Local Libations Tent: Hardball Cider



Knock one out of the park at your holiday picnic - offer your guests a cold, crisp, bottle of hard cider.

Hardball offers a full-flavored assortment of refreshing hard ciders that have just the right amount of flavor and fizz. Not to mention the cool names like Fastball, Curveball, Slider, and Change-up.

And in keeping with the baseball theme, we'll be giving away some Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs tickets this weekend!
