Tree House Brewing Company (July 2017)

Reeeally hope it's no later than the 21st but that's probably unrealistic

 

Damn

 

wow, old man today, i hope it lasts through the day and i might be able to get some tomorrow morning

 

Wow, 22 cans available for those who get there early today. Glad to see the floodgates opening up there with volume. Old Man x 8 , Lights out x10, 2 julius and 2 C38 not bad if you can make it

 

Except for the fact that 10+8+2+2=22

 

May I ask on behalf of a good friend who is making his first trip to TH today, and spending the night in Sturbridge with his wife (who is a good sport and much less into beer), any recommendations for a seafood restaurant in that vicinity please? Additionally any quick recommendations for Sturbridge at night? Thanks in advance!!

 

22 beers ...not quite a case.

 

unless +2 Silent lol

 

Never had Old Man (which sounds like a funny thing to say) and know next to nothing about the ESB style in general. What's it taste like?

 

OLD MAN (Extra Special Bitter - 5.4% ABV) - Our classic English-style Bitter returns to pay homage to a great man and an integral part of the Tree House team - Nate’s father, Dan! Dan has been spent his work-tirement assisting Tree House on the canning line and in many other ways both physically and spiritually. This beer is an homage and a thanks to a great man - and more broadly to fathers everywhere. Thanks, ‘Da’.

Don’t be fooled by the name - our interpretation of an Extra Special Bitter carries light bitterness and a gentle earthy noble hop character from Fuggles hops. The hops are balanced by an airy fruitiness and a rich base of flavors evoking caramel malts, brown sugar, and hazelnut. It is a wonderful and simple beer we find best paired with fish and chips, smoked meat, roasted chicken or, ideally, a day on the river.

 

I really like Sturbridge Seafood - http://sturbridgeseafood.com/

 

I'm just here to say I LOVE Lights On.

 

Wow. I hope one day a I can make it to the brewery for a release like this.

 

Hopefully in the not-too-distant future every 'release' is like this. Sure seems plausible given the reported scale of Charlton.

 

Let's hope so.

 

Was there yesterday and Wednesday

 

Such a great haul today

 

Yep sure was worth waiting in the rain!

 

I got there 4:30, thinking maybe the crowd of "what's an ESB?" or "it's just Lights On" would pass... boy was I wrong.

I knew Julius wasn't going to last but I watched C38 run out right in front of me. So 700+ people showed up before 4:30, bummer.

It is incredible though hearing people talking/asking about the "bitter beer".
