Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Effective August 19, 2016, New Age Beverages Corporation (Búcha, Inc) made the decision to secure a new independent registered public accounting firm consistent with its new scale and consolidation of its operations to Denver, Colorado.  As a consequence, the Company decided to end its relationship with MaloneBailey, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The decision was approved by the Board of Directors of New Age Beverages Corporation (Bucha, Inc).

During the Registrant's last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the subsequent period through dismissal on June 30, 2016, there were (i) no disagreements with MaloneBailey, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and (ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The report of MaloneBailey, LLP regarding the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of MaloneBailey, LLP on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Registrant provided MaloneBailey, LLP with a copy of the disclosures made in this Current Report on Form 8-K on June 30, 2016, and requested that MaloneBailey, LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Registrant's statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter to be furnished by MaloneBailey, LLP is attached as Exhibit 16.

On June 30, 2016 the Registrant engaged Accell Audit & Compliance, PA (Accell) as the Registrant's new independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Accell was approved by the Board of Directors of New Age Beverages Corporation (Bucha, Inc.)  Accell will be reviewing the financial statements that are to be included in the Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2016.  Accell did not prepare or provide any financial reports for any periods prior to the date of engagement, nor did it prepare or provide any financial reports for, or prior to the year ended December 31, 2015.  Neither the Company, nor any person on behalf of the Company, consulted with Accell during the Company's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Accell and the dismissal of MaloneBailey, LLP.
