In local South Boston business news, on Friday, Grand Ten Distilling posted the following message on Instagram:

Since we first fired up the stills here in 2011, this Southie has been more than just a place to make delicious booze; it’s been our home. We’ve seen Southie transform, we’ve welcomed tens of thousands of you for tours and cocktails, and we’ve built a family within these walls. We’re filled with sadness to be leaving the place where it all began. Our bar and tasting room will have its final day on October 19th.

The truth is that all things must change. Like many businesses, we are facing the challenge of rising costs in the city we love. This has made it increasingly difficult for us to operate from our current location. While it’s time to close this chapter, we are not closing the book.

Consider this a “see you later,” not a goodbye. Our departure is temporary, and GrandTen will return to Boston. In the interim, we will be announcing our new location shortly.

With immense gratitude, we thank each and every one of you for your support and for sharing a drink with us. Your visits to our distillery have made our journey unforgettable, and consider this your invitation to join us one more time before we head out.

In Good Spirits,
Matt

We wish Matt and the team at Grand Ten Distilling well wishes!  They have been a fun addition to the neighborhood -Friday night flights, trivia nights, spirits by the bottle, and amazing craft cocktails at the bar!  If you ever asked for a donation, Matt always said yes!  Stop by and show them some love and support before they close the doors in Southie! And raise a glass to Grand Ten’s future!
