TOMORROW WE WILL BE RELEASING BOTTLES OF “LUCID”, a mixed fermentation farmhouse ale!

Lucid was brewed back in April and allowed to mature with a blend of yeast and bacteria in stainless for two months before being packaged and tucked away in the barn for an additional two months of natural refermentation and conditioning in the bottle.

As the first Tree House bottle release, we are excited to share this beer with you!

Lucid presents you with aromas of Chardonnay, grapefruit, and apricot. The taste follows closely behind exhibiting Champagne-like flavors with a pleasant and approachable lemony tartness. A true delight on these hot summer days. . .

There will be a two bottle limit and bottles will be $15 each (750ML format). More details on the release can be found shortly attreehousebrew.com/on-tap

A fresh 10 barrel batch of Julius will also be pouring, and the remainder of Sap and Eureka if they last this evening.

Aww yeah!

fuuuck

Anyone else psyched about Curiosity #7?

We’re excited to release the seventh installment of the Curiosity Series, aptly named Curiosity Seven! We used a very simple malt bill to produce a glowing yellow beer seasoned appropriately with our favorite American, New Zealand, and Australian Hops! We taste strong flavors of sweet tropical fruit balanced by a punch of more acidic citrus fruit. A dry finish melds with a burst of lime to finish things out. She’s just big enough to pack a serious hop punch but just small enough to be supremely drinkable. What can we say? We love the Curiosity beers!

I've never been there on the weeknights. Think there will be an insane line for this? It'd be nice to have some growlers for the UConn football game tomorrow.

I don't think there's been any real pattern, it's kinda been hit or miss on how busy it is there lately. I think the past few Thursdays have been the busiest days. Fridays and Saturdays have been better, but then again this is just the most recent trend. But even Saturdays have fluctuated during the day. I went a few Saturdays ago because I heard the line was 20 min around 11:30 or so. Got there at 1:30 and it was an hour and half wait... so who knows. My guess is that this will draw some attention, not sure if it will be to the level of Yarrrggghhh or very green.

 

[BGsWo22]

This C7 is really nice for sure

SPECIAL NOTE ON HOURS NEXT WEEK The week of September 14th-20th we will be open WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, and FRIDAY from 5 - 8 PM and CLOSED on Saturday.

This beer sounds amazing:
"GOOD MORNING" - (Imperial Coffee Stout - 8.4%) - A project that began as Imperial Double Shot has matured into a distinct beer that is perhaps our most complex yet! Brewed with Monson’s own Maxwell Road Maple Grade A Dark Amber Maple syrup, Good Morning pours pitch black in the glass with a creamy mousse-like head. The bubbles give way to aromas of rich milk chocolate, cocoa powder, and dark amber maple syrup. The flavor starts as a blast of milk chocolate and sweet maple syrup, as deeper complexities are uncovered as it warms. The crew here at Tree House tastes “chocolate covered maple candy”, “vanilla”, “chocolate cake”, “brown sugar”, and “fresh roasted coffee”. A super decadent treat, Good Morning begs to be shared and contemplated! (750 ML - $11) ** 2 750 ML limit **

Yeah. You going tomorrow? I should be there around opening. Cannot pass up this and Green on at the same time.

Not sure if I'll be able to make it, got a lot going on. I'll definitely try to though and will let you know.

No worries, see ya there if so! Someone probably needs to grab Donny a growler of this...

Good Morning sounds great. I would love to figure out a way to not work tomorrow and go up for this...

Unless someone from the New Haven/Fairfield county area wants to bring back a 750 of Good Morning for me (trade for 4pk of Weisse Trash?).

What time do people start showing up on Saturdays now? Haven't been there in a while

Today must be an antiques day, Sturbridge is a shitshow. Dammit

 

[tehzachatak]

No antiques, just a big yardsale. Busy as hell here...

Very happy that Good Morning lasted all day yesterday. I was able to get up there right around 5:30 to fill my growlers and there was practically no one there (one guy paying and two other people waiting for their growlers). Can't wait to open them this week.

But I did have a weird experience when I showed up. I asked if they were doing samples. They said yes, they normally would, but they were out of sample cups. Understandable since they were busy all day. One of the staff members said I could buy a tasting glass and they'd fill samples for me... I said I'd buy a Teku and use that. Then it got strange. The woman filling growlers was really hesitant to pour me a sip, even though a few staff members said it would be OK. I didn't even ask for a Green sample because she really made me feel like I was doing something wrong (when in reality I bought a $10 glass because they were the ones who ran out of dixie cup).

I think that she wanted to hide my sample from the other people who were just about to leave. I'm assuming they asked and were shot down (and didn't want to buy a glass for it). Just a very bizarre visit, especially considering how friendly everyone there has been in the past. I was also kind of bummed they made me buy a glass to get a sample. They easily could have just grabbed one of their tasting glasses for me.

tldr - someone tell them to keep more cups on hand and to not act sketchy when they run out

That is weird, but if that is the worst thing they ever do, I'll be ok with that. I think I am going to try to get up there for opening on Wednesday. Need me some Good Morning.

Agreed. Just made the visit seem off; would have been nice to get samples of both for me and the gf. #butthurtalert Hell, I'd even pay for samples if it allowed them to buy glassware and then wash/reuse it (no idea if they'd be allowed to charge for samples).

Anyway, Good Morning is awesome. You should for sure try to get there Wed.
