WILTON, Conn., Sept. 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (OTCBB:DKAM), a leading developer and marketer of beverage products, today announced that Rheingold Beer, New York's beer since 1883, is now selling in Pennsylvania through three distributors providing coverage in the eastern part of the state.
Kirchner Beverage, LT Verrastro Distributing and Durdach Brothers are providing coverage in the counties of Susquehanna, Wayne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Pike, Monroe, Luzerne, Carbon, Tioga, Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan, Clinton, Montour, Columbia, North Umberland, Union, Snyder, Schuykill, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Dauphin, Lebanon, Cumberland, Fulton, Franklin, Adams, York and Lancaster.
