Tree House Brewing Company

This place truly was a "next-level" brewery. Amazing beers, every one we tried was delicious! Also really impressed with the grounds and a lot of the seating they have up in the tree area. Food truck was also a nice bonus. 5/5 stars slam dunk

Tree House is an amazing experience. Stopped by on my way home and it was a gorgeous brewery space. Inside, outside, wow. Hard to describe. Beers are amazing, coffee, cocktails, food truck, really enjoyed it

One of the best breweries in the nation! Hands down. Great beer, family and pet friendly, did I mention amazing beer? Lots of room. Just a great place.

A full 5 star rating. A friendly and helpful staff/crew, a tremendous venue, a great retail shop and very good beer! Very impressive and we come from NC where we have the Asheville and Charlotte beer scene. Food trucks left a little early the Monday we were there but not before we had a good steak quesadilla.

I was not expecting this place to be as big as it was. It was like an entire town! Multiple bars to get your beer from, loads of people were purchasing to go cans. Seating options galore! Fire pits etc. Many families were there just gathering. No food options other than food trucks, but the food trucks were delicious. There are golf carts there. I'm assuming to drive you back out to your car, as there are multiple levels of parking lots. I was sad to see that there weren't any sour beer options, but the few other ones I had were delicious, and multiple levels of taste, depth, and flavor to them. I would definitely recommend coming to see this place!

Was super impressed with Tree House Brewery in Charlton. Obviously a huge selection of their products, but also a large pavilion with two fireplaces, fire pits, pizza oven, fish pond, kid and dog friendly walking paths, and large area for picnics and chilling in Adirondack chairs. And seeing their facility and all the brewery equipment was humbling. Can't wait to go back! 10/10 would recommend. Used my wide angle lens as much as I could. Treehouse Brewery

This place is impressive! So many options, seating and entertainment. We just stopped in for a beer but I can imagine this would be a great place to spend an afternoon. They had several food trucks but it also appeared that some people brought their own. I’m not sure on those rules but check and see if that’s what you wish to do.

Now THIS is a brewery. Oh my goodness. Tree House is the kind of place that, if you’re anywhere remotely close to the area, you stop and you get enough for your friends as well. I have been lucky enough to be a receipient of Tree House beers by such generous friends. But I’d never experienced the brewery for myself. This place channels some of the vibes I’ve gotten from places like Sierra Nevada brewing in North Carolina. It’s a bit of a spectacle to experience. It’s a large open concept. You can see the brewing tanks, have drafts, and even play pinball for free in a room furnished by the local pinball enthusiasts group. Unfortunately this place gets so busy that you are limited to 2 (weekends) to 3 (weekdays) beers per visit and they strongly encourage to-go orders be placed in advance on the day you are intending to visit. The beer is great, the ambiance is great, the service is great — but you have a short limit to enjoy any of it. It’s a machine. The whole experience is a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it. I’ll be back!

This has to be the best brewery that we have ever been to and that's saying a lot as we have been to at least 50 from across the country. First off, their beers are amazing. We enjoyed them so much that we stocked up - which was easy to do as you can order on their website, put in a time, and pick them up. The brewery is massive with a beautiful outdoor that includes a patio, lawn chairs, a koi pond, and hiking trails. They have a number of food trucks, are family and dog-friendly and host a number of events such as live music. They have a great selection of beers, cocktails, seltzers and merchandise. It can get busy on new release days, but the staff keeps things moving.

We traveled from Philadelphia to visit. My husband had been talking about this for years and we finally planned our entire family vacation around making a trip to this brewery. First the good, if you are coming for the beer, it is delicious and really worth a visit. Second note, they have golf carts that help you from the upper parking lot to the brewery which is a really nice touch. Third, the selection of food trucks was really fabulous: everything from fries to lobster rolls. Something for everyone. Lastly, staff was mostly wonderful. Now...there was a lot to be desired unfortunately. First, the beer orders are split between two areas. One area is IPAs and Stouts. The second area is Pilsners and Ales. The complexity this adds when your spouse prefers one and you prefer the other....Added layer, the lines a LONG. My husband said people call this the Disney land of breweries and the only reason is the lines. Each time I wanted a beer, I waited for an average of 20 minutes. Additionally, you have a wrist band that only allows 3 drinks per person. This was not a big issue for us with our commute, but I imagine people that want to settle in and enjoy the day may be blocked in this way. This is also one of the least kid friendly breweries we have visited. First, they have no outdoors games- no corn hole, no big connect four, really nothing to keep the focus of young kids. Second, they have a beautiful coy pond. This is obviously a big eye catcher for kids. Rather than them figuring out how to make this kid friendly, they have crew members that stand near to scold children from interacting with the fish. Really disheartening. Lastly, and obviously kind of silly but for a small child not really, where are the treehouses? When telling your kids you are going to treehouse brewery, they immediately think, treehouses, which I get. They could very easily make some very cool interactive outdoor attractions like treehouses, that would old draw the visiting kids away from the pond. We are a family of four, two young kids, that enjoy visiting breweries and we appreciate those that make their space open and friendly to all. Treehouse has some improvements to make to increased the enjoyment from families with young kids.

