FLINT, MI -- A new hard cider company is coming to mid-Michigan, just north of downtown Flint.

Flint City Hard Cider Co., an urban cider house that will create "off-the-wall" ciders and meads, met its KickStarter goal of $30,000 with 96 backers Friday afternoon, July 8, with just a day left in the campaign. The funds raised will help offset the cost of the newly purchased building and its repairs, said Charlie Burt, general manager and cider maker.

It's located at 610 Martin Luther King Avenue, across the street from Soggy Bottom Bar and The Local Grocer.

"We're definitely excited about the location. We are excited to be kind of on the front lines of expansion of downtown Flint, and getting this area on Martin Luther King revamped is something we really are looking forward to doing," Burt said.

Burt and his crew are already working to secure food and wine licenses and to renovate the building – which was most recently used as a barber shop and years ago was a store called Jag the Haberdasher. The plan for the 8,000-square-foot building is to have a full-scale production facility and 50-person tap room, complete with a stage for live music.
