The Bale Breaker & Yonder Taproom

It's fine. There is a huge selection of beer and cider and the employees are nice enough. The sweetest cider was too sour for me. Lots of unevenly heated options on the patio and in the cold tent. No food, which is a bummer and they only had one food truck that was out of sausage by 4:30 and everything else except pulled pork by 5pm. I think a larger variety of food options would have made me happier. I got coleslaw and pulled pork and ended up spending $30.It's SO LOUD HERE. There's a remarkable amount of dogs at this place, and they are allowed everywhere onsite, inside and out, which means you're going to hear a lot of yelping and see uncontrolled canines. Kids are allowed everywhere as well so there are plenty of them as well. Without nonalcoholic beverages or food, kids get grumpy

Such a cool place! Lots of seating options and a really nice outdoor area to hang out in. We came to try the cider options and a few of us tried flights. They also had ginger beer and root beer for non alcoholic options.I loved my flight, as did everyone in my group who got one! There was not one bad cider. None of the options I tried were too sweet and all of them had nice flavor profiles. Definitely would highly recommend stopping here if you're a cider fan. There was a food truck stationed right outside if you needed something to eat, as well as a gourmet ice cream cart. Dog and kid friendly. I'd definitely come back!

So many environments to meet and drink in! I wish I remembered to take photos but before I visited I only saw a an indoor and outdoor section but there was so much more! My friends and I got a private room in the back for our last-minute birthday celebration, and a good thing too - There were at least two other birthday groups there, also with balloons and cake! The beer and cider options seemed endless and the pourers were generous with their knowledge, suggestions, and tastings. There was a BBQ food truck the Saturday we were there and sounded like something is always being served out front. Looking forward to visiting again very soon!

Came to Bale Breaker as a second stop on a bit of a brew crawl crossing it off the list. Good crowd with some decent choices on the menu. The history of Bale Breaker is a family-owned brewery out of Yakima sharing the same space is Yonder Cider which makes it's apples in Wenatchee.I think this is a pretty cool combo where you have double the choices where usually there may be only a handful of choices for either of the beverages. I've had yonder from can purchases elsewhere but not draft so perhaps on another visit I'll try that; this visit was strictly a beer try out.I sampled a few of the beers tried the bottom and topcutters which each brought their own levels and hints of piney, floral, bitterness. I settled on the Weed Garden which had the aroma to match the prior samples but also a fruity slight pineapple taste.Will be back to try more at Bale Breaker + Yonder.

How have I lived on the edge of Frelard for a decade and not known about this place?! What a gem! I got a Mazama cider and read out by a brazier on a cool spring evening. Perfection :)

First time coming here and loved it! So much seating outside and inside. Spacious for kids and pets, a wide variety of beers, ciders and seltzers even. I loved the little merch shop up front to and the photo booth! The layout makes so much more sense than the old brewery that used to be here. Will be back for sure.

Out of the ashes of Populuxe brewing came Bale Breaker and Yonder. I always thought the place had so much potential and BB came in and took advantage of that. They're selection of beers and ciders are tough to beat. This place always has a food truck and is super dog friendly. On even a semi decent days the patio will be full of people which is a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for.

Came here on a beautiful sunny day in January and had a wonderful time! Great beer and cider options. They also had hot cider which was delicious! The outdoor space is large with several fire pits that kept us cozy when the sun started getting low. There was also a tent set up outside with heaters inside. No food at the actual brewery but food truck posted up outside and they have no issues with you bringing food in.We brought our baby and saw many other people with kids as well as pets. Will definitely be back!

Wow this place is massive. Just descended upon it with 10 people on a Saturday and it was super busy. Luckily it is huge so we snagged a spot. The beer is great and so is the cider. I would say it has the best cider selection in the city.

A very interesting concept. A brewpub and a cidery right next to each other, with a large open air courtyard in between. We each ordered a flight of beers/ciders to start our late afternoon pub crawl. It was a hopping place with a lot of families, kids and babies.
