Beyoncé-backed water company headed by ex-New Belgium leader is moving to Denver

DENVER — WTRMLN WTR, which makes cold-pressed watermelon water, is moving its corporate headquarters to Denver.

The company, whose product is sold in more than 10,000 stores across the country, said it decided to move from New York to Denver because of its reputation as a healthy and clean city.

Christine Perich, who was formerly chief executive at New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, is WTRMLN WTR’s new CEO.
