Love a locally crafted hard cider? We have good news for you. 

Mountain West Hard Cider, a Salt Lake City-based operation that makes ciders and wine, appears ready to build a second location in town, according to a commercial building permit filed with Salt Lake City on April 2. 

The permit says the new location would be on the first floor of The Journeyman apartments, a seven-floor apartment building recently finished at 646 S. 400 West. The Journeyman is located on the eastern edge of the Granary District and just north of the Granary Campus. The interior of the new cidery would be 4,455 square feet, according to the building permit. 

The permit gave a handful of details on the project, including that the new location would, “will include a restaurant and brewery with (a) small package store and outdoor seating area.” 

Mountain West’s primary location is found at 425 N. 400 West in Marmalade, and the building features a bottle shop, a full-service bar and an outdoor patio space that hosts events in the warmer months. 

The new cider location would be around a mile away from two cideries in Central 9th, including the Scion Cider Bar on Jefferson Street and Thieves Guild Cidery on 900 South. 

The new Mountain West location would also be within walking distance of other watering holes, including Kiitos Brewing and the Drift bar along 700 South, plus Melancholy and Level Crossing Brewing Company in the Post District.

A rapidly growing area, the Granary District is slated to add other food and beverage options in the near future, as a handful of restaurants will be a part of the Pickle & Hyde development along 400 West, just south of the Journeyman building.
