Tree House Brewing - September 2014

The Friday pattern has been about 20 people in line on Friday when they open, that is the pattern...anything is subject to change.

 

I'd make the tongue in cheek suggestion for a parking lot webcam to keep track of lines & wait times....but soon enough, all this waiting around will be just a distant memory

 

Although a little on the pricey side Cedar Street Grill in Sturbridge is actually pretty beer focused and has a nice tap list and good food;

Really? I figure there'll still be lines for growler fills and probably even Vermont-esque lines for cans. Is there something they're doing with the new place to curb that that I don't know about?

 

Perhaps I'm making a lot of assumptions?

In the 3 times I visited the Alchemist sales room, I was never more than 3rd in line. Constant stream of people in and out but no real lines. That said, I never went on a weekend.

One time at Tree House, I think I overheard Dean telling someone they'll be able to move hundreds of cases a week. That's totally doable without big lines or wait times, esp if, and here I go assuming again, they're open and selling many more hours per week. There simply have to be more open selling hours a week!

If that's true, I can't see lines for cans ever being like the Alchemist pop up truck sales. (Are those the VT lines you're talking about?). TH is going to have a dedicated salesroom, just like the old Alchemist in Wtby. (again, I never went there on a weekend. Did they have significant lines?)

I'm hoping they'll eventually can more than just Julius as well. (there I go hoping/assuming again). That'll cut down on growler filling as well. Walk in, cans are already filled, easy in, easy out. Even if they don't, there will probably be a lot of people who, when faced with an hour wait for Green, might just walk out minutes later with 2 cases of Julius instead.

so yeah, you're right....I'm just speculating

 

Julius has kicked, Haze and Ma on.

 

enough of both to last tomorrow?

 

Damn...I may have to head up for some Haze, and something tells me they'll tap something else for tomorrow

 

Haze and Ma only tomorrow, I don't think Haze will last the entire day. Ma is a great beer for Sunday football and Nachos.

 

Lesson of the day: Never, ever, bash Jay

On another note, I can't wait to recommend that people drink Ma tomorrow watching football.

 

I just thought it meant jomobono doesn't like pretzels.

 

For anyone coming out to the brewery from the east, remember the Brimfield antique show is on this weekend. May be quicker to take the pike to Palmer.

 

Just got back from a trip out to Treehouse. Beautiful area and awesome people. Picked up two 750's of Haze and a Teku glass. Then stopped at Yankee Spirits and scooped up the last bottle of Lunch. Thank you @jomobono and others for all the great advice! Will be opening up a bottle of Haze shortly..

 

You're welcome, cheers!

 

What? No MA? What ever will you drink with your Nachos?

good to hear you had a successful run. I was tempted today. I've only gone twice in the same weekend on one occasion and that was for Very Green. A nice road trip in the AC woulda been nice today, and I really wanna try me some MA, but I just had too much to do today.

Thankful for Nate & Brendan for the finest liquids...and for Damian, Lauren, Dean, Mike and Jay for any help they lend to the liquids & of course, all the front of house goodness.

 

I did have a taste of MA, and yes, it would be great with nachos However, I was on a bit of a budget today haha

 

I had a heaping plate of Nachos and my ma made them for me!!1...
J rocks

 

What's going on in here?

 

I sure love me some nachos, football and Ma :-)
