Tree House (2021)

Haven't been to Tree House in a long while but the 5/28 batch of Julius is fire. Then again I haven't had it in months.

 

Digging the cold brew cans; surprisingly loving the n/a seltzer which is priced close enough to Spindrift to be worth it; very satisfied with Free to Roam, and if I'm going to bother buying DIPAs anymore well goddamn I might as well buy Juice Machine because that shit is good.

 

Looks like pours are back on. They're selling tickets on their site now.

 

I just saw that - that's awesome.

 

Great news!

 

They didn't mention anything about picking up beer being different. Guessing still curbside pick up but you can park and get pours?? Kind of hard when the line goes through all the lots.

 

A classic Tree House mystery.

 

Went by the Sandwich location this weekend since we're in the neighborhood. Pretty low key. Glad to see they were turning people away who were trying to pickup their order hours before their pickup time. Also added a "I'm Here" option on the order email when you were in the lot.

 

Can’t wait to visit!

 

Sounds like curbside pick up is gone. Back to waiting in line apparently.

 

They were verified a year ago - just hadn't updated the menu since March 20 last year.

 

From Facebook Group:
Currently no line.
Park your car. Walk up to employees on sidewalk. They take order number. You go get pours and when done drinking your cans are ready to go. Masks optional.

I'll defend them on a lot of things, but making these massive changes (especially during this transition period when no one knows which business has what policy) without any notifications or announcement to the customer base is inexcusable.

Things would go so much smoother if they would just let people know what to expect when they arrive.

 

They probably have to work out some kinks that can only be worked out in real time and don’t want to claim victory over the process.

 

it’s basically like a soft reopening. They purposely didn’t say anything to keep crowds down and try a new way of operation after a year and a half closed to pours. They don’t owe anyone anything. There is nothing Nate and company does that is not purposeful and calculated. More than most in brewing. They made the right call. Not to mention it’s a Tuesday.

 

After a holiday, no less.

 

The maple syrup thing is news to me. lol. Fair bit of hubris getting into that game.

I think I'd probably hit the $65 limit if I made a trip, but hopefully they drop that soon. Wouldn't mind trying vvvvery green and juice machine finally and try out a couple of the lagers.

 

soooo... what happens if I don't want a pour

 

From the website: Drink tickets are non-refundable and only valid on the day of purchase.

Seems a bit strict (mainly the non-refundable part). Anyone know the hours for draft pours? I'm assuming 11-6 for a weekday (or, the same as pickup hours, generally), but I hate having to assume (I couldn't find it spelled out explicitly anywhere).

Does anyone know: Are drink tickets only available on the online ordering page, or can they still be purchased on site?

I would really hate to drop $32 on four drink tickets that I can't redeem because something comes up that I don't get to pick up until right before closing, or if draft hours don't match pick up hours...
