LEINENKUGEL'S SUNSET WHEAT BOARDS DELTA FLIGHTS WORLDWIDE
Popular Wisconsin Craft Beer offered to customers on all Delta Flights

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (June 26, 2008) - This month, the Jacob Leinenkugel
Brewing Company began partnering with Delta Air Lines to offer the airline's
customers Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat beer on all Delta flights worldwide.
As the craft beer industry continues to grow in both popularity and sales,
Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is among four beer offerings. The introduction
of Leinenkugel marks Delta's first craft beer offering.

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat, which was first introduced in Upper Midwest
markets in the spring of 2006, has since been making its way across the
country as Leinenkugel's expands its geographic footprint based on its
growing success as a regional brewer. Brewed in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
for 141 years, Leinenkugel's continues to build on its solid fan base and
has a loyalist group called the "Leinie Lodge" made up of over 200,000
members from across the U.S.

"Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is a unique and refreshing beer choice and we
are thrilled to partner with Delta to offer it to passengers on board
flights," said Jake Leinenkugel, Leinenkugel's president and fifth
generation brewer. "This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce
Leinenkugel's to beer lovers and new consumers across the country who are
seeking different varieties to satisfy their taste for adventure."

"Delta is committed to providing its customers with choice and an onboard
experience that is both stylish and entertaining," said Jake Frank, Delta's
managing director of Global Product Development and Delivery. "Offering
customers a premium craft beer like Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat complements
our product strategy and the other enhancements we've recently added for our
customers - including signature cocktails and food created by celebrity
chefs."

Brewed in small, high-quality batches, Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is a
year-round beer featuring a slightly fruity and citrus character
complemented by the gentle spiciness of coriander. It is brewed and
balanced with a combination of malted wheat and pale barley malt, cluster
hops and natural flavors. An orange garnish adds extra refreshment.
Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat contains 4.9 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).
