This is sort of the cart before the horse story, but it’s interesting that Seawright Springs is actually seeking out a “well-recognized craft brewer” to use it’s Shenandoah Mountain spring water. This from Marketwatch:
Joel Sens, CEO of Seawright Holdings, Inc., reports that plans are underway to retain an industry leading beverage consulting firm to assist the company in finding a well-recognized craft brewer to utilize the famous Seawright Springs water in the production of its beer.
Sens references that there is a precedent of major brewers having interest in high-quality water source locations in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. In 2007, when Coors was looking for a location to establish an east coast brewery, it chose a site located about 25 miles from the Seawright Springs property. The reason for Coors selection of the site was for the high quality of the water in the area coupled with the ideal location which is within a one-day's drive to nearly two thirds of the U.S. population. Coors has cited that the establishment of the east coast facility resulted in a $25 million annual distribution cost savings.
