Tree House Brewing Experiences

Do we know what waits (if any) are like at around 7 pm on Thursday nights? I head to Tree House a few times per month but it's always right at opening on Thursday, but I don't think I'd be able to get there tonight until 7:00 - 7:30.

Thanks!

 

I was told by Dean last week that Julius would be on this week.

 

+- 4 weeks for that batch. . . we have three batches in our tanks. This batch is fresh, kegged on Monday. . .

 

Damn, you fit a lot of beer in that little garage.

 

Not nearly enough..!

 

Agreed!

 

Anyone know how much Curiosity 6 is left? Was planning on heading up tomorrow, but would like to know if I need to rearrange some shit and go tonight..

 

Anyone out east ever travel to TH on a Thursday or Friday night? I was thinking about trying to make it out for 5pm tonight and making it home for the Bruins game (have since scratched that plan).

However, for future reference, how is it traveling eastbound on the Pike at that hour? I live in Haverhill and it usually takes around 50-60 minutes to get home. What would it take on a Thursday or Friday at rush hour?

 

The worst spot will be the Sturbridge exit, going in either direction. Otherwise its usually not too bad.

 

13 sixtels in the cooler. . . hard to say if it will last.

 

Tree House Traffic on the 3s
@mattosgood East bound traffic is generally OK on Thursday, a little bit more congested at the Sturbridge/Charlton exit both ways as mentioned on Fridays but you may hit traffic going up 495 North if you are going back to Haverhill. If you have a smartphone, the Waze navigation app is a great tool to direct you around traffic.

@MarkJC1018 As far as lines go on Thursday, it has been really hard to predict. It might be busy given Julius is on and everyone who has heard how good C6 is, sorry I can't offer more info there.

This is Jay "Too many Os" live from the Tree House Traffic Helicopter.

 

Another easy trip for me out to Tree House tonight. On the road by 3:20 coming from Newton. In the lot by 4:30, #13 slip. Back on the road by 5:20. Home by 6:30 and Julius in my glass by 7:00. Walked away with 4x750 of Julius and a 2L of Curiosity Six. Once the sun came through I made the call to make the trip. It could not have gone smoother - drive, line, weather. Always great service from Dean, Damien, and Lauren.

 

Thanks for the info here. Perhaps THBC isn't a grab-and-go, and was never meant to be. Okay by me. I think I'd rather Saturday mornings with a BT's brisket lunch than sit in traffic.

 

Everything has been super smooth at the new place. Really dig it. Damien did a bang up job with the bottle display shelves from previous adventures. Now, if they could just paint in some lines in the parking lot for people I'm sure Dean's bloodpressure would appreciate it.

 

Sounds great! Yeah 495 has been silly lately with construction.

 

A friend brought us some Julius last summer and it was delicious....yet it took til today for a first visit. Only 45 minutes away. No idea why it took so long. Regardless, more Julius today. I'm a convert who'll be back. Definitely sooner than later.

 

Awesome experience as usual today. Our 2nd time up from Brooklyn (first at the new location). Such a positive and welcoming vibe there from Dean & crew. Arrived at 10:55am and was 23rd in line. Only Julius on tap (Curiosity 6 kicked at the 10th person). Got my 5 growlers and was out by 11:45. Exciting things happening soon there as per Dean.

 

Oh, forgot to mention, after closing today, the guys were driving to Toppling Goliath to collaborate again. Dean wasn't sure what but possibly another batch of David, he mentioned.

 

Anyone looking to trade a Julius growler to a fellow beer advocate would be be greatly appreciated have some stuff to trade message me. Thanks

 

looks like green and julius for friday

 

I am looking for a growler of these two beauties - Julius and Green. Anyone willing to trade with me I promise to make it worth your while. I have many other great IPAs and some great stouts too - I am sure we can come to an agreement on a nice package for you. Please message me if interested. Thx!

 

I think Green and Julius might honestly be my top 2 favorite beers of all time. So, so good.

 

Barley and I stopped in on Sat on our way to CT loaded up on Julius, it's awesome! Great crew and cool spot, looking forward to the next trip out!

 

Thinking about driving up from southern RI on Thursday, seeing as I'm moving out of RI next weekend. It is a much closer trip than driving from LI. I expect to get there right before 5pm when they open. Is there usually a line? I have to be back in RI by 7, and the drive is about an hour and 15 m.

Been hearing very, very good things about this brewery and would love to try Julius.

 

I was there with my dog as well on Saturday - the tan cockerspaniel. I think we met.

 

I've only been on a Thursday once, but I would plan on waiting at least like 30-45 minutes or so if you get there right at opening when there's Julius...it's tough to say though

 

That thing was vicious, man. I overheard the altercation between the cocker and the lab...scary stuff!

 

Thanks for the heads up!

Do they allow dogs inside? It would be easier if I could bring mine with me.

 

They do, on a leash.

 

Awesome! Makes life a whole lot easier. I wish more breweries allowed dogs inside, although I completely understand why many don't (allergies, people are afraid, dogs can be wild in a small area, etc.). My biggest problem with visiting many breweries is that I often travel with my dog and I don't like t leave him sitting in the car for 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. while I wait online.

 

TH is loaded with dogs and kids most of the time, their policy seems to be come all ages/all species

 

Just traveled to Tree House this Saturday with my dog. Also hit up Night Shift, Trillium, and Jack's Abby - all very dog friendly. Highly recommend those 4 for a dog/brewery trip.

 

2 really awesome IPAs. I wish I was around this weekend to pick some up...

 

Just a heads up for anyone heading to Tree House from the East this weekend, the Brimfield Antique Show is happening so you may want to take the Palmer exit instead of going through Brimfield.

 

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm planning to finally make my 2nd trip ever out there (1st at new location). I've been meaning to try Green for a while and I'm tired of putting that off. Hoping it doesn't kick before Saturday as I think it was on last weekend, no?

 

Yes, it went on last Friday.

 

I don't believe Green will last until Saturday, unfortunately. There's only about a barrel or so left.. Double Shot should be ready, but I'm not 100% sure about that yet.

 

Doing a NY-MA beer run this Saturday , night shift at opening , then go to Tree House on way home. Was going to it in reverse order and catch a Red Sox game Sat nite but is supposed to rain. After Tree House, maybe an overbite at Peoples Pint or just go back home

 

^^^You should hit New England Brewing Company on your way back thru CT - great place and great beer.

 

double shot on Saturday would be fantastic.

I would think that last barrel of green will go quickly and may not last till Friday, let alone Saturday. Any thoughts on this?
