Tree House (2025)

Yup, it’s impressive. Was there a couple Thursdays ago and the main lot was full. There are a few that are packed on Thursdays I’ve been to, but they’re few and far between.

 

Appreciate this, hoping to try a few on tap today.

 

I was at Charlton yesterday late afternoon and saw that the Winter Lodge was not set up, asked the guy at the merch counter about it. He said they were not doing it this year in the pavilion due to the cold weather, and there was some sort of problem with the town not allowing the space heaters in there as they did last year. They moved it inside the main taproom (decorations, etc.) and were serving the lodge drinks from the classic bar area.

The place seemed more packed than usual for a Thursday night, probably moving the Winter Lodge inside contributed.

 

I keep hearing that beer sales are down huge and breweries are closing at somewhat alarming rates. Apparently, everyone just decided to go to Tree House instead, cause they haven’t missed a beat

 

Trillium Fort Point, Sam Adam’s downtown tap room, both Notch locations, Idle Hands, Harpoon usually packed when I’m there…Democracy was packed with no seats in the house a couple weeks ago when I was there.

Even was at Lamplighter on a random Monday at noon a couple months back and it was busy.

A lot of places are doing well, the one’s that aren’t are starting to drop off.

 

Math always wins in the end. The saturation point was hit and now they’re being run through a filter. Sucks but it had to happen. Hot chicken joints are next

 

IMO Very SSSappyyy is a pretty decent beer.

 

Nate always has that sweet Good Morning fomo to lean on if things ever went south.

I'm only half kidding. Considering how much HF charges for their rare releases I'm pretty sure they could do like a single 750 ml growler per person for $150 each and no one would bat an eye.

 

If I was a betting man, I'd say Nate already brews something ridiculously close to, if not nearly the same as, Good Morning (Moment of Clarity?) and it's slid under the noses of everyone.

 

I can't imagine MoC is any easier to brew so it wouldn't surprise me.

I wish I could have tried it back in the day. I'm guessing whatever version would come out now would be far too sweet for me.

 

Weren’t there rumors GM was just double shot with maple syrup back in the day?

It will never get released again. I would also imagine we’re at the point where more than 50% of TH customers don’t even know what Good Morning is, which makes it less and less likely to ever be seen again

 

Yeah…But we’re the Greatest Beer Generation.

Nate’s owes it to us, or some fucking boomer yelling at clouds, complaining shit.

I heard Nate has a team that draws blood and screens for Good Morning DNA. Once cleared you have you FAX’Z card and you gain entry back into Monson for the fabled Monson brewed beers. Word is Dean will great you with samples of dark orangey, translucent, Green. Free face labels to go!

 

All while crying out "Biiiiiiiig tippah!"

 

Jesus Christ I forgot about that

 

Saratoga is an awesome town, you should hit Fidens too, great hazies.

 

What happened to him? Was there a falling out or he just took the money and ran?

 

He's now involved in Swing Oil Beer Company. Might even be his company. I don't know anything about the separation from Tree House.

 

Plover is basically Diacetyl: The Beer.

I know it's entirely acceptable (and even expected) for the style but damn. I've had it before in beers where it absolutely wasn't wanted but for my palate "buttered popcorn" is the predominant flavor here.

Also I knew it was a nitro beer but it’s funny not seeing that anywhere on the can. "Why doesn't the head go awaOhhhhhh".

 

He was essentially forced out. He was not at all happy about it
