Tree House Brewing Company (September 2017)

I bet you that they realistically want to be ready to go at 1 but post 2 to give themselves leeway and open accordingly based on the previous days leftovers. Just a guess.

 

Impressively long line when We arrived at 220..but out the door with beer and charity tshirt by 310..no complaints

 

Jay has the patience of a saint.

 

I thought Nate ran the twitter? Is it a group effort?

 

It's Nate and Lauren.

 

Just wondering but did Nate answer you? I always wonder why they don't just open at the posted times or just open earlier. It's better now that production is way up but in Monson I was never sure if I was going to get a beer if I didn't get there super early.

 

If I were running the place, it would be. There'd be a board on the wall of the office with everyone's name on it, and when you hear the sound of a phone smashing against concrete...you know someone else's turn is up.

 

Has anyone tried Julius from today?

 

Got there at 3 and the line was fully wrapped around. I wasn't excited but it was 1 hour from line to car, really good for that size line on a holiday weekend. More importantly I got full alottment. And I've never had sap or eureka. I'm happy

 

9/1 Julius is closer to normal in taste than 8/24 . . . haven't poured one yet. . . .and the tag is "Never Miss A Sunday Show."

 

Today's Julius, not my picture.

 

Here's how Julius looks today:



Nice and hazy. Dark. Taste is lacking, but I think it's probably just a touch green. I'll give it a couple days.

 

Decided to stay away all summer. 20 can allotment was just too good to pass on. FWIW...Taking the break was good cuz I really don't remember Green tasting as good as it was last night.

 

Ah, my bad. I don't know them personally but they might be the nicest people on the planet to deal with some of those questions. Jay too. Good on them.

 

Hey, did you end up going to TH yesterday?

 

Yep, got there a little before 1pm. They were directing people into the lower lot but before I got out of my car they told the 5 or 6 of us waiting to go ahead to the upper lot because, I assumed, it was just opening. It was actually nearly full already and they were controlling the stream in. But I got in line at the first bend, then they opened not long after and even taking my time checking the new place out I was out of there by a bit before 2pm. Very smooth sailing and what a great place. It'll be even better when they can do pours more often and you can hang out in that great space. Only blemish was on my way out there was some guy yelling at the parking lot attendant because he wasn't letting him drive to the upper lot. And some people were complaining about the lack of a silent. Other than that, A+ experience.

It's funny but I've always gotten lucky with lines and waiting at TH. The worst was when I went for C28 and had to trudge in the snow from the back lots only to wait in line for 30+ minutes in the cold for 6 cans. But after going through the hell of past Dinner releases and many SWISH lines at Bissell, TH has been a breeze.

 

The C28 release is weirdly one of my fonder memories from Treehouse. It was pitch black and very cold (and the limits were low), but I met some cool people in line and really liked that beer. Its also my favorite of all the curiosity labels

 

I thought for sure I was going to get run over on the walk from the outer lot because it was so dark haha.

 

Made my first trip to Tree House last week and it was a blast! The staff was organized, professional, and friendly! The experience was wonderful in every way, shape, and form. Plus, I was able to walk about with 20 cans of four different varieties! Can't wait to get back!
