Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is generating excitement with the introduction of a military tribute beer produced by a veteran-owned brewery. Social media users are applauding the new brew for not conforming to woke culture. The brewery, Armed Forces Brewing Co., plans to establish its headquarters and first brewing facility in Norfolk, as announced by the governor’s office on Friday. CEO Alan Beal expressed enthusiasm about opening the flagship brewery and taproom in Norfolk, a city with a significant veteran and active-duty military population. Beal praised Virginia as an ideal state for starting a brewing business. The decision to set up in Norfolk was influenced by Governor Youngkin, who encouraged the brewery’s team to explore what the state had to offer. Armed Forces Brewing Co., which offers ownership stakes for as little as $200, is dedicated to employing veterans and becoming an integral part of the patriotic community in Norfolk. The headquarters and brewery are expected to provide employment opportunities for around 50 individuals. The company is jointly owned by approximately 7,800 investors who invested as little as $200 per share. Notably, one of the owners is Robert J. O’Neill, a Navy SEAL Team 6 member involved in the mission to capture Osama Bin Laden. Governor Youngkin expressed his excitement about the company’s arrival in Virginia through a statement. The company’s website states that they will utilize every invested dollar to produce exceptional beer, expand their brand, and increase sales and distribution. Supporters on social media are praising the brand and drawing comparisons to Bud Light. Users have commended Armed Forces Brewing Co. for their refusal to conform to woke culture and have expressed distaste for light beer. In contrast, Bud Light has faced challenges in reclaiming its consumer base and has received negative feedback on social media. Bud Light sales have experienced significant declines in recent weeks. This decline seems to have affected other brands under Anheuser Busch as well. The brand faced criticism for a recent commercial featuring a person eating a watermelon at a picnic.
