areas of Brooklyn.

(HWSY.OB)Hawk Systems, Inc. Delivers First 28 Units Of Biometric Vehicle Identification Car Starter – SECUREPASSTM

Posted on 29. Jun, 2010 by PublicWire in Retail   

(PublicWire.com Press Release)Auto theft is one of the biggest problems in the US today. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a vehicle is stolen in the US every 26 seconds. Hawk Systems, Inc.’s (OTCBB:HWSY) (”Hawk Systems”) has an innovative solution designed to protect from vehicle theft with the installation of Hawk Systems’ patented biometric fingerprint technology.

Hawk Systems (www.hawksystemsinc.com) delivered last week the first 28 units of its patented biometric vehicle identification car starter system to 45th Street Auto Sales, Inc. The Hawk Biometric Vehicle Identification Car Starter (SECUREPASSTM) is a fingerprint-identification security technology device offering automotive security to automobile owners, buyers and dealers alike.

45th Street Auto Sales, Inc., is a Buy Here Pay Here car lot located in West Palm Beach Florida. 45th Street Auto Sales has also signed a contract to install Hawk Systems’ SECUREPASSTM System Vehicle Identification System on all cars sold by 45th Street Auto Sales.

Hawk Systems’ goal with the SECUREPASSTM technology is focused on prevention; rather than just the recovery of a vehicle after it has been stolen. The SECUREPASSTM system offers a proactive measure to theft or car-jacking; in contrast, most of the security systems available today are reactive systems, such as: GPS, basic car alarms, and other similar systems, which emit only noise or radio signals while a vehicle is being stolen. Hawk Systems’ SECUREPASSTM system is a true multi-layer live fingerprint-ID security device, not just an optical scan of a fingerprint. The system offers redundant, fail-safe automotive security and once installed it will render the vehicle inoperable to any non-authorized user. The SECUREPASSTM system supports up to 16 approved users per vehicle.

Michael Diamant, CEO, stated, “Hawk Systems believes fingerprint security will, in the coming year or two, be as common as cell phones. With an increase in vehicle thefts occurring, people will see the benefit to protecting their vehicle before it is stolen rather than trying to locate and recover it after the fact. We believe that SECUREPASSTM provides that proactive security.”
