THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and TORONTO, April 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (the “Company" or "Tinley") (CSE:TNY) (OTCQX:TNYBF) (formerly OTC:QRSRF) is pleased to announce that it has produced an initial batch of its Tinley^TM Cocktails cannabis margarita.  Tinley is also pleased to announce that a leading licensed distributor has agreed in principle to carry Tinley cannabis-infused products throughout California, and it is working towards a definitive distribution agreement in time for the anticipated release of the product.

Initial Batch of Cannabis Margarita

The Company has produced an initial batch of its Tinley^TM Cocktails ready-to-drink Margarita.  The product is infused with 10mg of cannabis, creating what the Company believes is a level of psychoactive intensity comparable to a single alcohol-based cocktail.  Alcohol-free, Tinley products provide a standalone cannabis experience, and can be distributed via licensed California dispensaries. Tinley ^TM Cocktails Margarita is made with the same extracts and flavors that are used to make tequila and other ingredients found in margarita cocktails.  The product also contains terpenes commonly found in sativa strains.  The product is presently undergoing testing and, if successful, will be packaged and released for retail distribution.  The Company intends to distribute the initial batch to a relatively small and defined group of consumers, primarily for product feedback, logistic/supply chain control and verification, and additional forms of structured and lifestyle product testing.  The Company intends to produce additional batches in the coming weeks factoring in feedback from the initial controlled distribution.

Product Distribution 

A Southern California-based distributor has agreed in principle to carry the Tinley line of cannabis-infused products throughout the state, and it is presently working to finalize a definitive distribution agreement for Tinley products.  The distributor is one of the first to receive both state and local distribution licenses in a major Southern California metropolitan area, and has warehouses throughout the state.  The Company expects a definitive agreement to be in place in time for the release of the initial margarita product batch.
