Tree House Brewing - September 2014

Ma, football and nachos!

 

How dare you enjoy that beer with football and nachos!

 

Those are some pretty weak ass looking nachos. No beer can enhance those.

 

ha! if you drink enough, all nachos are good. Chips and melted cheese... not Martha Stewart material, but it does the trick.

 

Sorry to the "nacho makers" but I have to agree with RKing44.... taking it to the next level post response wise, the football, Beer etc A+.... just need to up the culinary side a bit... maybe take a Nacho making class from MA or J !!!!
Cheers

 

On a budget, but had enough to buy Maine Brewing beer? More bang for your buck in a growler of Tree House, and fresher too. :-)

 

Had some MA yesterday and the nachos were just so-so and the Patriots lost. Feelin pretty mislead you guys.

 

SPECIAL NOTE ON HOURS NEXT WEEK The week of September 14th-20th we will be open WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, and FRIDAY from 5 - 8 PM and CLOSED on Saturday.

 

and congrats to Nate & Lauren for this closure May their happiness last forever

 

I may have to shift my Friday evening plans around a little.

"GOOD MORNING" - (Imperial Coffee Stout - 8.4%) - A project that began as Imperial Double Shot has matured into a distinct beer that is perhaps our most complex yet! Brewed with Monson’s own Maxwell Road Maple Grade A Dark Amber Maple syrup, Good Morning pours pitch black in the glass with a creamy mousse-like head. The bubbles give way to aromas of rich milk chocolate, cocoa powder, and dark amber maple syrup. The flavor starts as a blast of milk chocolate and sweet maple syrup, as deeper complexities are uncovered as it warms. The crew here at Tree House tastes “chocolate covered maple candy”, “vanilla”, “chocolate cake”, “brown sugar”, and “fresh roasted coffee”. A super decadent treat, Good Morning begs to be shared and contemplated! (750 ML - $11) ** 2 750 ML limit **

 

I'm a sucker for Coffee Stouts.

 

How crazy is treehouse on a regular saturday? I'm planning on making a long day trip up to hillfarmstead and then hitting treehouse on my way back for some fills, about how long would i have to wait say around 3-4pm? Does it really depend on what is on that day?

 

You're really going to have to book it to get to Tree House from Hill Farmstead on a Saturday. It's probably just under four hours worth of driving between the two without traffic. So while it's not impossible, unless you're out of Hill Farmstead very quickly after opening it's likely that you'd get to Tree House around 5 at best, or just before closing at 6. Essentially, if you're not leaving Hill Farmstead by 2, there's very little chance that you'd make it to Tree House before they wrap up for the day.

Having said that, if you can make it it's usually not a bad time to go. I went one Saturday at roughly 5:00 and there were only one or two other people there. Now, the reason for that is likely that there was only one beer on at that point because everything else had kicked either on Thursday or Friday and nothing new was ready to go on. So the long and short of it is that you'll likely do very little waiting if you make it to Tree House late on a Saturday, but there's also a chance that they won't have tons of options available since the demand means they always move through the beer pretty fast.

 

Ma could definitely be gone, but I bet you will get Green and Good Morning if you get there by 5:30ish, which isn't unreasonable depending on how fast you drive

 

Can any fellow BA's help with this question.... I know treehouse has a 5 bottle limit, but is that for the day or per trip through line? I.e. If you get 5 bottles on your first ticket, collect them, and then pay... Can you then submit another ticket for 1-5 bottles? I know other places like HF do this, but wasn't sure about tree house. Thanks in advance for any insight!

 

Per trip through the line.

 

Thats perfect thank you, i would plan on getting to HF early so i can get out earlier, then swing by tree house on my way home.

 

Cool. Thx!
