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.
With the rapid growth of the craft brewery market, many brewers
are seeking to establish new production facilities closer to their
markets. Seawright Springs, with its ideal location and high
quality spring water source expects to draw interest from several
well-established craft brewers who are seeking an east coast
production facility.
Seawright Holdings owns Seawright Springs, a natural spring
flowing some of America's purest drinking water, located in
Virginia's Shenandoah Valley on 144 acres of protected woodlands.
The spring produces in excess of 1 million gallons of water a day
and is one of the largest sources of natural spring water on the
Eastern seaboard. These large water reserves are strategically
located within a one-day drive to all of the major cities on the
East Coast. According to Sens, Seawright could become a major
supplier of high quality potable water to any of these major
markets. The price of water is expected to rise exponentially
in the next few years and we are pleased to own one of the very few
untouched premier sites not only on the East Coast, but in the
United States. Seawright Springs produces in excess of 400 million
gallons of water annually. Water was first bottled and sold from
this unique natural spring in 1890 and was marketed throughout the
U.S. Prior to that, it was used by Native Americans who vouched for
its healing qualities and by the early explorers and settlers in
Virginia.