Absolutely love Tree House. For their craft beer selection, their beautiful property that is dog and kid friendly as well as their customer service and providing a streamlined experience even on hella busy days. My family and I have been here many times, we won't tire of it. You can check out my husband and I's ratings on Untappd for more detailed info on their beer selections. @siraeyou @thisiskeriann

Great craft beers. They also have a cocktail and coffee area for non beer drinkers. Nice brewery where it's dog friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They have different food trucks every day. Most weekends they have a live band. Ambiance is very nice. Decor is modern. Great place to bring your own food and grab a drink. Nice place for groups. Service is great. They have a system where they allow you"X" amount of drinks per visit. Beautiful brewery. Will definitely come back.

Awesome selection of really good beers. Hard to find a kolsch in USA this good. Also really fabulous service both with their knowledge of the drafts and efficiency of can pick up. Loved the chill vibe with dogs, kids and hanging out outside. High recommend brewery!

None of us were disappointed in our beer selections. Fresh & delicious! Bartender was very knowledgeable about each beer and helped guide our choices. The Tap Room is large with another outdoor area. We had a pizza to go with our beer. We all enjoyed the pizza but the beer was THE highlight. The walk from the gift shop entrance to the Tap Room was fairly long but not difficult.

This place has definitely improved over time with all their expansions! I used to think it was a little overrated and priced, but now they've created a great indoor and outdoor space that doesn't feel cramped despite the amount of people there on a weekend day. Also lines move very quickly and the ordering for to go cans is extremely efficient! They also have current draft list and daily food trucks listed on their website

Beautiful grounds and plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy one of the best breweries in the country

I rate this a 4.3. I couldn't give it the 5 stars because there are no televisions! How do we fumble this perfect opportunity of beer and football on Sundays. Don't get me wrong they have a projector that is usually off. Other than that a ton of beer options and seating. Love the fish outside. Employees are nice and can pour properly. Can only get 3 beers, what's a guy gotta do for a few more. #GiveMeTheKeys

