Historie

Grey Matter Distillery is located in Atlantic Beach, Florida, and presents a friendly bar environment where beach charm meets modern design. According to their site, the space was designed by the team and built by owner Paul Grey, and the venue is described as a cozy and intimate space where four handcrafted spirits are produced on-site with distillation and bottling equipment.

The distillery also hosts a number of events throughout the year. Their HOLIDAY POP-UP BAR began in 2021, when Florida allowed distilleries to serve cocktails, and since then the theme has been repeated each year in the period around Black Friday to the early January with special drinks, themed trivia, scavenger hunts and festive music – all personally decorated by the owner and family.

In February they celebrate love with Pink Matter Distillery, where the love theme and cocktails are at the center, and in May they bring Retro Month with nostalgic decoration, classic drinks and themed events. Year-round they offer other special events and partnerships, all focused on experience and festive themes.
