Eldorado Artesian Springs Adds Two Kroger Chains -- King Soopers and City Market -- to Western Distribution of Its Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water

LOUISVILLE, CO--(Marketwire - September 11, 2008) - Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. (OTCBB: ELDO) today announced that two grocery divisions owned by The Kroger Co. have become the latest major chains to offer Eldorado's Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water.

King Soopers, with 141 stores, and City Market, with 38 stores, both are major players in the Colorado market and plan to carry all six flavors of Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water.

Promotions of the Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water are planned for September 14, 2008, at the Fiestes Patrias in Denver's Civic Center Park -- a large community event that is co-sponsored by King Soopers and Eldorado Artesian Springs. Eldorado will be offering free samples and distributing coupons for Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water as well as the Company's flagship Natural Spring Water produced from its artesian spring in nearby Eldorado Springs, CO. In conjunction with that event, beginning on September 24, 2008, Eldorado products will be offered on sale on high visibility end-aisle displays in 85 King Soopers and City Market stores. The same stores will be offering free samples on September 27, 2008.

"We are delighted to welcome King Soopers and City Market to our growing list of grocery and retail customers offering Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water in the Rocky Mountain Region," said Doug Larson, president and CEO of Eldorado Artesian Springs. "Both King Soopers and City Market are high profile organizations in the Western U.S., known for their commitment to carrying high quality products and supporting regionally-based companies such as Eldorado Artesian Springs."

"King Soopers has been a customer for our flagship spring water products for several years, and we are looking forward to working with them to roll out our Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water," said Kate Janssen, VP Sales for Eldorado. "Our on-premise sampling programs will be effective in raising awareness of the product's award-winning spring water taste and unique organic sweetener, which we believe is superior to competing products that use high fructose sweeteners. We have seen these sampling initiatives significantly boost sales in previous programs and believe we can achieve similar results with King Soopers and City Market."

The Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water is also available in Albertson's, Vitamin Cottage, K&G (Jenny's Markets), and one of the nation's premier natural foods supermarkets. The product, which has superior taste and a unique organic component, is available to more than 2,000 other retail outlets, convenience stores and on-premise locations by distributors UNFI and US Food Service.

The product line includes six flavors: Peach/Mango, DragonFruit, Black Raspberry, Pink Passion Guava, Sicilian Orange and Strawberry/Blueberry. All flavors have recently been reformulated to use 16 grams of organic cane sugar per serving, which is high enough to preserve the drink's great flavor but low enough to qualify under nutrition guidelines adopted by certain school districts. The organic cane sugar, in addition to the natural spring water, gives the product a differential competitive advantage in the fastest growing segment of the bottled water business.

The Company's Organic Vitamin Charged Spring Water was recently the subject of a feature story on CNBC's PowerLunch program (a replay of the video is available at http://www.eldoradosprings.com).