I am more of a lager person than an IPA enthusiast. I live near the I-210 in LA, close to the Miller Coors factory in Irwindale. You can see the big canister every time you drive by on the I-210. So, I usually drink Miller Lite, which I consider a local beer. Coco has repeatedly told me about Tree House IPA. She recounted how she and her sister-in-law brought her mother to Charlton to buy the IPA during a snowy winter day. She described the excellent taste of the beer and the fun trips they made from New York State to Charlton, MA. According to her, Tree House is the best IPA in the world. This time, Coco brought me to visit her mother for her 80th birthday celebration. Coco's sister-in-law, Jiajia, mentioned that there would be some seasonal special flavors before Thanksgiving. The day before Thanksgiving, I ordered the "All Crispies, All the Time!" pack online, which contains 24 different flavored cans, 22 tall cans, and two normal-sized cans. Jiajia drove Coco, her mother, and me from New Windsor to Charlton. We crossed the Hudson River, passing through Southbury, Middlebury, Waterbury, Southington, Farmington, and Hartford, Connecticut. We then crossed the Connecticut River, headed northeast, and passed through Vernon, Tolland, then Union, entering Massachusetts. After passing Sturbridge, we reached Charlton, MA. Without GPS, you would definitely miss the entrance, which is on a plain road without any obvious markers. Fortunately, Jiajia, an old hand at this route, knew the way well. It took several minutes to drive from the entrance to the parking lot of the brewery. The facility combines a bar lodge with the manufacturing area without any strict partitions, which would be prohibited by China's food safety laws. For me, it's okay; I like having the opportunity to see the canisters. My graduate major is Packaging Engineering, so I'm familiar with the details of making cans from aluminum rolls, filling the beer, adding the can cover, and sealing it. I was eager to see the process. The factory part wasn't operational at that time, of course, since it was 6 pm the day before Thanksgiving. The hall was lively but not too crowded. We went to the counter for pickup; there was no waiting. Jiajia had pre-ordered four packs, Coco's mother and I had one pack each. In total, we got 24x6, six cases put on a trailer, and the workers helped us load them into the car. I realized that my variety pack didn't include their famous cans, so I walked to the kiosk and ordered their famous orange Julius and Green. We had a three-hour drive back, so I decided not to drink any craft beer on site. There was no food in the hall, but there were two food trucks outside, one selling tempura, which looked very delicious. The fried onion rings and chicken wings didn't look as good as the prawn tempura, probably from another food truck. At 11:30 pm the night before Thanksgiving, we finished our dinner, and Jiajia was too tired to chat, so she drove back to her home. I was left with more than 50 cans of IPA, and I'm not an IPA lover. I shared a can of Green with Coco, using the two new beer glasses we bought at the brewery. The beer was a hazy bright amber color and looked very beautiful. The taste was amazing; for me, the less bitter, the better. It tasted like juice but wasn't sweet. Green is an American IPA with 7.5% ABV. I opened it first, thinking it would have less alcohol than the Julius. Green typically implies it's greener than orange, and Julius comes in an orange-colored can, right? Later, I found out Julius is 6.8% ABV and is juicier than Green. Green has a citrus flavor, and Julius combines mango, peach, passionfruit, and citrus juice. Oh, now I know why they call it Green - I guess all the tangerines were green before turning other colors. On Thanksgiving Day, I cooked dinner. Coco's mother couldn't consume alcohol for health reasons, and Jiajia doesn't drink alcohol at all. Fortunately, the pack Coco's mother bought was the Holiday Hero Mix, which includes 24 cans but also contains eight non-alcoholic drinks: two kinds of seltzer and two kinds of coffee, two cans each. I tried a sip of the Monochrome Blend Cold Brew coffee, the best cold brew I've ever had in the United States. It's fresh and clear, tasting more like Japanese charcoal-roasted coffee, or at least it has an oriental coffee flavor. All the cans in my pack were labeled with stickers. I found that only Julius, King Julius, Julius Machine, and Green had printed cans, probably because these best-selling items were pre-printed. Most of the rest had sticker labels. Two days after Thanksgiving, Coco and I had enjoyed more than a dozen Tree House IPAs, none of which were bitter. Most were turbid and had a juicy flavor. I liked all of them; so far, I haven't found one I dislike. We're heading back to LA soon, and I hope there's a chance to visit Tree House next year. The New Year is coming.

They do a good job accommodating a lot of people. Beer is excellent - but no flights??

How do you only have two people casually pouring beer while the line is out the door and you have people waiting 40 minutes for a couple of beers. I know the ownership clearly doesn't give a damn and they basically do whatever they want because they print money here but this is my last visit. I'll give my money to Trillium from now on, thank you.

Beer pilgrimage! Nearly every time the Tall Man and I drive along route 90, we try to go to Treehouse for our semi-annual (or multi-annual) beer pick up. It's an ideal spot to stop right at the border with Connecticut, and we've recommended it to nearly everyone who drives to visit Boston. The brewery lives in a large wood-clad building that welcomes you like a retreat center -- which it basically is for its many faithful followers. There's plenty of parking and tons of seating indoors as well as Adirondack chairs outside for warmer days. It's pretty easy to pick up cans, either by ordering online and selecting a pick up time (the preferred method, especially if you want more than a case of beer) or ordering on site (ok for a case or less). You can also enjoy draft beers or coffee and sit at one of the many tables in their vast space -- just can't open cans there. I must confess that I don't drink much beer these days, but I can appreciate a good brew and am surrounded by beer lovers. And these beer lovers (including the Tall Man) love love Treehouse. Yes they're known for their IPAs, but we've just stocked up on a bunch of holiday selections for a week's worth of family gatherings. The beers do get kind of expensive per can, but they are crowd pleasers in the best way. If you don't drink much alcohol like me, though, there's coffee! Treehouse started roasting beans a few years ago and have hot coffee and cold draft lattes (or cans of both). I got a draft oatmilk latte and thoroughly enjoyed the creamy caffeine kick. Love that they have vegan milk! Their straight up coffee is quite good on its own too. We got a four pack of their maple spice lattes to go, which I'll enjoy this week. I'll also note that while they don't have their own food, there was a food truck outside. It's also a relatively kid friendly place (lots of room to roam), so we weren't the only ones with a little one. Changing tables in both gender bathrooms. Treehouse is a happy start or conclusion to any road trip. They only sell their beers on location, which for us makes it even more special.

