    so im planning a mad dash into Mass tomorrow. Id like to get to trillium, jacks abby, and tree house at the very least. Night shift would be a plus but not a neccesity.
    Judging by opening times my route would be trillium in canton at opening, on to jacks abby and then to tree house.
    What time do i need to be at tree house to ensure best allotment and growler fills?
    also is there a bottle shop somewhere close to jacks abby and/or tree house where i can get a good selection of night shift stuff?

    thanks in advance for all the help.

    and to all those who will say "just read thread x, x, and x for more info", i wish i could but this trip is kinda last minute

    Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge for Night Shift on the way to TH. As for TH, it really depends on what they have available. You may have cans left over from today + another canning tomorrow. Can line will be long at open, but chill out after an hour or so (most likely). Growlers will be 45 mins+ and you can probably only fill 3 bottles. Also, if u want a bangin food and Hill Farmstead on draft, hit Armsby Abbey in Worcester or BTs BBQ is right down the road from Yankee Spirits and is BYOB.

    Craft Beer Cellar in Framingham should have Night Shift as well. Not sure if they sell out of their allotments quickly so it might be worth a phone call as you leave Jack's Abby

    Jack's Abby is readily available in nearly any store in Mass or CT (and actually limited in NY, too ... depending on where you are) so unless you are really seeking out something they have on tap at the taproom ... I would consider shifting that to a store so you only have two breweries to worry about timing right.

    Seconded. On the other hand, it's the nicest brewery visit of the three. Julio's in Westboro is another option for a retail store, best selection in the state in my opinion.

    true, but ive heard great things about the taproom, and i want some of the beers that are brewery only.
    that, and it seems like the only brewery that makes sense in the area.
    im definitely open to other breweries if you have any ideas

    A castle island brewing stop after Trill in Canton, would be good if you have the time for some samples and cans.
