I was there yesterday at noon and it was packed with kids and families. Unbearably loud as well. Outside was great though. They setup for filming at 3pm and had the bruins game on as well. Parking lot was full at noon but a lot of that was golfers.
Thinking the pizza is awful is a flaming hot take. Like others on here, I've never heard anyone bad mouth it other than to say it was a little charred for their liking, a thing that I find to be a positive about it. The closest Tree House location is an hour and a half from me, and I still consider going some weekends for a pint and a pizza.
The Saratoga Springs location is about an hour and twenty-two minutes from me and I'm very tempted to go check it out now that the weather is improving. Just to get my hands on some of these classics.
I’ll have to pile on, the pizza is good. It’s not going to be everyone’s thing but you would lack a huge amount of nuance to say it is horrible. On another note, Radiohaze probably the first time I will ever have to buy a Tree House beer just for the can. In Rainbows inspired can art…yes please.
Pizza was better in Brimfield. It’s always too green out of the oven. Dough has the new yeast profile.
I'm not sure if anyone here watches the Tree House YouTube channel at all. But in the most recent video, "The Best Tree House Drinks to Try This Spring" posted Apr 24, 2026 (I won't link the video here) between 6:40 - 7:40, Nate mentions they have been using Anthropic's Claude. It was part of his part of his pitch for Keep Thinking. While Claude helps them in the back end (guess referring to office management, inventory stuff, etc.), it's not a replacement for human creativity. Perhaps a bit of unintended irony here, as some have claimed that they are using AI generated art on their cans.
Haha. I guess I can let this transgression slide. TH usually is pretty keen on doing original artwork for their labels, and the OK Computer artwork is way too original to get through without it being blatant that it’s a copy.
It’s healthy to understand where AI has its place. As for the cans, TH has a longstanding legacy of working with artists directly so would be hard to believe they move away from that to AI.
I would agree. I figure that, along with hiring freelance artists, they must have a dedicated in-house art department working on can art. I'm sure with input and inspiration from Nate, the brewers and the whole TH team.
The in-house art department makes $300K per year to keep up with the ever rising cost of living in Boston. This is of course the median salary at Tree House.
Has anyone heard an explanation about why they abandoned blueberry stouts? Spiritual Unrest has been resting a long time. I enjoyed Blueberry Brunch. Multiple blueberry IPAs (even if just from Mosaic rather than fruit) but no love for the dark side.
Blueberry season is coming up, so maybe in June? Spiritual Unrest was good the first time I had it. The second time it didn't seem as good. I was hoping Fleeting Moment would come back with the recent drop of the milk stout lineup
I’m assuming Juice Machine-Bleed Green is just JM with Celtics colors? Aside from that, does anyone remember those first pours of Juice Machine at EBF? Lucky to have worked it that year and grabbed a few. I remember that being a polarizing moment. If my memory serves me right, that OG EBF recipe was tweaked and the batches there after were an iteration of the original. Is this memory correct?
Funny, a while ago I had been told a Mgr in a TH location could make around $90-$100k. This came from someone internal. Have wondered since
