room and beer garden at the corner of General Booth Blvd. and Corporate Landing. Green Flash teamed up with Hampton Roads-based devel- opers, The Miller Group, to proceed with land acquisition, design and permitting. “We couldn’t be happier that Green Flash has chosen Vir- ginia Beach as its East Coast location,” said Mayor William Sessoms. “When they reach capacity, Green Flash will be producing 100,000 barrels of beer every year from Virginia Beach, and that is certainly something to celebrate.” “After announcing plans to build our facility in Virginia Beach, we have been moving forward step-by-step towards breaking ground,” said Mike Hinkley co-founder and CEO of Green Flash Brewing Co. “We are breaking ground to enter the first phase of con- struction, focused on the layout and building orientation on the nine-acre lot. We want to be sure we are mindful of our impact on the immediate sur- roundings, so we are planning to incorporate the pre-existing landscape and trees into our spacious beer garden and will develop routes for smart traf- fic flow, accessible walkways and ample parking for guests. We extend many thanks to everyone in the community for making us feel welcome and at home from day one and look forward to celebrating our opening upon completion of construction in 2016.” The steadily growing de- mand for Green Flash beers on the East Coast prompted the need for a second brewery. Virginia Beach was chosen due to its ease of access from all mid-Atlantic corridors as well as for its coastal landscape and cultural similarities to San Diego. n
