ShotPak® Cocktails, The Shot Without The Glass Now Available In Jamaica In Time For The Holiday Season And In Canada After The New Year

SARASOTA, Fla.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The Beverage Pouch Group announces today that SHOT Spirits Corporation (Pink Sheets:SHTP), the owners of the ShotPak® cocktail recipes and also a 15% ownership in the Beverage Pouch Group, will benefit as BPG begins shipping the ShotPak® brand cocktails to Jamaica in time for the upcoming holiday season as well as to Canada after the New Year.

R. Charles Murray, the CEO of Beverage Pouch Group and Chairman of the SHOT Spirits Corporation Management team commented, "We are continuing to expand into new markets where our Safe, Secure and Social messages are appreciated over traditional 50 ml bottle packaging. From 2009 the Red Autumn Brewing Company of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada will offer the full range of our ready-to-drink cocktails and spirits as well as being available throughout Jamaica for the holiday season. We are very pleased that our 'Safe' claim ensuring no drugs can be added to the pouch, coupled with our 'Secure' guarantee that no counterfeit ingredients have been used in the original recipe both support the 'Social' message that the negative effects of any binge drinking is reduced due to the lower alcohol content of these ready-to-drink cocktails. These claims are part of our corporate culture of providing enjoyable and responsible drinking at all times. In addition, it should be noted that ShotPak® pouches are eco-friendly and have the lowest carbon dioxide footprint of similar packaging and thus this very modern pouch package continues to be accepted as well as grow in every market demographic we position them into."

The Beverage Pouch Group and the ShotPak® brand are exploiting a market niche by delivering American ready-to-drink cocktails into new export markets where the original recipes are unknown or where all the ingredients are unavailable. ShotPak® brand cocktails are the first USA cocktails to be exported in a patented StandUp pouch in six and 12 pouch multipacks.
