Tree House Brewing Co. (September 2015)

I'm hoping for next week!

 

They were just like the Julius cans, but green. Looked really slick.

 

First time can buyer of these two.... Drink now or do folks like them a week or two after canning? Thought I read digiNate posting something like that.

Either way, thanks TH!!!

 

This was what Nate said:

I wouldn't wait on drinking them, maybe you prefer how it tastes in a week but you won't know unless you have some now and and some later.

 

^nice find. You will notice a difference if you drink a treehouse beer within a few hours of canning vs. 2-3 days old. I would recomend cracking at least one as soon as possible. It is not very common, for non homebrewers at least, to be able to enjoy a beer when it is super green, and it is pretty cool to taste the difference.

 

I find that the Eureka variants drop off pretty hard after ~3weeks. When fresh, they can be incredibly juicy and tropical. I've had a 2 month old Double Shot growler and it was well carbonated and tasted great. The only change, as others have noted, is the coffee fades a bit. I've got a TWSS can in the back of the fridge -- looking forward to see if/how that changes after a month or two.

 

I find that cans are incredibly empty after about 5-6 days max

 

First trip out there today at the new facility, if I get there around 4:00ish, how long would the average wait be after opening at 5?

 

I would say you'll be walking out of there around 545-6ish.

 

added for today...

AVAILABLE IN CANS!
EUREKA w/CITRA (American Blonde Ale - 4.1%) - Our Jam! Eureka w/Citra explodes with citrus fruit, pineapple, and jackfruit on the nose and the palate, and finishes cleanly with light bits of cracker malt. Someone forgot to tell it that it's only 4.1% alcohol. A beautiful and potent, yet delicate and highly drinkable little beer. $3 / can - Limit 6 cans PP | ~ 200 cases available

 

Anniversary implies something annual to me, but I didn't speak with anyone either. It was a theory only

 

Word, and I'd love to see it again, it was absolutely killer. As I was about to leave Damien said, "who knows, maybe next years will be even better." At first I was like "I don't know, this one seemed perfect" before quickly coming to my senses with "what the hell am I talking about, you guys are Tree House!"

 

I like to dream that the name means it will be perpetually available.

 

How's the line look out there today?

 

Alter Cans available tomorrow from 12-6. 4 cans per person.

 

Hopefully there will me more cans for tomorrow. I can't justify the drive for just 4 cans of Alter Ego, especially since I have 4 cans in the fridge from last week. I need some GREEN!!!

 

A Green/Sap one two punch would make me leave work with the tires smoking.

 

I doubt that they would open for just 4 cans pp. We'll see tomorrow!

Also, regarding Sap, somebody asked the question (not sure where), and the answer was they were waiting for a certain hop to be harvested this year. Simcoe maybe ?

 

I agree and from this post: @TreeHouseBrewCo: Packaging fresh Alter Ego! Love this beer. . . Open tomorrow, 9.30.15 for can sales only from 12-6 PM. . . More cans to come.
I think it is safe to assume more cans for tomorrow. My guess would be a 400+ case count of green. And ya, i think you are right about sap.

 

Signs are pointing in the direction of Green for sure. Should be a fun day regardless.
