"If your idea of being festive is breathing cold air and that's where your enthusiasm slams on the brakes, that'll fly at the Ballard tasting room that Bale Breaker and Yonder Cider share. There's no elf-on-the-shelf yuletide sh*t happening here—just some A-frame structures, fire pits, and the occasional plastic igloo. Sip some warm cider and feel schadenfreude for the people still waiting at Rob Roy." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
