Yet another new regional small brewery, this time it’s Young Veterans Brewing Co coming to Virginia Beach, VA. Details from Hamptonroads:
Wilder spent a year building roads and providing security at a forward operating base in northern Iraq - "a defining period" in his life, he says - and later this year, he and fellow Iraq War veteran Neil McCanon plan to open a brewery in Virginia Beach.
The old high school buddies are the latest in a growing line of local homebrewers to turn their hobby into a small business - part of a nationwide boom in the craft beer industry.
If all goes as planned, Young Veterans Brewing Company will be the fifth brewery to open in South Hampton Roads in three years.
The posters promote beers with names such as "New Recruit Honey Blonde Ale," "Pineapple Grenade Hefeweizen," "Night Vision American Stout," "Semper Fi P.A." (pale ale), and - cover your ears - "Jet Noise Double IPA."
A 2,000-square-foot industrial space off Dam Neck Road - not far from Beach Brewing Company - has been leased, and they hope to have a couple of fermenting tanks installed within the next couple of months.