The rating is entirely saved by the property itself. Very dog friendly with an exorbitant amount of space inside, outside with Adirondack chairs everywhere, and a tent of more tables. I wish the outdoor space had more tables as it is literally just dozens of Adirondack chairs so tough to play games or eat. There's a trailhead nearby which is interesting. And the koi pond is a cool addition. Luckily we went midday Thursday, which wasn't the most busy as the reviews of busy days seem like a nightmare. There are a ton of beer options, especially IPAs. I didn't find any of the beers that interesting and it's tough when there are really zero descriptions of the beers on the extensive menu. Taste-wise, everything was very fine. I'm not sure why everything has such incredible ratings on Untappd and felt bad disagreeing with a lot of them. Found it difficult to get a glasses of water, which is counterintuitive to their stance on limiting drinks to three per person. To that end, this is an interesting concept as they mark off your bracelet until you've reached three drinks. Unsure if this limits people to three drinks or encourages them to get three drinks when they wouldn't have normally? Finally, the service was a real bummer. With so many employees, I assumed people would be into advocating for the beer. The first bartender seemed confused when asked what was popular and gave one recommendation. Sorry to that guy for traveling from out of state to visit such a well recommended establishment and looking for guidance. The second was equally curt and disinterested in helping us. Maybe they're used to just large crowds and moving people along? Either way, worth trying if you have a dog and want to spend time outside but if looking for good beer and anything else may want to look around.

Five stars for the beer. Probably some of the best craft beers on the planet. The venue is also incredibly beautiful. So why 4 stars and not 5? I had to remove a star to account for the ridiculous rules of this brewery. The place is like a state park with beautiful grounds. There is a fish pond, waterfalls, hiking trails, fire pits, and plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors. The brewery itself is 53k square feet! However, there is a strict 3 beer limit per person that is subject to change at any time to 2 or even one, a confusing ordering system, and you'll have to decide which bar to go to for your beer as they only offer some at one bar and others at the other. The main business here I believe is the cans to go. People travel from all over the US to stock up. This is yet another bizarre process. You scan a QR code or use a kiosk to place your to go order and pay. Then, you walk to the back of the brewery and check-in. Your beer is brought out and an employee validates the order with you. After you receive your order they lend you a dolly or hand truck to bring the beer to your car. If you watch the parking lot you'll see people rolling out with 10-20 cases of the coveted liquid gold, likely on a mission for friends and family to bring back this addictive and delicious fermented juice.

Cool place, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Food trucks, beer and cocktails. Good thing as I am not a beer drinker. Saw dogs and kids, families and friends. Fun thing to do on a weekend!

My 2nd favorite of the treehouse locations - this one has a gorgeous sprawling outdoor area with fountains, sunny seats, and a shaded pavilion. Love that they're dog friendly! Indoors you can view the brewing stuff, which is cool too. Beers are always plentiful and out of this world - now they have cocktails and seltzers too. I loved the mai tai in a jar and grabbed a few to go. They often have food trucks, we loved the bacon one and of course ice cream! Service is as fast as it can be with as busy as they are on weekends! I always stop by when I'm in the area.

Awesome selection of brews, complex is huge! Food trucks out front, coffee brewery, the pickup area is great fast and efficient. Order online walk to the back give your name and order number and you they bring it out to you. Large seating area inside and outside beautiful grounds all around. Very impressive.

