Tree House Brewing Company (May 2017)

Not only that, you've got smaller cites in Worcester, Springfield, and Hartford nearby and I've talked to a few people that make the trip from NYC area or Albany area as well. Not hard at all to think 2k people can show up in the afternoon during the week.

 

As I'm off work today, I'm very tempted to make the trek....

 

Should last most of the night so i'd go for it.

 

Be careful if you're heading out there, weather radar looking like central MA is going to get whomped with rain coming up from NY/NJ.

 

I'll need to eat before 7
And I don't want to eat at the stadium so I'll pick up something on the way home

 

Oops, that was supposed to be a text above , mods can erase it

 

Just got back from Treehouse today and the line wasn't even 10 minutes long. The weather must be keeping people home.

 

Limits raised to 6+4+4. I like this trend.

 

Looks like they are setting things up for a full pour day tomorrow. Too bad the weather forecast is "hit or miss".

 

Blending 2 of your posts, the easy availability of Trillium has been what made me realize I like the standard offerings better. To my taste the regular Streets are better than the DDH streets.

It's hard not to think something is better when it's hard to get, and it's magnified when it's an especially hard to get beer from a hard to get brewery.

2 of my top 5 favorite Tree House beers are probably 2 of their 5 least demanded (Sap, Bright). I look forward to higher output killing the hype so I can go and get beer whenever I want. As long as I can get the "core" beers I really don't care if people are lining up 197 hours in advance to buy Good King Jjjjjulllliuuusss morning. Let me walk in and out in 5 minutes with a case this month, next month and three months from now, as long as it's got Julius, Haze, Green and Bright, Eureka, Sap, Bear, Ma, Doppelganger and Old Man family on some sort of rotation, if there's an occasional "Very" then great, if not then maybe next time.

 

I freaking love Sap. I don't get why it's not more hyped. I'm really hoping they have something like Trillium, where there's always a handful of the core beers available, and every couple of weeks they have something special (like we had recently with Galaxy Cutting Tiles and the two sour releases).

 

Decided to stay home and hit my local brew house with a few friends instead....also, I'll be heading out on the 31st with a couple of coworkers , so I can wait till then.

 

When I first started going to Tree House I definitely experienced FOMO, but as I've experienced more and more beers (plus some NEIPA fatigue) I've stopped caring about chasing releases, and started appreciating drinking the easily available beers I like. I'll make the trek out if it's convenient and I won't trade the house for a can. Unless that can is Green.

 

Any word or guess when Charlton opens? Pre or post July 4?

 

Word

 

I'll take the over.

 

Heard from an employee that they were thinking August based on what they heard

 

Anyone know which bottles are available on site today?

 

Native Five per the Twitter.

 

First of all, Trillium still has long wait times now and then from my experience, especially if it's the first day of a sought-after release or right when they open. The morning that TrillBomb dropped the line was pretty damn long, waited there for about 30-45 minutes. Secondly, Tree House will taste just as good once it is more accessible. I tried Doubleganger on the very first release before I knew it would be such a sought-after beer ranked as highly as KJ and JM, yet I still thought it was spectacular. Also, the first time I tried TH I had Bear and I was not impressed with that beer at all, even with all the hype surrounding TH.

So the hype is definitely a factor, but honestly TH beers are just that good. They deserve the hype. Anyone that tells you TH is "overhyped" or "just hype" is just being a dick about their personal opinion on (most likely) 1 or 2 TH brews they have tried.
