Bushel & Barrel Ciderhouse

Went to the 3rd annual Soggy Sasquatch Fest. Enjoyed good cider and some amazing chili! They had animals you could pet and feed. There was a chainsaw carving auction. Was hoping for a large wooden Sasquatch... but that's ok! Maybe next year! Staff was friendly and layout of everything was very cool. I will be coming back and recommend you as well! See you next time!

I know the term hidden gem gets used quite a bit, however Bushel and Barrel is 100% a hidden gem. Nestled in the outskirts of Poulsbo, on what I can only imagine was once a farm, Joel and Melissa have done an incredible job, of creating a welcoming space for anyone who likes cider to come and sit for a spell.Their flights are the best bet if you've never been, because there are so many interesting choices from blueberry acai to french toast to traditional apple. Ou favorite on the night we were there was the sangria cider. So yummy! There was live blues music which was a perfect compliment to the barn turned cidery. There's no food, but they did have a bbq food truck parked out front. So if you're hungry check before you go what the food situation is. They also have a huge back yard area complete with alpacas and sheep. On the night we were there the weather was not cooperating, but I can totally imagine enjoying a beautiful evening outside in the summer. Only down side to be aware of is the bathrooms are port a potties. But everything else is so wonderful I can overlook that.Worth the trip if you're looking for something different.

Such a wonderful discovery! I had no idea that this cidery even existed but thanks to Steve running a Google search he came across Bushel and Barrel and I'm so very glad he found it!The cider taproom is located on the outskirts of Poulsbo north going towards the Hood Canal. It's a really cute little acreage and the taproom itself is so very relaxing. There's plenty of seating outside too when it's nice out. Ciders are very unique in flavor options but it's all natural and no artificial sweetners are added. Some very memorable ciders was the Red Licorice cider and the Cotton Candy cider. There was a hot and spicy one and dry ones as well. Quite a unique variety. They also serve food here which is a nice bonus. Steve and I split two pretzel sticks which were very good! Plenty of other food options from that menu.Outside and in the back past most of the outside seating area there are goats and alpacas you can go over to look at so that is definitely an extra plus here because I do love these farm and semirural cideries and breweries so I can go make over the animals.

What a find. Family went there last Friday and enjoyed the band and cider. We had a flight of ciders ($15) where were able to choose from their 11 different kinds and then had a 16 oz ($7). What a fun place that we'll definitely go back to when near Poulsbo.

Best cider I have ever had. The owners and staff make you feel like family. We love open mic, Karaoke on Sat, and trivia on Sunday. The special events are fun and there are events for all. Bring the children this is a family place. Come out and feed the animals. They have food trucks and special dinners. Friday is live music and some of the best local musicians in this area. The Valentine's dinner was first class and so good. We love this place and the people who we have grown to know as family.

Off beat craft ciders and a seating area to sip and talk. Service was great. Bartender let us have tiny sampling pours of some flavors we have not seen at cider festivals before buying a couple squigglers to take home.

Bushel and barrel cider-house throws many events throughout the year. So far I went to its Soggy Sasquatch Festival in hope of finding a cool Sasquatch wood carving to take home. When we got there, there was plenty of parking behind the location, we got to walk by some cute take petting animals that included goats donkeys and a small sweet cow. They had quarter machines that gave out feed so you could feed the animals out of your hand. When we got to the cider house they had plenty of cool unique seating inside and tables outside all throughout the property. We ordered some food and a flight of cider to try. I ordered the tamales and they were delicious and came with rice and beans. The workers were all kind and excited to be there, very helpful talking about all the flavors of cider. After that we walked the perimeter of the property which was filled with more food, a cake-pop truck, homemade things for sale, and wood carvings and carvers. We had a lot of fun watch the competition of bidders bidding on wood carvings. Though we didn't win, it was still very entertaining. I do wish for it being a Sasquatch festival that they had more Sasquatch things there. We were hoping to plop down a big wooden Sasquatch in front of the house but that's ok! An experience we would like to do again next year!

We love it here. The cider is a bit more sweet than Finn river (so we can only usually do one each), but the vibe is great and family friendly. It's awesome to have a place close to home where we can meet with friends and let the kids play.

Wonderful laidback ambiance and delicious cider. Good selection of non alcoholic beverages as well.

Three stars for friendly staff and great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the cider was "off." Imagine drinking warm kool-aid with no sugar, that's the best way our party of three can describe the cider. It tasted flat and boring. There really was nothing that made one stand out over the other. We each tried all ciders offered, and agreed if we had to drink one the Raspberry Ginger was the better one. I really hope this place improves and look forward to giving it another try.
