New Age Beverage Corporation

Brings 20+ Years of Experience in the Beverage Industry to the Role in Senior Executive Financial Roles with New Age, Qualcomm, and Pepsico

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / October 17, 2016 / New Age Beverages Corporation (OTC: NBEV) the Colorado-based owner of the XingTea®, XingEnergy®, Aspen Pure®, and the Búcha® Live Kombucha brands today announced that Charles "Chuck" Ence has been promoted to the role of Chief Financial Officer for New Age Beverages Corporation.

Mr. Ence brings over 20 years of beverage experience in senior finance roles to the position. For the past 13 years, he served as the Chief Financial Officer and part owner for New Age Beverages, LLC, a private beverage company based in Denver, Colorado, until its acquisition by Bucha, Inc. on June 30, 2016. In this role, he managed all the financial affairs of New Age and their other portfolio companies helping lead the firm into becoming one of the top 100 non-alcoholic beverage companies worldwide. He helped guide the expansion of the business to ultimately penetration of 46 states domestically and 10 countries internationally, with consistent growth and profitability throughout his tenure.

Prior to New Age, Chuck was a senior executive, Planning Manager and Director of Finance for Quantum Corp. Following Quantum he served as a Director of Finance and Investor Relations at On Command Corp. Mr. Ence began his career at PepsiCo. During his 12 years at Pepsi, Mr. Ence served as a financial analyst, planning supervisor, planning and analysis manager and ultimately controller. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Accounting from Southern Utah University in 1984, and obtained a Masters in Business Administration in Finance from Arizona State University School of Business in 1985.

Mr. Ence replaces Robert Miranda, who sadly passed away late last week after a valiant battle with cancer. Bob served as Chief Financial Officer for the Corporation for a brief period of time through the transition and acquisition of New Age that was completed at the end of the second quarter.

Brent Willis, Chief Executive of New Age Beverages Corporation commented, "We are so pleased to have someone of the quality and experience of Chuck Ence take the financial reins of the Company. He has the depth and experience and history to make a huge difference for the Company going forward. At the same time, we are sad to lose a friend and colleague in Bob Miranda. Bob was a world-class CFO and a very good guy. He will be sorely missed. Although we were prepared for what might happen with Bob from a business standpoint, from a personal standpoint it is nonetheless challenging, and we wish his family the best in this difficult period."
