American Brewing Announces Completion of Bucha Acquisition.

EDMONDS, WA / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2015 / On August 19, American Brewing Company, Inc.(R), (ABRW) ("ABC"), an award-winning micro-brewing company and owner of bucha (TM) live Kombucha, released the company's 10Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. This quarterly report also reflected the audited financials of its recent acquisition of bùcha (TM) live Kombucha brand.

The "bucha" brand and its operations are now fully integrated into American Brewing. The transformational accretive acquisition of "bucha" was a result of a 26% dilutive transaction that resulted in an immediate revenue increase of over 300%. Cash and equity were used and the equity is subject to a very shareholder friendly, 18-month leak-out provision. In addition to this, we currently have other exciting deals in the pipeline, both "white label" and "acquisitive" that could have a similar impact on the company. Our lengthy self-imposed quiet period due to the acquisition audit has ended and shareholders can now expect frequent communication.

Excluding one-time charges related to the acquisition, we are now cash flow positive.

Guidance

Based on organic growth, addition of new store locations to existing accounts, accompanied by new accounts, we anticipate fiscal year 2016 revenues to increase roughly 63%. This does not include the beverage deals in our pipeline.

The macro outlook for Kombucha is impressive as well according to KBI, with U.S. sales estimated to grow from $500 million in 2015 to $1.8 billion by 2020. According to the Kombucha Brewers International Union, Kombucha is experiencing 30% growth in the natural channel and 50% growth in the conventional channel. It is the fastest growing functional beverage category. Our búcha brand grew 79% from 2013 to 2014.

We now have the opportunity to capitalize on the established business that bucha(TM) has created over the years, by using our own proprietary processes and great flavors. We already have a significant footprint in Kroger, Safeway and Whole Foods, just to name a few. We anticipate further distribution opportunities along with increasing shelf space, accompanied by more accretive transactions in our pipeline.
