Tree House Brewing (2022)

There is a register where you can put in an order at Sandwich if you're there for your reservation. Couple nice pros to it: it’s open even if pickup hours have ended (ie Sunday night) and doesn’t have the $65 minimum ordering online does. Not as convenient as ordering online as you literally just tell your order to the person running the register, but definitely a nice to have option.

 

The most recent batch of Green is tasting as good as ever. So is VG, but I’m leaning towards the OG nowadays. A quintessential New England ipa, 7.5% @ 15.20$, Galaxy pineapple juiciness. That’s hard to beat. I also miss the 18oz pours of Green at the classics bar.

Went for the rare fruited ipa today, very yellow. Any variation of green with pineapple purée and I’m in.

 

Not hating. It was bad to me. Opinions can be different and none are wrong. If I hated on what was popular, I wouldn't be going to TH regularly, and drinking hazies for the last 4 years.

Someone was up there yestrday and grabbed me Very Yellow. Can't wait to try that one

 

I’ve been reading in different forums that people are not happy about the canning dates being sold…

Is it true that they are selling month old IPAs out of the brewery?

I personally hope not and might stick to only the less common beers when i visit next week if their is validity to this. I’d be pretty upset walking out with 5 week old julius etc…

 

I’ll check random cans in my fridge when I get a chance, but tree house is about the last brewery I’d worry about when it comes to freshness. They sell so much beer.

3/4 of fox farms current ipas to go are about a month or older…

 

Out of 6 ipas in my fridge, the oldest one was canned 23 days ago (very green). Most are within a week or two old.

I find it very hard to believe a batch of Julius would last more than a couple of weeks, let alone a month.

 

Sandwich update…

“A note that reservations are no longer
needed on Monday - Thursday in
Sandwich as we experiment with our
post-summer approach to service &
maintaining a peaceful environment.
We are learning, working incredibly
hard, and evolving the space daily.”

 

Agree. Two out of the four times I had a friend pick me up beer at Charlton Julius was sold out. They turn it over quickly.

 

Damn. They're moving far closer to me and much sooner than I expected.

I must apologize in advance to my bank account. And my liver.

 

The most recent batch of Julius is 9/5 unless they already updated it. So at worst you're looking at 2+ weeks old?

I know it's more of a general statement and I understand where you are coming from.

I don't think I've walked out with any IPA that was older than 2 weeks. But that's purely anecdotal. I do visit once a month roughly and have since Charlton opened, for what it's worth.

 

Yeah, cuts a round trip for me by more than half. Plus, I have a buddy who lives 5 minutes away once that spot opens.

 

I’m most interested to know what they’re doing with the golf course. Nate, if you’re there, I have a podcast you can break this news to.

 

Betting it'll still be playable since there's a golf course superintendent job posted right now.

 

I'm not the most sophisticated guy, but a 5 week old Julius at fifteen bucks a four pack beats the hell out of 99% of the beers out there....

I would also be interested in a blind taste test at 5 weeks old vs. 2 weeks for the folks that take issue with that kind of thing...

 

Might hit Sandwich tomorrow - any IPAs that I should be getting apart from the cores? Not into the fruited options (which seem to account for a large proportion of the menu these days).

Boquete and Focusing Illusion also of interest - any feedback on those bad boys?

Cheers

 

while I can’t speak for Treehouse as it’s been a while… Root and Branch has been my go to and I can tell a clear difference at 5 & 2 weeks… Hill Farmstead is another I feel drops considerably in that time

 

Mother in law and her husband are doing a trip to Cape Cod and I’m hoping they can bring back some cans from Sandwich - thank you for clarifying this point. Does Sandwich sell single cans if you’re ordering from that register or from their in person retail shop? I couldn’t find anything on the website clarifying single cans vs 4-packs.

 

It's essentially the same menu you see online for Sandwich To-Go ordering. In fact, if you are unsure what you want they show you that page to make your selections.

 

Unfortunately singles are the one place where the 2022 TH experience pales in comparison to the pre Covid one, not an option outside of bottles.

 

Bummer! When my wife and I visited Charlton pre-covid, I was so happy to buy singles of everything I wanted and fly it home.

Appreciate the help, cheers!
