Tree House Brewing Co.

Thoughts on this Vanilla Cheen?

It's good. Tasting notes: it tastes like a milk stout brewed with coffee and then aged on vanilla beans. 10/10 would bang again.

You haven't seen hype yet. Wait til Good Morning hits bottles.

Are you speculating this will happen (let's pray this happens)? Or do you have solid info to believe it will actually happen? I sent a facebook message to Treehouse begging them to disclose the next release date to me....haha I come in from OH and always miss the Good Morning releases.

I guess you can call it speculation since it's based on a rumor but also based on the fact that they packaged Double Shot which leads me to believe this could possibly happen.

Except Nate's explicitly said he never plans to bottle Good Morning.

This. I believe his reasoning was that if it is bottled, people may be inclined to age it, which is not his intention. The beer is meant to be consumed as fresh as possible.

cool, bet they never had anyone do that before...



oh wait, its every day on twitter.

Didn't he also say he would bottle it in that original blog post about the expansion?

Nope, he was talking about Double Shot there if memory serves.

 

[purephase]

He mentioned both in that update:

We will bottle some of our beer. Hopefully by late spring / early summer we will receive our bottling line. This means bottles of Double Shot, Double Shot variants, Good Morning, and Good Morning variants, among other things from the barrel program we will finally have room for. I am so excited!!

I don't know if he ever said Good Morning specifically would never be bottled but he did say that about Double Shot last year:

Have changed my thinking on this a bit. Double Shot is a beautiful fresh beer, and should be kept cold. Bottles run the risk of triggering a cellaring mentality. Double Shot and Good Morning will not get better with age, especially at cellar temp. In my opinion Double Shot & Good Morning should be enjoyed as freshly as possible, regardless of format. They both evolve beautifully in the growler for a while, but they are, again in my opinion, at their very best < 6 weeks old. Beyond that the intense coffee no longer provides the proper balance to a super rich base beer. The beers still have merit, but it's like Jordan on the Wizards, ya know?

So... Double Shot in cans. Not sure about Good Morning just yet. Barrel Aged beers definitely still in bottles, along with mixed fermentation creations we've been working on.

So basically Nate is a dirty flip-flopper who's wrong for Tree House and wrong for America.

Until he changes his mind. I think it would be awesome if he did so that the trade boards would break.

Pretty solid for 5 months. Coffee has most certainly dropped off, and it's sweeter than I remember it being fresh, but damn is it still wonderful. Sharing this one with family tonight.

 

[screwyouguys]

what could one possibly expect on a non hyped release on a random weds/thurs towards the end of june, trying to determine if its worth a detour to stop in

any help would be greatly appreciated

The earlier you go the bigger the line. Can lines move quickly, growler fills not so much. Show up later and you can be in and out quickly.

was looking at there site which i assume is up to date, stated 3cans pp lights on and 2 cans pp of haze

is this the norm i have never been before, would be going with my wife ( who won't let an ipa out of her death grip)

is it normal to go and only get a 6pack and 4 pack or are these extreme limits,

just trying to get info for planning trip

That's the update to the site after today's can sales, but before tomorrow's canning run. Both Haze and Lights On were available at 6 pp each today. Tomorrow when a new beer is packaged it will be added to the cans available. If it's one of their more frequently rotating beers, it will likely be 4-8 cans pp.

ok cool so the norm, minus a wild hyped beer would be approx a 6pp

again thank you, if anyone would have a recommendation place to stay between treehouse and boston?

When is that new brewery opening? Late this year early next year? Where is it and how is the new location going to affect you regulars?

friend messaged me, said last few times he's been there on a wednesday there is some homie that sets up shop in the parking lot slinging trades out of his trunk for more cans. love the beer world.

Hah! Me and some friends did a VT pilgrimage and drove down through Tree House on our way to Philly, naturally I had a bunch of Heady and swapped some cans for more Curiosity 23 (I think it was? Last Oct) and it was the best decision I made! Wish I would have swapped more...small service was performed for the finishing of my last can.

Dude was there, 1/2 way down the aisle that the portopotties are in, on Friday trying to sling Heady and SoS for STRICTLY Julius. Was shocked they allowed it. Pretty sure the traffic directors saw him doing it.

Saw no one bite, and when he asked me (I was there early, #62 in growler line) I said no, and said he looked like he wasn;t having much success. He said he had already traded for 2 or 3 cases

Re: ^this, I was giving away some cans of Heady too as we were practically on a Beer Honeymoon, is it frowned upon to do friendly can swaps on site? I'll keep it in mind if I ever get back by. I can understand why a regular doing this and doing it in such volume (and likely for trading/selling) is in poor taste, but I just wanted a few more and people were thrilled to get Heady...?

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

I have arranged to trade Tree House for Trillium and HF at Tree House multiple times. People coming down from Boston or VT wanted to try something from a prior day they had missed and the like. Worked for me because I got to dip my toe in beer from elsewhere and help them simultaneously. This was, however, pre-arranged.

I think the whole approach and solicitation is what makes it feel slimy to people. It is not the same, but to some I bet they don't see it as much different than someone begging. Maybe a combination of a moral stance of some people and a New England characteristic of people generally not liking to interact with strangers.

Edit: If the brewery doesn't discourage it (I don't know their feelings), I think it is fair game so long as one is not concerned with looking like 'that guy' to some. Making a business out of it is despicable, though.

This is what I figured.

I more or less had a 4-pack of Heady in my hand and for those that asked or eye-balled it hard I offered to swap with a TH can type of thing. This was just while we were in line and waiting for growlers. I didn't "set up shop" or anything, as that is tacky.

I'm sure the new brewery with increased production will naturally resolve this type of stuff, or at least you'd hope.

So are the days of cases of eureka long gone? I went up last time they were selling cases of eureka w/citra and a lot of the people in line seemed uninterested in it, but the last couple drops have been 6pp....meh.

 

[MooltiPass]

I think the days of anything being much more than 6pp are over until the new brewery opens. I really wish that wasn't how things were, I would absolutely head up there for a case of Eureka Citra, but I don't see that being possible for a good long while.
