1812 Brewing Company's War of 1812 Amber Ale Wins Gold Medal and Amber Category Champion in World Beer Championships in Chicago

-- Third Gold Medal in less than 12 months for "1812 Amber" --

WATERTOWN, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2023 / 1812 BREWING COMPANY, INC. (OTC PINK:KEGS) (the "Company" or "KEGS") is pleased to announce that its War of 1812 Amber Ale has won the Gold Medal and was the amber category winner in the 2023 World Beer Championships held by Chicago-based Beverage Testing Institute (www.bevtest.com). The gold medal is KEGS' third gold medal in less than twelve months and the Company's fifth overall medal in as many competitions for its flagship brand, War of 1812 Amber Ale or "1812 Amber."

• In August 2022, War of 1812 Amber won the U.S. Gold Medal in the 2022 World Beer Awards and was the United States' Winner in the Amber category and went on to compete against other winners from around the world the following month in London, England.
• In November 2022, a Gold Medal was awarded to War of 1812 Amber Ale at 23rd Annual Great International Beer, Cider, Mead & Sake Competition in the "American Amber" category.

Chairman and CEO, Tom Scozzafava stated, "These contests are validating our efforts to develop world-class products that will be well-received by consumers regardless of the market. Clearly, War of 1812 Amber has proven in twelve short months that the product is not only well-received but considered "best in class" by most beverage experts that have tasted the beer. What is important now, is to rapidly and effectively get this product available to consumers nation-wide and in Canada." Mr. Scozzafava continued, "That effort made significant ground when KEGS consummated its deal with TapRm, where 1812 Amber can be made available via e-commerce to most zip codes in 45 states plus Washington DC at:

https://1812-brewing.taprm.com/all-products

We encourage consumers to give TapRm.com and 1812 Amber a try! And please note the Company should ultimately have 3 or 4 products available to purchase online at TapRm over the coming months."

"Finally," Mr. Scozzafava concluded, "as it relates to other matters related to KEGS public marketplace, as always, we keep our eyes on per share value and its impact on adjustments management may make as a result of that value. Simply speaking, if KEGS share price appreciates the necessity of five billion shares of authorized stock diminishes. Hypothetically, for the Company to raise $10 million at $1.00 per share takes only an issuance of 10 million shares and so on and so forth. I can assure you we are keenly aware of where KEGS share price is and where we hope it is in the future so that such structural adjustments can be made."
