Established in 2010, Merit Badge offers craft cocktail and bar catering production services for events in the Pacific NW and beyond!
Matt Mount is no stranger to the wonderful world of cocktails. Before founding Merit Badge, Matt worked for House Spirits Distillery for 7 years, and prior to that was bar manager at Paley’s Place. Within that time Matt learned a lot of valuable skills, namely, how to make a mighty fine cocktail.
Fast forward a few years, and Merit Badge is making mighty fine cocktails all over the place. Merit Badge has provided superior bar service at countless events throughout the Northwest -- at weddings, private dinners, office parties, birthday parties, corporate events, and more. In addition, Merit Badge offers cocktail classes, a bottled cocktail drop-off service, and beverage and menu consulting.
