Tree House Brewing Company (August 2016)

They said it will be open next summer hopefully so May is probably too early.

 

@DigitalNate Your crew does an amazing job getting people in & out on Wednesdays. Props to you and the crew! Looking forward to enjoying a full pour and marveling at your new site.

I'm thinking I want to be in and out at 12 PM tomorrow. Any idea what time the line starts forming? 10? 11? earlier?

I've only been there a few times and have shown up right at 12 PM to a healthy line, that does move pretty quickly. In & out in just a bit over 1 hour including parking.

 

Typically the first in line is here around 10 on Wednesday and the line really picks up steam around 10:45-11 AM. Really never sure what to expect but my best guess is that if you are here by 11 you will be out by 12.

 

What time is "too early" to show up on a Saturday? I'm looking to make my maiden voyage on this weekend in hopes of scoring some cans and growlers to take to Florida* with me but I don't want to get there offensively early and piss people off.

*you better believe I'm planning on drinking a Tree House beer in the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House.

 

I would get there around 7-730 just to be safe. No one will mind if you are there early, very chill crowd.

 

Oh. I was figuring on arriving around 9:00 (it's a 3 hour drive). Guess I better set that alarm clock for even earlier.

 

If my memory is correct I got to Tree House around 9AM on Saturday, July 23rd and was ticket #34 for growler fills. I had my beers and was on the road again around 11:15. If "Very" anything is available or if there are limited quantities then earlier could be better.

 

Nate - I appreciate your connection to the community. It's one of the things that sets you apart from other breweries. Thanks for the info, see you tomorrow!

Bright & delicious rolling today!! 6 cans PP + 6 PP Green. 1,000 total cases available.

 

It's been said, but generally they don't sell out of Thursday's cans the day of. Generally pretty chill after 6pm too, but you might have a 30-60 minute wait for growlers.

Will you be headed towards Boston/Trillium afterwards, or on your way out of New England?

 

My buddy and I got together for a beer-cation over this past weekend and pooled some Tree House and Trillium together. I noticed that on both the Julius and Fort Point cans we had (each dated 7/19/2016), the Easter eggs on the bottoms read "Ermahgerd, Jerlius" and "Ermahgerd, Fert Pert." There was obviously coordination there... glad to see the two best breweries in the state (IMO) enjoy each other's company! Very awesome!

P.S., the Ermahgerd meme is hilarious.

 

Have to thank the TH crew for letting us poor water soaked sponges in a bit early today (as usual with a smile) to grab some rather Outstanding beer!!!....Bright and Green are tasting fantastic....
Thank You

 

Yep, heading to Boston for CBC.

 

Have to second Shaymus here. 1st time visitor today, got there around 11:10 and was drenched and happy to see the line moving. Great experience today and great beer, thanks again!

 

I read through this thread and last month's and it seems like lines are long at open on Saturday and beer has been selling out around 3ish on Saturdays. My question (and apologies if this was covered but I missed it) is whether there is any time on Saturday where there is a bit of a lull with a shorter wait for fills? We'll be in that general area on Saturday but won't be there until late morning/early afternoon, so if there's a time to stop by that stands a better chance of shorter lines, I'm all for that. Thank you!

 

After the rush it slows down (maybe 1ish?), but what's available varies drastically. They've been making efforts to have more beer for Saturdays, but the early rush can easily wipe out any cans and kick the more popular fills. Follow Twitter.

 

Cool, that's exactly what I was looking for. I do keep an eye on their Twitter and will be checking it as our day progresses. Thanks again!

 

Haze 8pp, Bright 20 cases left 2pp

 

I don't want to shoot myself in the foot here but with 'production' bumps in the past 3-4 weeks running out of beer entirely on a Saturday seems less likely. After 2 PM it has generally been mellow and easy for growlers.

 

Even better, thank you! After being spoiled last year with regular meetings in Springfield for a few months in a row with a chance to stop at Tree House on the way home to Boston, I haven't been in far too long, so my wife and I are really looking forward to another visit this weekend.
