DENVER, CO–(EMWNews – July 29, 2008) – Today, DC Brands International, Inc.

(PINKSHEETS: DCBR) is proud to announce they have been contacted by

Beverage World Magazine to be covered in a three page story featuring the

company and their new groundbreaking line of H.A.R.D. Nutrition products.

Mr. Adam Hays of Beverage World said, “I stumbled onto the link to the Hard

Nutrition website while perusing the BevNet site. Being a beverage

magazine, we see every new product that comes down the pike and it is rare

you see anything truly new. I thought the concept was revolutionary and

called to request samples. We received them last week and after passing

them around the office, we decided immediately these products have

potential and there was a story here.”

Mr. Hays continues, “The concept of keeping the supplements separate solves

both the taste and potency problem and with the upwards trend towards

health, I think these guys have a real contender on their hands. I also

think the company hiring Ashley Coors is a home run and should go a long

way to helping solve the distribution puzzle, which is the key to success

in this industry. We have seen great products with bad or no distribution

fail. Conversely, there are lots of really bad products with great

distribution that make money. However, if you have both, you have the

recipe for success.

“We will be running a feature article on the company and their product line

in our September issue. Over the next few weeks we will be conducting

interviews with members of their team, distributors and manufacturers. I

believe this will be a very interesting story.”
