Tree House Brewing - August 2014

Please write The Ultimate Warrior on your order form.

 

ha will do. I was planning on gettin there when it open,but maybe i will wait. Table and Vine looks legit. Hoping to get some Prairie, Boulevard and maybe Spencer...MattXT, i live 5 minutes away from Olivers (brewcrew) and 10 aways from Westmere,both are excellent. Also will i get shit for wearing a Yankees hat? Thats a half serious question

 

Prairie pulled out of Mass, you should be able to find Boulevard and Spencer no problem.

 

@jomobono I missed you last time I went down two weeks ago. We will have to catch up again soon. Did Nate pop the cool ship red?

 

Yeah I was in Portland, Left Coast Version. Not sure....if I see it around I think I may open it! (JK) How was Double Shot?

 

Hahaha I would pop it too, but I'm sure @DigitalNate would appreciate it. By the way....the farm/ fields/woods near the brewery are the perfect breeding ground for spontaneous yeast. I'm sure there's area for a cool ship in the new facility....

 

I know you guys see a lot of the retail people, but you may not know that behind that curtain of the brewery that is the garage door Tree House also has a great Assistant Brewer, Brendan Prindiville, helping to get those big balanced flavors to your head.

jomobono...do you work at Tree House?

 

I help out from time to time.

 

What's the name of the ice cream shop? I haven't been to the new Tree House digs because I wasn't sure if it would be as kid friendly as the old site (what with the treehouse and fish). If I could spend the growler fill time eating ice cream, though... since I'm driving to CT on Saturday anyway with the family, maybe we'll have a beer and ice cream detour!

For those who've been on Saturday recently, how bad would the wait be around 12-1PM?

 

Westview Farms Creamery, it is the next farm over. There is an ice cream cone at Tree House that points the way. They also got some goats and sheep.

 

Creamery is great, there is a bunch of little climbers for kids (my girls are 4 and 6) and yes, ice cream. Plus bathrooms. If you have kids, that's always an important one...

 

To add to @jomobono, at Westview Farms Creamery there are even slides for the kids to play on and baby goats for everyone to muse at. Last time I was there my girlfriend and I even got an ice cream for my pups; they have doggie bowls with treats in them.

12-1 Range you are likely to sneak in at the tail end of the morning rush so it should be pretty chill, especially considering the potential to get ice cream while you wait for your fills. Then again, there might be some kind of Ace up the 'MORE DELICIOUS FRESH HOPPY THINGS TBD' sleeve that could cause a rush...

 

Also Koran's Farm which is attached to the brewery has their fresh native corn for sale.

 

After 1pm seems to be the right time. I've been up there around that time and didn't even need to fill out a card. Here's my growlers, please fill them with my best friend Julius. Didn't even have time to eat the Subway I brought!

 

Thanks everyone! Hopefully they still have Julius left on Saturday, but I'd be more than happy with Sap or Green or really whatever.

 

Green is the underdog of the hype driven IPA world.

 

They have one barrel of Julius, it will be accounted for with the first ~60 people, so it will be gone tonight.

 

Me: "Let's head to Tree House for opening on Saturday. Oh, but will 10:30-11 be too early to stop for ice cream at the place nearby?"
My due-next-week-wife: "......"

So I guess we'll be there at opening on Saturday.

 

Got there at 4:35 today and the Lucid line was already ~30 people long and despite putting my order in inside right away it took about 2 hours to get my growlers. People in line - "I thought they opened at 5?". Haha. Ouch. 3 750s of Julius will ease my pain though.
