Green Flash Brings On New Investors, Shutters Virginia Beach Brewery

After taking on “too much debt” to build an expansive East Coast brewery, San Diego’s Green Flash Brewing today announced that it would cease operations at its 58,000 sq. ft. Virginia Beach production facility and terminate 43 employees in the process. The Virginia Beach brewery, which cost approximately $20 million to build and is capable of being scaled to 100,000 barrels, is currently for sale as part of an online auction run by Heritage Global Partners. Additionally, Green Flash — which also owns the Alpine Beer Company brands — has secured capital from a new but undisclosed investor group.
