Balderdash definition: a muddled mixture of liquors.

Balderdash is a combination of our traditional homebrew festival along with our Cherry Bounce festival. This merger, though muddled, provides the visitor with an entertaining opportunity to sample homebrews created by amateur and aspiring brewers and unique variations of historic cherry bounce created by local cherry bounce fans. One single $25 ticket allows guests to sample and vote for Best Homebrew AND Best Cherry Bounce.
During the festival tradesmen will be demonstrating traditional colonial crafts like woodworking, blacksmithing, hearth cooking and coopering. Live music will be provided by Stone House Breakdown and North Mountain Ramblers. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be available for sale and our gift shop will be open.
Over 21 only. No dogs, please!