Not sure why I never thought to leave a review for Tree House Brewing prior to now as I've been a regular since 2016. Since then there's only a handful of their brews I haven't had the chance to try. Like Pokémon, you have to catch 'em all ;) The thing I enjoy the most about THBC besides the delicious beer is their dedication to improving. They constantly reinvest and reinvent their spaces to streamline the experience for customers. Years ago, the lines were outrageous and now they're almost nonexistent (Saturdays can still be hectic). As for the beer, not many breweries can get all the varieties dialed in the way these folks do. I mean nowadays there's a haze shop on every corner but finding a good Pilsner or beligian quad can be difficult without getting imports. These guys can brew just about any style and get it right. If you're looking for a hazy NEIPA you can't go wrong with haze or very hazy. The hold on to sunshine is an incredible peanut butter milk stout. If you're at the Charlton location, the traditional beer bar on the left offers amazing side pull lagers and ales. I was at Charlton last night and they are installing all new sod to make the landscape as pristine as the interior as it gets a ton of foot traffic. There's always food trucks and they have a pizza oven that one day they might actually use lol. This place is basically Disney world for beer. They have some great musical acts and world class sunsets. They're definitely worth the trip!!

This brewery is one of the best I've been to, it's huge and beautiful inside and out. On a Saturday afternoon it was pretty busy but there's plenty of seating so it wasn't too hard to find a spot for our group of 6. They had food trucks, donuts for sale and live music. There's two beer lines, one for lagers and another for IPAs/stouts. If you're into these types of beers you'll love it here but I'm more into fruity sours. Nonetheless I was able to find cocktails that I enjoyed, one was a spiked frozen matcha cocktail and the other a coquito for the holiday season, both were delicious! Unfortunately they don't offer flights. There was also an outside lodge beautifully decorated with lights for a cozy winter ambiance where they had a menu of spiked hot chocolate and lattes. It's BYOF and even dog friendly! Highly recommend!

Amazing beer. Super clean place. An abundance of seating. The staff are really nice. Must get Julius.

My Connecticut friend always brings me back some Tree House when she visits home and man is it unrivaled in terms of New England IPAs. I do wish the brewery exported their beers and made it more readily available outside of its few locations throughout the country (or at least loosened their limits on beer you're able to take home), but this brewery really helped NEIPAs "click" for me.

Boy this place does some business! We've been to the South Deerfield location, but this is the first time we are here. It's pretty impressive how much business they do here. We came here around noon on a Saturday and the parking lot was almost full on the first parking area. Big outdoor space and open space inside with lots of wooden picnic tables and high top tables/chairs. You pick your own seats and there are beer stations where you order (one side the traditional beers, the other side IPAs & Stouts). Each person is limited to 3 drinks only, no tasting portions. Sooo many choices of beer! They are known for their IPAs, but personally I love stouts, porters, and browns. I tried the Passion fruit IPA (actually not bad for IPA), the Grizzly Bear brown (tasted more like a porter, I liked it), and the Chocolate imperial stout (yum). Everything was solid. I also love that it's super family and dog friendly. They also had a winter outdoor bar under a heated tent. But the bar there serves only mixed drinks. Oh and they don't serve food but does have 2 food trucks outside for food options. So come prepared and you can also pack/bring your own food too, especially if you have little ones. Of course the beer is not cheap, but it's a really solid brewery and we'll definitely be back to taste more yummy beer!

Continues to be the coolest brewery I've ever experienced. Truly like an beer theme park. Sucks that you can only get two beers, but also respectable. So many experimental brews, you could come back every day for a month and probably still not try them all! This time, I tried the Habanero infused brew as well as the Marshmallow imperial stout. Left stumbling, lol. They also have a huge to-go selection and a fascinating process of making your own personal box, it's fun to watch! Best $16 I've ever spent.

The ambiance was relaxing and inviting. We visited on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and we Lee surprised that it was not overly busy. The beers were amazing. Can't go wrong but with 3 pours per customers choose wisely. Food truck variety was nice. Food was good. Props for having tater tots.

