Reply to comment by isuxblaxdix in TIL There's a Treehouse in Tewksbury, MA by iforgotmyredditpass

It’s a brewery, main location is in Charlton but they’ve been expanding (have another location on the cape and I think somewhere else)

Interesting, maybe I'll stop off there sometime I'm heading to/coming from out west

It's worth it. It might be worth the drive just for the beer.

Edit: important detail I left out: they don't distribute to liquor stores I think? So you basically have to get their beer from one of their locations.

Ah, that's probably why I'm not familiar with the brand

Yeah now imagine that this business model is successful enough to open lots of locations. That's the level of their beer (personal taste aside, people must like it enough to overcome the inconvenience, right?)

Yeah I'll definitely check one out the next time I have the chance. I do love a good brewery

Check out their website for ordering ahead and picking up. For a while they wouldn't let you just show up. Started during early COVID, was still that way not too long ago. It will also let you know the level of financial commitment you're getting yourself into.

I'd probably just post up in the taproom if possible for a first visit. I like trying the off the wall stuff at breweries, and if I was doing a preorder I feel like I'd be playing it safe and getting pilsners or something haha

You can just show up now - ordering ahead makes it a tad faster if you know what you want, but it’s not like 2020 anymore. Or even like treehouse pre-Covid.

…yet you’ve never heard of Treehouse? They’ve got 6 of the top 25 beers on BeerAdvocate and rated #1 brewery on Untappd. Yes, you definitely should check them out! Charlton is the mothership, but Tewksbury is coming along and will be more accessible to Boston.

I just said I like breweries, as in I have enjoyed my previous visits to breweries, it's not like a hobby or anything. I didn't realize not being up to date on the highest-rated beers was so controversial in this sub, but it's clear I have offended some of the more cultured Bostonians

I love TH. Julius, Green, & Haze are some of my favorite beers but to me Hill Farmstead blows them out of the water. Their versatility and the ability to make every they make fantastic is crazy. I didn’t believe the HF hype until I made the trek and it was amazing.

Hell yeah. I spend a lot of time in VT and I try to get to HF at least once a year. I agree that their offerings are incredible and the location is idyllic.

But I’m an unashamed TH addict. :P Now that it’s so handy to me, I’ve been trying all the non-DIPA styles and they’re all amazing. They’ve got like 75 offerings on the menu and they just keep coming. I can’t keep up!

I have family in the Midwest who have expressed jealousy that we’ve had Treehouse beer. It’s a name in beer circles

It’s worth it just for the experience. I’m not a huge “juicy IPA” person (they have other offerings, but they’re known for that style in particular). But I love going with friends because it’s so beautiful, it operates like a well oiled machine, and they always have a good selection of food trucks on saturdays, lol. I think Eastern Standard Provisions has a semi-permanent pretzel counter now too. So good

That honestly sounds amazing. Definitely will check it out
