    @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.

    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 the past. 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:

    Most recent Julius is drinking exceptionally as well. Either the mango flavor has become more pronounced or it was missing before and has been dialed back in the last couple batches.

    Either way, amazing as always.

    God I'm such a disgusting neckbeard fanboy.

    The last 2 or 3 Julius batches have been amazing. This latest one was actually tasting similarly to King Julius. Had an extra dankness that KJ definitely had.

    They confirmed on twitter that Aaalterrr = jjjuliusss base beer(as we all kind of knew). They've released it 3 times since June (I think) and haven't released jjj in years.

    And they've put out doubleganger a bunch too and King JJJuliusss hasn't been out in years

    me neither though it got better ~week 4. Prob the worst TH IPA I've had. Either that or doppelpaste.

    More of a comment of how surprising it is they put doubleganger out so much. Not complaining though since it’s probably my favorite beer they do

    Thing is, I love Alter and Doppel, and Doubleganger is one of their best beers IMO. I had the first batch of Aaalter and it was too dank and had that sweet/sour gym sock flavor. Didn't taste anything like Alter to me.

    Maybe once it's available at a case pp I'll buy it again so I can try it over the course of a month.

    Have to just say that this last batch of Haze (OG label) is fantastic. Haven’t been out to the brewery in months and decided to take a ride and get a pour while I was there. That was the first time I’ve been there and it wasn’t a madhouse. It was pretty nice.

    But back to this Haze, it’s maybe the best batch I’ve had. I can’t remember Monson Haze, it’s been over a year. But I don’t know how it could’ve been any better. Just a soft, peach bomb. Also, side note, Double Shot 6th Anni was everything I love about a coffee stout.

    So you acknowledge 3 brews that you "love" including the one and only that is the base beer. You were not fond of the subject beer but are waiting for it to be available at a case per clip. Hint: drink the TH brews that you actually like or perhaps try something from the hundreds of NE breweries with thousands of offerings. Else, buy a few TripleAR at a time and see if you can "acclimate". I agree it is a bit odd as relates to the base but a case of a brew you aren't exactly fond of seems "ambitious".

    I wasn't being entirely serious with that comment. It was more of a comment about how Doppelganger and Doubleganger (alt versions of King Julius and King Jjjuliusss, respectively) are getting large allotments. The batch of Aaalter I had was at 3 pp. This one was 12 pp and made it through the day.

    it was 12pp last time too.

    They do seem to ignore the extended Julius lineage.

    Aaalter isn't ready. Faaalter. Julius is tasting better still not a fave of mine.

    I only had one can of Aaalter last release and I enjoyed it a lot. For me, it was a step up from Alter and quite a different taste than Doppelganger which is one of my all time favorites.
