The Watershed Story
When Greg Lehman quit his job to open a distillery, he turned his back on convention, on expectation, on conformity. He traded predictable and a paycheck for passion and the pursuit of something more, refusing to believe that how it’s always been done is how it must be done forever more. He made jeans and a t-shirt the uniform of ambition and saw a desire to keep learning as a competitive edge.
Today, the Watershed Distillery brand symbolizes the American dream and the grit it takes to realize it. Built in the heart of the Midwest, the brand resonates with dreamers and doers who are not afraid to forge their own paths. Watershed’s path began in 2010 with a dream to revive Ohio’s once abundant distilling traditions, and the inspiration to create spirits and experiences that bring people together. That dream continues to live on today.
Watershed Distillery produces Ohio’s #1 selling Ohio-made bourbon and gin portfolios, along with an award-winning craft vodka and a variety of specialty spirits.
Watershed offers daily tours and is home to Watershed Kitchen + Bar—consistently named one of the top restaurants and cocktail bars in Columbus.
