Tree House Brewing Co. (October 2015)

Making a visit on Saturday. Previously only done Thursdays. I've read that Saturday can be more relaxed than Thursday. Would a 10am arrival time be enough to be within the first 20-30 folks in line? Normally I'd have no issue with showing up very early and just talking beer with the regulars but I have a corn Maze in Sunderland to run through. Also with 4 canning runs this week (have they ever done that many?), should I assume all 4 will make it to Saturday (with relaxed limits obviously)? Any input is welcomed. Thanks, folks.

 

depends on the lineup for everything. I'd guess probably not for all 4 cans unless they don't sleep canning lol. but you never know. you'll stand a pretty good shot of 2 or 3 I'd think.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Lights On makes it through the weekend especially with 400+ cases available. If I were you, I'd check what remains after Friday night and if there's a lot I would go Saturday afternoon if you can because there's usually not many people there. I went about a month ago, albeit it was during the Brimfield Antique fair, and I was in and out in 5-10 minutes with a case cans AND 4 or 5 growlers.

 

Green, six cans PP

 

I got there at about 10:15 this past Saturday and was growler ticket 47, maybe 60th in line total. I was in my car at 11:45.

 

12pp on Lights On is a lot. 6 pp on Green is decent, its 4pp a lot of the time. 18 total is a pretty good total.

 

I think they are treating Green similar to Julius, trying to have it available for everyone that makes the trip on Wed/Thurs/Fri and some people Saturday.

 

Nice. Looks like I picked a good Saturday to make a pit stop on the way to CT! I'd really like to try the Julius, but I'll take whatever they'll let me buy. Hopefully the line isn't too brutal.

 

I arrived at about 1215 and the line was 15 deep out the door. Quick, though.

 

In and out in not even 2 minutes. Paying for it took the longest time.

 

I wish Green was 8pp. I would have landed two more!

 

Any chance green & lights on make it to Saturday morning? Along with these 2 mystery lines? I'm planning on going Saturday morning at open. Only want to buy cans. What time should I get there?

 

In and out in two minutes once again.

 

I tell people if you want guaranteed cans you should be there at open. Friday night or Saturday morning check what is left on the on-tap page, that will tell you how many cases are left and what the limits will be. Multiply the cases by 24, divide by the limit and that will give you the number of people getting cans. Give yourself a safe estimate of 100 people at opening.

 

Was already planning to be there at open, maybe even an hr before.

 

I just never go to these lengths for beer. But I just decided to make an exception this Saturday since I finally have some free time on my hands.

 

But that does make sense.

 

Going Friday night - any speculations what the other can run might be? Sap?
