Fellow brewers, Balderdash is a fun one! Be sure to show off what you’ve been brewing and have a blast doing it! 🍻 Still openings available - but don’t wait! 🍻
Balderdash isn't just a funny word... it's one of our favorite days of the year!
This year's Balderdash combines our traditional Homebrew Festival with our annual Cherry Bounce Festival for an afternoon celebrating historic beverages, colonial crafts, live music, and friendly competition.
With one ticket, you'll be able to sample homebrews created by amateur and aspiring brewers, taste historic cherry bounce recipes crafted by local enthusiasts, and vote for your favorites in both People's Choice competitions.
Add in demonstrations of traditional colonial crafts like woodworking, blacksmithing, hearth cooking, and coopering, and you've got an afternoon that's as entertaining as it is unique.
📅 Saturday, September 12
🕐 1:00-5:00 p.m.
📍 Dill's Tavern
🎟️ Tickets are available now for contestants and attendees. Register or grab your ticket today at: northernyorkhistorical.org/events/balderdash.
