Our guest speaker was Chris Mason, co-owner of the Watermark Brewery Co. He and his partners, Jason Shull and David Cockel, shared a mutual interest in microbrewing and opened Watermark Brewing Co. in 2016.
Watermark is a community- and family-friendly business. It has recently been named the 3rd-best beer garden in the country by USA Today!
In June of 2020, they opened the “Solarium”, a wedding event venue, situated behind the Brewery. In February 2025, they opened an indoor golf venue,” Depths Society Golf,” across the street from St. Paul’s church.
Watermark is involved with many non-profit organizations, including the “Polar Plunge” event in February each year. This event raises thousands of dollars for the Special Olympics.
