Tree House Brewing Co. (January 2016)

If there was another batch, it'd likely be on the Friday of EBF. At least that's what happened last year.

 

I don't think a can of any TH beers would ever last more than 2 weeks in my fridge... Not too sure he should worry about people trying to age their beers. How often do they release a beer with an ABV high enough to cellar anyway.

 

I'm planning on visiting Treehouse this Saturday. What time is a good time to get there in the morning and is there usually a line on Saturday mornings?

 

There's no telling what they will have or what will even be left. Sometimes on Saturday they only have a single beer left for growler fills and other times they have a few cans left and growlers. There's a line every day. I would suggest being there for opening or a little earlier.

 

I'm tempted to make my first trip tomorrow for cans. Waiting to see what they will have. When should I know?

 

If recent canning runs hold true to form, you'll know one later today and one tomorrow morning before they open. Tree House is good about updating it's website and Twitter as cans are packaged.

Forgot about EBF. The week of EBF is going to be a mess at Tree House, no reason to add fuel to the fire with Good Morning. For all the locals, here's hoping they release it this week .

 

I am also thinking of making my first trip tomorrow.

 

As stated above, you'll know what your getting before you go. There is also no reason to get there before opening, even pretty rare stuff has lasted at least all day Wednesday.

 

It seems to me that they are settling into a semi-regular schedule, at least before blowing it up the past couple weeks with special stuff. It seemed to be Julius and Green to start the week, with other runs after. Then the next week would be 2 other staple IPAs (Haze, AE, LO etc).

So we thought what better day to package around 500 cases of Green? Available tomorrow, 8 cans PP!

 

Nice! That pretty much seals the deal.

 

Ah, Green. My single favorite beer in the world, and amazing every time. We shall see each other soon, friend.

 

How long is the wait on a Wednesday in January for just cans? Can't be nearly as long as for growler fills.

 

Unless you are getting fills of some limited beer (Thu, Fri, Sat) there is really no reason to get their that early. Wednesdays have seemed to be quick because it's usually cans of their staple beers and because they are such big batches (Green, Julius, etc.). There will always be some kind of line before opening because everyone wants to get their hands on some TH brews. Waiting 3 hours in line will almost always take more of your time all together than getting there say 30 mins early and waiting an hour or so to get your beer. That being said... all bets are off is something special is available, then I can see getting there earlier so you don't wait infinite hours for your beer.

 

But is the wait every 3 hours once the place opens? Because otherwise you're still waiting longer. Especially on a Wednesday when it's can-only - does the wait ever really go past an hour? Plus on Wednesdays you aren't dealing with beers in short supply because it's new canning runs.

Showing up super early on Wednesdays doesn't seem to make any sense unless you absolutely have to be out of there right after open because you have something else to do.

 

I am very confused when I see people line up way before open on Wednesday. Almost every week if you show up any time other than open on a can day you can walk right in.

 

Don't worry about Wednesdays... you can show up at 1PM or later and get your beers with little wait. The canning runs early in the week are large, such as Green announced today at 500 cases. Thursdays and Fridays you may want to get there as early as you can tolerate to get fills and cans before some beers might run out and can limits lower.

 

I think the later in the afternoon the better. The last two times I arrived around 1-2 and waited 30 mins in line.
