Tree House Brewing Co. (August 2015)

You'll be fine.

They just announced the addition of date coding! Won't effect me much cuz I drink it so damned fast, but very cool move.

 

Very mellow when I left at noon. Pacer had just kicked, and was replaced by Eureka on tap. I'd guess Eureka cans will last most of the day.

 

Got there at 1:30 and was in and out with cans and growlers in about 15 min. Never seen it so mellow like that before.

 

It's a smaller and less flashy list for growlers and u have to really like Eureka to get a whole case of it.

 

Safe to assume Eureka cans will be there on Thursday too? Green would be a nice addition to the lineup as well.

 

(3:00pm) @TreeHouseBrewCo: FYI - no risk of running out of Eureka cans today.

Twitter people! Twitter!

 

Twitter? I have you fine folks for that. ;-)

 

anyone else on here going 8/22?

 

my wish is to have Green and Present moment on at that time. I know anything they have will not be a dissapointment, but those 2 sound right up my alley based on reviews i've seen. I also really want to try julius and lights on.. and eureka with citra.. hell i want try everything!

 

Present Moment has only been released once

 

Late post but Saturday: no line whatsoever, was in and out in 15 minutes with cans and growlers. The parking lot was virtually empty, so was inside. So strange after waiting in big lines on Thursdays. I'll never do that again.

I know that's unusual (even the staff knew. They said: "We don't have a BIG Double IPA for cans, so it's slow."). Cans are getting all the attention (ONLY Eureka w/ Citra, ha) but Haze growlers? Drinking right now, sooooo good.

 

Pretty much no wait when we showed up on Saturday as well. Unfortunately Haze kicked while we were putting our growlers on the bar.

 

Just wanted to post that I finally popped my TH cherry this weekend. I've traded for just about everything so far, but have been meaning to go for quite a while. My buddy and I arrived at 9 (yeah a little ambitious) and we were 17th and 18th in line. It was nice that people had their growler bags in line so we could just hang out at the picnic table and the pond. They only had a few cases of Haze left so I was lucky to grab 6 cans of Haze--they also started canning the Eureka right as they opened, so we got to watch the canning happen while we were in line. Really liked how they take orders before open, our growlers were ready when we walked in and after having a tasting or two we hit the road at 11:30 AM. Staff were incredible friendly which seems to be more and more rare at some of the more hyped/busy breweries I've visited. All told, I left with a case of Eureka cans, 6 cans of haze, and 5 growlers (Haze/Pacer/Lights On):



The Trillium was a little IP trade I did with a nice dude from Boston.

EDIT: I'm not usually that guy who lines up at breweries but I was in town visiting in-laws so I needed to be back in the Berkshires by 1...

 

I've been there a couple of times where it isn't slammed. Saturday I got there at 2 and was out in 15 minutes. That was going to the Koi Pond after getting the beer as well.

 

yeah I think Saturday afternoon you'll generally get in and out no problem. Similar phenomenon at Trillium - at open on Saturday there might be an hour wait but come back 4 hours later and you'll breeze in and out. I think this is a vestige of the days when stuff would kick really early in the day.

 

Can someone explain how can line vs growler line works. It sounds like can line moves quicker than growler line. does this mean that folks who only opt to get cans can just pass up all the people in the growler lilne? I want to get both growlers and cans, but dont want to risk them selling out of cans while im waiting around in the longer growler line

 

Put in your growler order, then get cans. There is no real wait, you just give them a ticket it takes 30 seconds. Totally separate lines.

 

Yeah, what Tbub18 said..

Seeing the canning happen in front of you was really, really cool. Awesome trade w/ him as well. Good stuff, great atmosphere, and the Lights On is absolutely unbelievable. We'll definitely be back.

 

I have to second Lights On being awesome. Hopefully it is still on this Friday.

 

Can anyone do me a huge solid? I am looking for a Tree House Brewing Co. sticker. I have a collection from the breweries that I had visited and somehow I managed to go home without this sticker.

I can send a self-addressed stamped envelope and a Kane Brewing sticker, if that pleases. Thanks!
