PORTLAND, Ore. -- 

On March 16th the Flora-Bama, the iconic beach bar located in Orange Beach, straddling the border between Florida and Alabama, will host John Rich for a Redneck Riviera Whiskey (RRW) bottle signing and performances on the various stages at the Flora-Bama. Eastside Distilling, Inc. (NASDAQ: EAST), the producer of Redneck Riviera Whiskey, will be participating in the event. In addition to the bottle signing, RRW promotional materials such as caps, T-shirts, and other items will be handed out. This is an open event and thousands of attendees are expected.

Robert Manfredonia, President of Eastside Distilling, said, “The Flora-Bama is a great supporter of John Rich and Redneck Riviera Whiskey and there is no better place to celebrate Spring Break 2019. We expect a great crowd from both Auburn University and the University of Alabama.”

Redneck Riviera Whiskey is a joint collaboration between Eastside and John Rich, the multi-platinum country-music artist and one-half of the award-winning duo Big & Rich. The Original Redneck Riviera Whiskey and the Granny Rich Reserve were crafted by the distilling team at Eastside, headed up by Mel Heim and Travis Schoney.

John Rich and Eastside support Folds of Honor and have been active advocates on behalf of the foundation, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2018 through the sale of Redneck Riviera Whiskey. Since 2007, the Folds of Honor Foundation has carried forth this singular, noble mission – to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service-members. Their motto says it best: “Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy.”
