A SALUTE TO VETERANS, MILITARY SPOUSES AT SUMMIT POINTE BUSINESSES

Adobestock 176166275 Dark

A SALUTE TO VETERANS, MILITARY
SPOUSES
AT SUMMIT POINTE BUSINESSES

Summit Pointe is proud to be home to several businesses owned and operated by military veterans or military spouses. This month, as we celebrate Veterans Day, meet a few of the men and women behind these establishments:

Aaron Holley
Co-Founder

WASSERHUND BREWING COMPANY

Aaron and Christine Holley, the couple behind Wasserhund Brewing Company, have been together since they were juniors at Kellam High School in Virginia Beach.

“She’s an Army brat and I was a Navy brat,” Aaron Holley said. “Then I joined the Navy and she followed me.”

Holley got a Navy ROTC scholarship and took that to Virginia Tech, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering and a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry.

After graduation, he worked for Naval Reactors, or the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, in Washington, D.C., which oversees the design and construction of naval reactors. He reached the rank of full lieutenant by the time his five years of service ended.

An avid home brewer, Holley would go to craft breweries, sample their wares and think, “I make beer better than this and they’re making money off of it.” He also remembered how he used to joke with college buddies that he could use his chemical engineering background to open a brewery.

So he decided to do it, writing a 20-page business plan to persuade his wife. They opened their first location in Virginia Beach in 2015, adding a second spot in Summit Pointe in 2021.

Having fallen in love with German beer culture after attending the world-famous Oktoberfest in Munich, the couple wanted a German name for their brewery. They chose “Wasserhund” — or “water hound” — in tribute to their two dogs, who love to jump in the water to swim and play.

Krystal Henry
Owner

THE KEY SALON STUDIOS

Krystal Henry’s husband, Elliott, is on active duty with the Coast Guard.

He joined as a reservist in 2007 and since then has served five active-duty tours. “He selected the Coast Guard because he has always had a passion for law enforcement and wants to further serve our country,” said Krystal Henry, owner of The Key Salon Studios.

She noted that her husband has been surrounded by law enforcement since an early age, with numerous members of his family also serving. He also serves his community as a police officer for the Chesapeake Police Department.

Gray Livingston,
Owner
Amanda Bonano,
Manager

PALE HORSE COFFEE

Gray Livingston discovered his passion for great coffee during his more than 20 years of service in the Air Force. He now owns Pale Horse Coffee — roasteries and shops with the motto “country first, coffee second.”

Livingston enlisted right out of high school, originally signing up to serve four years and to get out of his hometown near Flint, Michigan.

He first worked as an electronic technician on intercontinental ballistic missile systems. After completing his bachelor’s degree, Livingston was commissioned at his 10-year point and served the rest of his career as a communications officer.

 

Amanda Bonano became a military wife in 2002.

“I would say I married my husband, but I married the military,” said Bonano, manager of Pale Horse Coffee. “I think some don’t realize the sacrifices that military families go through. It has its up and downs for sure.”

Bonano’s husband, a submariner, has been in the Navy for 25 years and is close to retirement. While “he has missed a lot to serve his country,” Bonano said, “we have gained an extra family. You get to be real close to other service members and their families.”

“I have been so proud to be a military wife,” Bonano added. “My daughter, now 18, knows the importance of what her dad had to do and is still doing.”

GO GREEN FROM THE GROUND UP
AT SUMMIT POINTE

Mountains

At Coastal Virginia’s newest metropolitan center and lifestyle community, living and working in luxury go hand in hand with being green.

Summit Pointe features lush green spaces, including outdoor cafes and an urban pocket park where residents and visitors alike can gather. Pollinator plants around campus attract bees, so important for supporting biodiversity.

Summit pointe’s buildings are constructed with energy-effcient argon-enclosed curtain glass walls and HVAC systems. On top of the second floor at 555 Belaire, a green roof with succulents promotes sustainability by needing less energy for cooling and heating. Solar heat helps the plants grow and minimizes the heat flux, while additional roof insulation helps keep the building cool by reducing the loss of cold air.

Pedestrain pathways and proximity to public transportation also help make Summit Pointe environmetally friendly. You can live here, work here and dine here- and not have to drive. And if you drive,all three garages,where parking is free, offer charging stations for electric vehicles.

Call 757.842.6537 or email info@SummitPointeVA.com for a personal tour.

PALE HORSE PROVIDES POLICE PARKING

Police officers can pull right up to Pale Horse Coffee at 531 Belaire to grab a cup of joe. A parking spot in front of the coffeehouse is reserved just for them.

Veteran-owned Pale Horse carries a multitude of single-origin coffees and a full line of flavored coffees. Beans from around the world are roasted locally using a unique air roasting method that makes Pale Horse coffee especially smooth.

Chef Eric Nelson Gets Creative with
neat bird at Summit Pointe

We are thrilled to announce that neat bird has leased 4,000 square feet at 565 Belaire Avenue. The restaurant is the next creative platform for Chef Eric Nelson of crudo nudo in Norfolk. He describes the neat bird concept as “the perfect combination of the things that most of us crave all the time: fried chicken (done right), whiskey simple (and also a full bar), fresh salads and vegetables (because everything won’t be fried), and sandwiches that aren’t boring (we get creative). The people of neat bird (the staff and the guests) are the kind of people we crave all the time too: hospitality driven, casual, family-like and friendly. neat bird is going to be the kind of place that you want to hang out and tell your friends about. The kind of place you come after work (or during work, for lunch). It’ll be a break from the boring with the creature comforts of a menu that you can enjoy dining in or bringing home. The atmosphere and music will be equally as creative. And, a large patio will provide additional opportunities for outdoor dining. If you’ve been to crudo nudo in Norfolk, you’ll be excited to know that it’s from the same brain – with a totally different spin.”


BEER OLYMPICS AT
WASSERHUND BREWING COMPANY

You’ll have to wait till next year for the Beer Olympics, but enjoy some of these images. And, you can stop by for a cold one and some delicious pizza any day!
