Tree House Brewing - August 2014

Last night was good, albeit 1:45 minute wait for four hours. Had to crack one of my Haze 750s when I got home, damn good stuff. Eureka w/ Equinox was gone by the time I arrived at 5:15 and nothing replaced it.

 

Thursday nights seem to be the busiest besides opening on Sat. I have yet to make to over there on a Friday night, anyone know how the scene is then?

I really like Haze, got some the last time it was on and was impressed. Eureka is a sleeper, seems to be an afterthought by some, but I always enjoy it.

 

We recently went Saturday afternoon, was about a 30 minute wait, but dropping off the ticket was no wait.

 

The pattern lately has been busy on Thursday, not too busy on Friday and Saturday who knows. But that is always subject to change.

 

I arrived yesterday around 4:45, parking lot was full and shop was open. Placed my order and was out in less than an hour. Not bad!

 

this is my new jam @ treehouse; forget going on thurs. forget going on saturday morning. I check the website to see whats left and go from there. was in and out last saturday @ 1pm in 15 mins.

 

Big day tomorrow, Julius, Haze, Sap, Eureka and a bottle release!

 

TOMORROW WE WILL BE RELEASING BOTTLES OF “LUCID”, a mixed fermentation farmhouse ale!

Lucid was brewed back in April and allowed to mature with a blend of yeast and bacteria in stainless for two months before being packaged and tucked away in the barn for an additional two months of natural refermentation and conditioning in the bottle.

As the first Tree House bottle release, we are excited to share this beer with you!

Lucid presents you with aromas of Chardonnay, grapefruit, and apricot. The taste follows closely behind exhibiting Champagne-like flavors with a pleasant and approachable lemony tartness. A true delight on these hot summer days. . .

There will be a two bottle limit and bottles will be $15 each (750ML format). More details on the release can be found shortly at treehousebrew.com/on-tap

A fresh 10 barrel batch of Julius will also be pouring, and the remainder of Sap and Eureka if they last this evening.

Aww yeah!


If I was savvy enough to pull photos off of Facebook I would post.

 

I may go back up just for the bottle release. Should be able to grab the two limit and get back on the road.

 

Any idea on bottle counts? I can't go at opening, but was hoping I could make around 2 for this saison.

 

seems i moved to dc a few days too early...

 

Anyone up there today? How long will/did the bottles last?

 

Here now. Lucid should last through the day. Still a lot of cases left.

 

Yeah the accident on 90 is probably slowing Lucid sales, does that mean it wont be an instawhale

 

Good to know for the future, unfortunately this afternoon does not look promising for a trip. Actually the accident on I-90 would have helped my chances as that's not part of my route.

 

Any update on how many bottles are remaining?

 

Damn, must have been a shit show up there today

 

Went there and quickly grab my 2 bottles. I-90 on both sides was a nightmare. East was just horrible. Good thing I came from Connecticut. I was in a hurry and I barely had any time to stick around, but it wasn't to bad when I was there around 1:45 pm.
