    Thanks Jbart - you grabbed my post before I had the chance to delete it. Wondering if this will lead to new people trying and then rating Green - appreciate many do not rate due to time and other considerations, but am always interested to see what others think.

    Who can give me a little info about releases and the brewery in general. I apologize if the information is contained in older threads on the subject, but I couldn't find any. Basically, coming from about 3 and a half hours away to grab some cans. Everything I've had from TH is top notch and I'm sick of emptying my cellar to get them. How far in advance of the 5pm opening do I need to get there? Would an hour be enough? Or even too much? I went to the Weds can release at other half two weeks ago and it couldn't have gone smoother. Anyone with info, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    What day are you thinking of going there? Thursdays are usually crazier than Fridays. However, you could show up at 6:30 on a Thursday and not have much of a wait for cans. If you showed up at open (5:00), worst-case scenario is a 30 or 40-minute wait for cans. Tree House has it down to a science now.

    However, showing up at 5:00 on a Thursday for growlers would mean at least a 1-2 hour wait. You'd have your cans much sooner.

    Show up later for cans and you'll walk in and out. Show up an hour before open and you'll prob already be 50+ deep in line. The choice is easy.

    Yeah I got there at around 7pm last time and had 0 wait for cans and around an hour wait for growlers.

    If I were to show up around 6 on Friday what would the growler wait time be like? Sounds like I would probably be in and out for cans. Also can I drop the card and leave and come back for the growlers?

    You can leave and come back for the growlers. They will tell you the estimated wait and do a precall to make sure you are still there so just don't want to miss that. Most people seem to just hang around but I did notice a few leaving and coming back later.

    Will probably just hang out but was trying to see if it was even a possibility.

    My guess would be ~45 minutes, but it REALLY depends on what the list is.

    It's a cool hang too. Nice place, nice people, and now there is a koi pond where u can take a stroll.

    Can't wait to see them in the shop!

    Any chance Green can limits will be low enough to last through Friday? Any plans for a Friday canning run? I need some TH for floating the Deerfield River this weekend!

    6 PP on Green. I suspect it will be around for today and most of tomorrow. . .
