Ben E. KEITH Beverage DISTRIBUTORS introduces

Napa Smith Beer to texas

These hand crafted ales will be distributed throughout the Lone Star State

DALLAS, June 24, 2011- The Napa Smith Brewery has partnered with Ben E.
Keith Beverage Distributors to offer their unique beers across the Lone Star
State beginning June 1, 2011. Napa Valley is internationally known for its
reputation for fine food and wine, and now Napa Smith Brewery adds their
family of beers that are "Brewed for Food" to the mix.	Initially focused in
California, the brewery has expanded their reach and is finally bringing
their beer to Texas.

Napa Smith Brewery is located at the southern gateway to Napa Valley, just
south of the town of Napa.  Napa Smith is proud to contribute to the Napa
tradition of hard work, and is committed to producing beer worthy of that
reputation.  The brewery creates beers with the help of Master Brewer Don
Barkley, the most experienced brewer in America.

Don has been brewing beer for over 30 years and knows the ins and outs of
the craft beer industry.  He started brewing beer in 1978 at New Albion
Brewery, America's first new brewery since Prohibition.  Don helped found the
Mendocino Brewing Company where he spent 25 years as the Master Brewer.  Don
joined the Napa Smith Brewery with the belief that beer should pair well with
food, and Napa Smith even goes so far as to put a suggested food pairing on
the back label of each of their beers.

"The demand for high quality craft beer has fueled Ben E. Keith Beverages;
we believe this partnership with Napa Smith Brewery will be a wonderful
addition to our portfolio of beers," said Kevin Bartholomew, president of Ben
E. Keith Beverages.

"We are very excited to bring our beer to the Texas market.  We know Texas
knows beer and we look forward to meeting the many Texans who are interested
in Napa Valley's finest offering in beer," Said Steve Morgan, President of
Napa Smith  Brewery.

Ben E. Keith has begun distributing Organic IPA, Lost Dog Red Ale, and Wheat
beers in bottles and Organic IPA and Wheat Beers on draught throughout the
state of Texas.  More information about the Napa Smith Brewery can be found
at their website www.napasmithbrewery.com<http://www.napasmithbrewery.com> 
and on their Facebook Page at
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Napa-Smith-Winery-Brewery/156695956870 .
