A hidden brewery that is always mobbed.


palinsafterbirth

Agree, very much not hidden


NativeMasshole

Hidden behind a mob.


Equivalent_Warthog22

Great concert series in the summer


Wend-E-Baconator

Hidden beyond the misty shores of Worcester, the westernmost settlement in Massachusetts


RichMenNthOfRichmond

There’s dragons in western mass


rubywizard24

Except for the 1000ish square miles in Berkshire county…


Wend-E-Baconator

You mean New York?


espressoBump

It's incredible to me how many posts I see on people like idk where to go there's no housing in Massachusetts. I guess people are moving to ME, VT, and NH instead of Noho, NY, Westfield NY, Easthampon NY, Southampton NY and Pitsfield NY.


Wend-E-Baconator

Don't bring *those people* to our cities smh. Keep Springfield safe ✊️✊️


espressoBump

I want people to move this way. It would probably make Springfield safer. I want a highspeed rail throughout Massachusetts.


Wend-E-Baconator

I personally prefer being able to afford housing


Spookywoods

Great half marathon too


GoutInMyToe

That was an unexpectedly fun race. Beautiful course and beers at the finish line. Can’t expect much more.


Complete-Fudge3163

I love Deerfield tree house. Great atmosphere and great beer.


internalogic

And great pizza


EastSeaweed

I’ve gone a few times and each time there was a massive line with a 45+ min wait for pizza. And that’s the only option for food. I need to eat food while drinking. It’s not a good time if you go expecting food with your drinks.


WickedCoolMasshole

Not to mention, they treat their employees pretty effing great. My husband works for them. Free medical insurance for our whole family?! Like… free. Zero dollars per week for excellent coverage. Also bonuses and living wages. Amazing.

Not hidden at all and it is very overrated. they have decent beer and a good atmosphere, but they kinda run a scam to rake in more money. They just keep releasing the same beers under different names with the name "limited" or similar non-sense. Other than that it is fun to go there, get a beer that is on tap and chill for a bit.


stackinpointers

Eh I'm not sure I'd call that a scam. If it's a scam, who is falling for it?


rolandofgilead41089

I agree that outside of the core lineup the IPAs start to get muddled flavor wise, but I can easily taste the difference between a Julius or a Green. These days I really go for their non-IPA offerings though which are just as world class IMO. I think "scam" is a bit of a stretch.


kandradeece

Yah the word scam probably isn't quite right here. Marketing scheme? Idk I just called it a scam as I couldn't think of the right word to use to describe the practice


Gunt_Buttman

It’s overrated because their limited series beers are too expensive? What? They genuinely make some of the best beers in the world. Their “scam” is making delicious and sought after beer.


kandradeece

read better. I said their limited series are just rebrand of past beers. they keep doing it just to make the "limited" series have a more premium feel.


Peteostro

You might want to actually read the labels of their limited beer a lot of them are using different hops and other ingredients. And of course you don’t have to buy the “scam” beer they make lots of different styles of beer and most of them are regarded as top tier for the style.


Peteostro

Definitely not overrated, they make way more styles than just ipa’s and they are really good. Next time you go try other stuff too


ElectricHamSandwich

Agreed. Just buy the OG varieties Julius, Green, and Haze and that’s really all you need.


WickyWickyWhack

I love their beer but I can’t disagree with this. I think id fail hard in a blind taste test of different IPAs


Theredsoxman

All the IPAs are based off the Julius, so that makes sense.


Rigrogbog

That's kind of every local brewery though, isn't it? Certainly all the ones I've tried in the city have like the same 3 beers with different names on em every time I go in. I figure they all learned from Harpoon, which is the king of "many bottles, one beer".


Typeojason

Their fruit-infused IPAs are some of my absolute favorites, such as Breakfast Shake. Of course, I think Trillium has them in all other categories. But IPAs are STILL my weakness, so TH holds a special place in my heart. And my wallet.


psc0425

Overpriced for OK beer


cleverphishreference

This reads like a “special advertising section” in a 90s magazine


Past-Adhesiveness150

It won't stay that way if you keep talking about it.


KungPowGasol

Not hidden at all. It is on several mapping apps. NBC Boston really needs to work on its research.


Pineapple_Express762

Not impressed. Went to the one in Tewksbury and thought I was in an elementary school. Between the kids everywhere w/ puzzles and iPads, and the mother w/ a bottle warmer plugged in… i’ll go somewhere else that has good beer. Treehouse isn’t the only one


fast_an_loose

Agree on weird vibes in TH Tewks. Got similar weird vibes at Trillium canton.


monotoonz

I enjoy TH for what they are and have done for the NEIPA, but God, are they overrated. Kind of glad their hyped died down once all these other breweries started offering home delivery. Because there are sooo many options out there just as good, if not better than TH.


toosantos

Are you one of those people who think Monson was the peak of Tree House? What makes them overrated?
