    @DigitalNate has been known to make occasional comments when speculation is not correct on this monthly thread.



    Cans:


    This week's canning schedule, not guaranteed:

    + Tuesday

    + Wednesday

    + Thursday

    + Friday

    We are packaging into cans on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Cans become available the day they are packaged. Thanks!


    Pints:


    As we settle into our new brewery, the availability of pints will be sporadic (except for Tuesday and Saturday) and dependent on the crowd. If we are too busy it is not possible to maintain an enjoyable and efficient experience for takeaway beer and serve pints at the same time. Stay tuned to Twitter to learn if and when pours are available.


    Growlers:


    While we transition to the new brewery, growler fills are temporary on hold. Fear not - they will be back. They are a huge part of what makes us Tree House.

    New Glass 750 ML - $5 | 2L - $6


    Parking:


    REGARDING PARKING ON VERY BUSY DAYS, PLEASE HEED THE GUIDANCE OF OUR PARKING STAFF. ALSO, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE PROPERTY. THANK YOU!


    Line:


    There is just one line, the can line! You may order growlers (not available at this time) from the can line, when they become available at the new brewery. Our staff will assist you by handing out and collecting order cards for growlers while you wait for cans.

    ABSOLUTELY no drinking in the line or on the outside grounds!


    If you have to smoke, please step out far enough from the line so other people don't have to inhale your smoke. Thank you.

    We make every effort to keep limits the same, and this is indeed the case 95% of the time. On rare occasions when we believe it will be beneficial to visitors, we will lower limits to spread the love around a bit.

    ALL LIMITS POSTED ARE PER PERSON, PER DAY. No SECOND TRIPS THROUGH THE LINE during the same day even if they add new cans later in the day.

    ALL WHO PURCHASE BEER AT TREE HOUSE MUST PRESENT A VALID AND CURRENT PHOTO ID, NO EXCEPTIONS.


    BYOB:

    The beer you purchase at Tree House can be enjoyed at Westview Creamery on East Hill Road, and at BT's Smokehouse in Sturbridge.


    Nearby Bottle Shop:

    Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge, is the closest. It's close to BT's Smokehouse.

    Historical information on can/bottle releases:

    Awesome Tree House can release spreadsheet done by @BeerTraveler33.

    In his own words:

    Feel free to remind me, @BeerTraveler33, to update this as I usually only update the file on my work PC and I forget to update the google doc.

    He asks if anybody has any suggestions for his spreadsheet to write to him.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zWyBt7I2feobTsX5GcZvm91pn3fxuxEu-cI8oodXBi8/edit?usp=sharing

    This is the spreadsheet that you seen cropped, cut, and pasted on posts. Full credit should be given to @BeerTraveler33 for creating and maintaining it.


    A new spreadsheet link is below and was created (and maintained) by @jimmyfausto. Great job too.

    Dogs / Kids:


    Children, dogs and families are always welcome at Tree House


    Good Morning:

    This has come up several times in past months. According to @DigitalNate, Good Morning has not been retired.

    However all beers, including Good Morning, on this BA site that are listed as "limited" or in this case "rotating" and have not been released again eventually gets moved to the "archived" list, if not re-released over a period of time (forgot how long). It has nothing to do with whether or not it will actually be brewed again despite the red "This beer is retired; no longer brewed." which is added automatically by the site. This line sometimes confuses people but disappears when the beer is moved back to the "current" list.


    Shuttle bus:


    If you find yourself parked in the lower lot, we now provide shuttle service that runs thru every 5 minutes or so...now you don't have to exercise to get up that hill (although some of us could use the workout). :stuck_out_tongue:

    Speaking of that, how does one actually go back west? Head up the road a half mile and find a spot to pull a u turn?
    --------------

    Got a couple questions if you don't mind me asking. Should be in the area for the first time Saturday morning. Should I expect lines at 11am? Not necessarily worried about cans, just wanting a couple pint pours as I pass through.

    I can also pass back through tuesday-friday of the following week. Is Tuesday just a carryover day from the prior week as far as what's available on draft or the beginning of said week?

    If I were you and your main goal is not a haul but just to enjoy some pints, I'd skip Tree House on Saturday and carry on the jack's abbey or something. Tuesday's are always mellower than Saturdays and they're not only carry over days, they canned two new offerings yesterday, Bright and Haze and reported minimal wait on the opening. In other words, the earlier in the week the better in my book...

    Take a right turn, get in the left most lane, then take your first left into any of the entrances/roads you see and do your turning around in there. Zorbas is a good bet because once you enter the lot you can keep driving and exit at the other end, but they hate when people turn around in their lot. There's a couple side roads to pull a K-turn, or you can go a few more feet down to the car dealership.

    Of course, it's still up in the air whether a left turn across the highway is legal. :rolling_eyes: Maybe @JayKoz can chime in with his expert knowledge of traffic code.

    Let’s change the subject.

    I do miss that creamery. Also, their fried clams and onion rings.

    Mosaic hops give the best burp flavor.

    Discuss.

    Is this the place right down the road from the Monson brewery? Of all the times I went there I never stopped here. I always thought it was just ice cream?

    You know that the Zorbas owners don't want people turning around in their lot but you still suggest it as a "good bet"? Do you just not care?

    It's a good bet if your goal is to physically reverse the direction of your vehicle, ethical concerns and moral conundrums aside.

    There's a reason I added that and also suggested a few alternatives. That would suggest I do care.

    Likely rebrew canning after all these years. Interesting.

    Watching TH's Instagram stories I think Nate wishes he was around for the Dead in the late 70s, early 80s. It was a long strange trip, man.

    I would be interested to know who is TH equal in terms of onsite can sales. I am thinking they have to be at or near the top of the industry? This can probably expand to onsite beer sales once they are able to remove the 2pp draft limit and be open for drafts during standard business hours. Thoughts?
