Mountain West Cider (Craft Beer & Brewery in Salt Lake City UT)

Mountain West Cider bursts onto Utah’s drinking scene from a Salt Lake City base that feels more like a laboratory of fun than a solemn brewery. In 2023 they scooped up a string of awards, proof that their blend of tradition and outright imagination isn’t just a marketing gimmick. The standout Tropical Crush Hard Cider delivers a splash of summer in every can, while the limited‑release Little Orchard Series whispers local legends with each pour—proof that a cider can be as narrative as it is refreshing.

The operation is as open‑hearted as it is open‑view: you can watch the craftspersons at work while a dog‑friendly patio buzzes with live music and patrons who are greeted instantly by staff who actually seem to enjoy their job. The menu is a well‑balanced parade of flavours, from crisp apples to adventurous blends, making it hard to pick a favourite (if you’re lucky enough to try them all). In short, Mountain West Cider doesn’t just serve drinks; it curates gatherings, celebrates community, and keeps the whole experience delightfully honest and impeccably crafted.
