/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES ./

The Company continues to elevate its Brands in new markets with heightened scale

Hill Street Beverage Company Inc. (the " Company ") (TSXV: BEER) is pleased to announce a partnership with New York based alcohol-free beverage retailer Boisson.  Born out of a love for mixology and a shared necessity of well-being, Boisson is a progressive retail concept that has been created to serve the fast-growing movement toward a conscious approach of "better and better for you" consumption.

The demand for alcohol-free wine is growing worldwide, driven in-part by what the New York Times is calling the 'sober curious movement'. The desire to reduce alcohol intake among a growing number of these cleaner drinking, more health-conscious consumers is driving demand for better quality non-alcoholic options.

This first of its kind partnership is aimed at immersing the Hill Street brand into the lifestyle, scale and reach of influential people and destinations in the largest US market, New York .

"This program furthers our strategy to introduce our brands to markets with heightened scale. By leveraging tastemakers, we are accelerating our participation in this growth opportunity", said Lori Senecal , Co-CEO of Hill Street.  "Given our mission to bring craft quality together with science to create better tasting, better for you experiences, we are well positioned to deliver strong value in this category".

The partnership will kick-off with product sampling, influencer engagement and retail pop-ups at innovative lifestyle destinations in Montauk, New York .  Designed to get "liquid on lips", the aim is to elevate the profile of Vin (Zero) wines with this pre-disposed target customer base to drive discovery, trial and sales.  Vin(Zero) branded Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot, Chardonnay and Brut Blanc alcohol-free wines will all be available for purchase throughout the program at these pop-up locations as well as at Boisson's New York retail stores.

"We're so excited to partner with Hill Street, and to welcome Vin (Zero) into our physical stores and online," said Nick Bodkins , co-founder of Boisson. "Our mission at Boisson is to curate the best selection of non-alcoholic options for our customers from around the world. The brands we share with our customers help them celebrate longer and enjoy better. Bringing these brands to Montauk to share with our customers helps us further that mission."
