Tree House Brewing Company (August 2017)

Haven't gone for myself since the end of March. I'm hoping it's not Julius, Green, Haze, Ego, Eureka, Lights On, Doppelganger, or Sap.

I'm 100% complaining about my gold not weighing enough but ... it's been a steady stream of 8 beers on rotation with only Curiosities being the best thing to come out as a special release nowadays.

Would it kill TH to do a 1 bottle Native release or Ma or just re-release an extremely liked old Curiosity like 27, 32, 35 under a new name? Or a new spin on a past experiment like Trail Magic or Awesome Autumn Ale?

I'm just sick of watching the same 8 beers go on spin cycle. Then again this was because they were moving so ... I understand their position.

 

Awesome idea. At all of these hyped breweries, the most extreme behavior is rewarded, time to stop that as you say extreme behavior also comes with shitty behavior. Breweries need to find a middle ground to make their products available to the average guy who won't sleep on a sidewalk and just wants to buy beer.

And anyone circling an area waiting for a place to open really needs to get a life.

 

You realize that a beer being put into a "new can" is special, or releases like Tornado or Old Man ... "very fun" = could be anything.

And that's the cool thing with TH and special offerings ... you never know. Which is why I will be waiting at my desk at work hawking FB updates hahaha.

 

While this is one potential solution, it's certainly not the only solution. You seem personally hurt by their actions (or inactions, as you suggest).

Their publicly stated solution is to simply brew more beer and set limits such that everyone that enters the building on any given day will walk out with some beer. Sure, it'll take time to do this... but your solution would arguably take longer - "condition" people into not lining up until exactly 12:59 or whatever the hours are that day. Then the next day it's 12:58, then 12:57, until it's right back to the way it is now... because at least if you're 150th in line and have to move back to 300, you're still going to likely get the same allotment, which may run out at #500.

Tree House isn't the problem. But I'm glad you have the situation under control... next step, open your own world-class brewery raking in over $1m per month in sales and fight off your own crowds with your deli counter

i have a Cadillac and a Poodle... you're welcome.

 

I back him for working hard and getting to the position he is in.

I believe he was pointing out the fact that people can get in there that work all kinds of jobs and schedules.

 

Special could also mean they are getting the "band back together" to play in the pavilion.

 

I'm not personally hurt by anything. I just dislike cowardice towards changing an identified problem. Also my solution would be quick. 2 days into it it would be all over beer sites and social media. Verify that this is how it is going to be going forward. People stop showing up early. You aren't conditioning them, you are stripping away the incentive to get there early instantly.

Also enough with the 'start your own brewery' shit you Daniel Lanigan wannabe. TH can't even figure this shit out and only have the experience of getting to this point. They have zero knowledge past this. I'll start my own brewery when you stop rump swabbing Nate and Co. and projecting that they know things they don't.

 

I'm not going to pretend to have a solution that would work for all parties, but I know I don't like the early crowd not respecting the hours, especially when Dean pleads with the crowd to not show up early. It's disrespectful, in my opinion. And to make matters worse, the offenders know that TH doesn't exactly rule with an iron fist when people don't follow the rules.

 

Lights On. And the spin cycle continues.

12 can limit + 4 Sap is extremely weird wording though. Very what?

 

This is America, I will swab any goddamned rump I please. I will swab it until it's raw.

And who in the fuck is Dan Lanigan?

...Don't even bother answering that. I dgaf. Just use the energy to stroke that beautiful ego of yours a few more times.

 

Maybe Wednesdays are just not the best days for cans anymore.

 

What about that wording is weird?

 

I've only been to Tree House one time at the Monson location in June, but I was relieved to see that 100% of the staff was upbeat, kind, respectful, gracious, and in general, really damn happy.

That's it. I just thought this thread could use a post like this.

 

I'm guessing it has been asked and answered already, but has anyone used their FitBit/Apple Watch/phone/whatever to see what the walk distance from the lower lots to the upper lot is? I've yet to have to park down there, and I never think to look at the odometer when I'm in the car...

 

I'm not in this debate, but god do I hate this "argument". Sweatshirt employs a certain elegance I can't ever hope to touch, but I will say that I wish I could strangle every person that says "open ur own brewery" whenever somebody even so much as lightly criticizes another brewer's beer, logistics, or taste in footwear. Just because a brewery is popular and making lots of money doesn't mean they're infallible and can't do things better.

 

Usually it will say "X cans pp" or "Today's availability here" or They will literally tell you the cans like previous "9 Haze, 3 Sap, 2 Julius cans pp"

This one is super cryptic. Doesn't say 12 Lights On. Says 12 can limit + 4 sap. Whatever that means ... my guess is they silent release.

 

I might be wrong, but it seems pretty clear to me that it's 12 cans of Lights On + 4 Sap.

 

I think it might be a hint that Lights On is available in cans now

 

Nowhere does it say Lights On is 12 cans pp. All it says is Lights On is today. There is a limit of 12 cans. 4 cans of Sap pp.
