    @DigitalNate has been known to make occasional comments when speculation is not correct on this monthly thread.



    Cans:


    This week's canning schedule, not guaranteed:

    + Tuesday

    + Wednesday

    + Thursday

    + Friday

    We are packaging into cans on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Cans become available the day they are packaged. Thanks!


    Pints:


    As we settle into our new brewery, the availability of pints will be sporadic (except for Tuesday and Saturday) and dependent on the crowd. If we are too busy it is not possible to maintain an enjoyable and efficient experience for takeaway beer and serve pints at the same time. Stay tuned to Twitter to learn if and when pours are available.


    Growlers:


    While we transition to the new brewery, growler fills are temporary on hold. Fear not - they will be back. They are a huge part of what makes us Tree House.

    New Glass 750 ML - $5 | 2L - $6


    Parking:


    REGARDING PARKING ON VERY BUSY DAYS, PLEASE HEED THE GUIDANCE OF OUR PARKING STAFF. ALSO, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE PROPERTY. THANK YOU!


    Line:


    There is just one line, the can line! You may order growlers (not available at this time) from the can line, when they become available at the new brewery. Our staff will assist you by handing out and collecting order cards for growlers while you wait for cans.

    ABSOLUTELY no drinking in the line or on the outside grounds!


    If you have to smoke, please step out far enough from the line so other people don't have to inhale your smoke. Thank you.

    We make every effort to keep limits the same, and this is indeed the case 95% of the time. On rare occasions when we believe it will be beneficial to visitors, we will lower limits to spread the love around a bit.

    ALL LIMITS POSTED ARE PER PERSON, PER DAY. No SECOND TRIPS THROUGH THE LINE during the same day even if they add new cans later in the day.

    ALL WHO PURCHASE BEER AT TREE HOUSE MUST PRESENT A VALID AND CURRENT PHOTO ID, NO EXCEPTIONS.


    BYOB:

    The beer you purchase at Tree House can be enjoyed at Westview Creamery on East Hill Road, and at BT's Smokehouse in Sturbridge.


    Nearby Bottle Shop:

    Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge, is the closest. It's close to BT's Smokehouse.

    Historical information on can/bottle releases:

    Awesome Tree House can release spreadsheet done by @BeerTraveler33.

    In his own words:

    Feel free to remind me, @BeerTraveler33, to update this as I usually only update the file on my work PC and I forget to update the google doc.

    He asks if anybody has any suggestions for his spreadsheet to write to him.

    This is the spreadsheet that you seen cropped, cut, and pasted on posts. Full credit should be given to @BeerTraveler33 for creating and maintaining it.


    A new spreadsheet link is below and was created (and maintained) by @jimmyfausto. Great job too.

    Dogs / Kids:


    Children, dogs and families are always welcome at Tree House


    Good Morning:

    This has come up several times in past months. According to @DigitalNate, Good Morning has not been retired.

    However all beers, including Good Morning, on this BA site that are listed as "limited" or in this case "rotating" and have not been released again eventually gets moved to the "archived" list, if not re-released over a period of time (forgot how long). It has nothing to do with whether or not it will actually be brewed again despite the red "This beer is retired; no longer brewed." which is added automatically by the site. This line sometimes confuses people but disappears when the beer is moved back to the "current" list.


    Shuttle bus:


    If you find yourself parked in the lower lot, we now provide shuttle service that runs thru every 5 minutes or so...now you don't have to exercise to get up that hill (although some of us could use the workout). :stuck_out_tongue:

    Three posts in and no bitching... can someone fix this please? Surely Tree House has committed some atrocity in the past 12 hours.

    Tree House stole my girlfriend.


    In all seriousness, looking forward to visiting some time this month to pick up a case for an early June wedding. It's been a couple months since I've been!

    Sorry to be that guy, but making my first trip to Charlton this Friday and looking for some tips on what time is best to arrive. I know everything pretty much lasts now, but I'd like to ensure getting everything they start the day with.

    The 2 times I went to Monson, I walked away with 4 and 6 total cans, so needless to say I'm really looking forward to being able to finally stock up (even though its not as good anymore :wink:).

    The only thing you could miss out on is leftover cans from days prior. Since we don’t know what case counts look like yet you really can’t make a good plan until Thursday. Ultimately if you want a guaranteed shot at everything get there for open

    Everyone's thoughts on KJ? I thought VH crushed it.

    For me it was VG > VH > KJ but I've always preferred Green to Haze. VH was pretty damn good though. I thought KJ was almost identical to regular Julius and I was underwhelmed. I remember liking the last KJ more than this KJ for whatever that's worth.

    I’m in the same boat, so thanks for the info! Flying in to Boston then driving north to Hanover, VT for a bachelor party. Trying to see if a TH detour makes sense, or if I should just stick to Trillium.

    Is TH open at Noon on Friday? They have two different times listed on their website (one says noon, one says 2p). Do you need to line up early?

    To ask another way, if I hit up Trillium at open (11a), jump in the car and go to TH (arriving at 12:30 or 1), what sort of wait would be typical? And would I be missing out on anything exciting that may be announced that day?

    Thanks for your wisdom - gladly will return the favor if you ever visit Chi-town!

    Tough to say as it only really depends on what cans are available then, but it's safe to plan for a Treehouse trip to take at least ~1hr from parking to getting back to your car.

    I'll be in Boston (Waltham, actually) for work next Tuesday-Thursday. I'm debating renting a car and making the drive out to Tree House on Tuesday (that's the only day I'd be able to make it).

    Seems like the Tuesday hours are new. Does that tend to be a lower day?

    Used to be, now they’re announcing releases Tuesday morning. If you’re lucky it’ll be a regular release and it won’t be that bad. However, one whiff of a whale and it’s shed town
