Tree House Brewing (2023)

@treehousereleases is their official IG “release” page. Pretty good place to check when things were canned and released

 

Seedling Whole Cone is just ridiculous. The best hoppy lager/"IPL" I've ever had.

Please don't let this be a one off.

 

The regular Seedling was already the best hoppy lager I've ever had when I had a draft pour the day it was released. I'm so glad to have some cans on hand. The Whole Cone version sounds even better.

 

Seedling Whole cone is great. A lot of their hoppy lagers are pretty tasty.

Looks like VB Truth is being released today.

 

Enjoyed all of the holiday hoppy beers they’ve put out. On paper I’m always suspect but they have all been great. Jolly the only one I didn’t care for as much. Packed on Sunday afternoon but amazing how quick it thins out after 6 or so. We had met friends in town for pizza and it was relaxing. Got a free can of Yule Latte to try as well, so all in all a good trip. I think the money thing has been put to rest. No implosions happening.

 

Enjoying a Jumbo Treat right now and its drinking pretty good. Its really making me want a big slice of pepperoni pizza

 

TH put out a SN Celebration knock-off called Sequoia. It actually sounds good and I will probably drink it this week. But come on guys, you at least have to acknowledge you’re ripping off the OG!!

 

I came here to post about this same beer, but hadn't thought of that provenance.

I'm just excited because I've been wanting TH to make a legit West Coast IPA forever, and it sounds like this might finally be one. I won't be visiting while it's in stock, though, so I'll rely on others accounts to know how it hits.

 

Idk I doubt Celebration has Nelson in it.

 

No chance of any Nelson in my Celebration

 

FOMO got me, picked up Sequioa and some Sap variants. Very turbid, good bitterness but definitely a TH take on a red ale, and a touch softer than Celebration. Get a little kick of Nelson at the end and I actually like that!

 

Not going to be stamped that so not sure how you'd verify, but:

Celebration pour tonight for comparison

 

Correct. It's Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook

It’s Tree House, there are Nelson hops in the water

 

That's right. Weller and Pappy have the same grain bill and it's accepted that Pappy's master distiller cherry picks the Weller barrels from what he considers the sweet spots in the Weller warehouse. Since no current Weller products are older than 12 years old, to see a just dumped Weller barrel older than that, you can safely accept that it started as Weller but was selected to become Pappy. Hard to read the date stamp on those barrel in the picture but it looks like Jan 5, 2007. Those Barrels are probably legit Pappy.

 

Is Treehouse still a shit show the weekend before a holiday? Like, I just want to drop in Tewksbury today a grab a few beers. Is this stupid?

 

I went last night and it was packed yet I had no trouble finding a parking spot, there was no line for drafts, and my pickup order was ready 5 min after I hit the “I’m here” button.

 

I was there(Tewksbury) yesterday around noon to pick up latte and Super Sap(amazing). The pours line at that time was bonkers. But I’m sure it evened out once more staff came in.

Peppermint mocha latte is solid too.