Do you enjoy beer? Are you from New England or like New England style IPAs and love beers full of flavor and interesting hops? Do you like IPAs, DIPAs, Porter in its various forms, lager in its various forms, pilsner in its various forms, stout in you guessed it, as well as ales and barleywines...Get yourself to here!!! Tonight I enjoyed on tap a Peach & Cream IPA and Stately - Earl Grey Mixed Fermentation Table Beer. I would have purchased both for consumption at home, but only Stately was currently available for purchase. For dinner I had chili and cheese fries from Red's Street Kitchen food truck. One serving is probably enough for two people to share. As someone who has been coming to Tree House Brewing in Charlton, MA for about as long as it's been here, I adore what they have done recently to create an easy to order on tap brews and cans/bottles to go situation. Here are the options: kiosks within the building/brewery from which you can place drink ticket orders and order cans/bottles to go with tap to pay or place an order on your phone before/after you arrive at the brewery for drinks and cans/bottles. Just remember, credit cards are the preferred payment method here. Also, gratuity is listed under "Glassware and Gratuity" on the in house ordering system and online...remember to tip your server Another important tip when coming for a visit to Charlton... Monday through Thursday are low traffic which means easy access to the bar and can/bottle pick up. The taproom is rather empty as seen in my pictures. Also, the option for up to three drinks per person. Friday afternoon/evening through Sunday early afternoon are typically extremely busy and only two drinks per person on those days. Be sure to check the Tree House website for the food truck(s) that will be available during your visit or feel free to bring your own food to enjoy inside or outside. I really like bringing a grinder from my local deli and some kettle chips to enjoy with my brews. Hey, you do you CHEERS!!!

Overall: Really cool place. Enormous property. If you like beers, especially IPA, you have to go here at least once, even though it can be kind of a hassle compared to other breweries. It's literally like going to Disney. Been here a couple times. Last time was about 2 years ago and I just picked up cans. This time I went on a weekend, had 2 draft pours and bought cans to go. Their draft pour process is frustrating and my reason for not 5 stars, which is unfortunate because I think the process is in place due to their success and they need to control the flow somehow, but I think it can be improved. Beers: Delicious IPAs. Highly rated for a reason. They offer drafts to consume on the property and sell cans to go. Parking: Difficult to park up top near the brewery, so had to park at the bottom. On the plus side, there's a golf cart shuttle running back and forth, so it's not really an issue if you park down at the bottom. Wait a minute and someone will pick you up. Draft Pour Process: As you might see in other reviews, it's a real pain to order a beer. Especially on weekend. You have to pre pay draft tickets online, then you wait in a line to get to the bar (15mins?), then you see the beer list, then decide on a beer. It'd be a little more efficient if you chose the beer you want at the time of paying online. It'd reduce that time where people get to the bar and then go through the decision making process. Maybe make an option for quick service to skip ahead those people that hold up bartender time asking questions etc. I ordered my 2 beers at the same time to avoid waiting in line twice. Can Sale Process: You order at a kiosk like McDonalds. I think this is ok. But, the issue is you are in another line for 10 mins after paying at the kiosk. You wait in front of a conveyor belt, they'll yell out your name, then verify your order. It's generally efficient though. Maybe they should do the kiosks for draft pours? Atmosphere: The place is gorgeous. It's almost like a national park with trails, etc. beautiful wooded area. Hundreds of large comfy Adirondack chairs scattered all over the property. There are lots of grumpy old man "stay off lawn" signs. It's peaceful if you get away from the covered area where most people seem to congregate. I'm going to try bringing a tent and camping out next time!

Such a cool spot. Very busy on the weekends, but still enough space to sit down and enjoy a some good beer. Indoor seating, outdoor seating, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, koi fish pond, hiking trails, biking trails, food trucks, etc. parking may fill up but there are constantly sending shuttles to pick people up so they don't have to walk far. Their drafts change quite often so you will most likely always be able to come and try a new beer. They do limit you to three draft beers and or cocktails while you are there. But you can buy unlimited cans of beer to take home and share! I've been to most of their locations and this one is very special! Also Dog Friendly!

Atmosphere: lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Very cool vibes!! Service: we bought our beverage tickets online prior to arriving. We went on a Friday afternoon. During the week, I believe you can get 3 tickets and on the weekend 2 tickets. Everyone who worked there was very friendly. However, no one will be taking your order here from tables. You wait on line and then place your order once you get to the bar. They then mark off your wristband with how many drinks you order. And although you can get 3 tickets during the week, you can only order 2 at a time. The system was weird but overall it was okay Food: There were 2 foodtrucks outside the day we went. We got chicken parm sliders and meatball sliders. The chicken parm was WHOMP. The meatball sliders were okay. Not the best food but got the job done. Drink: my husband enjoyed all the beer he got and we bought some to take home. I also got some of the coffees. The seltzer I got there wasn't good.

We came here at meet up with Friends as it was a halfway point between CT and NH. First visit and it was awesome! Treehouse has sooo many good options for Beer and the list is endless. The location is great as it's in the middle of nowhere :) It's just surrounded by acres and acres woods. Forgot to take pics of my Lobster rolls and beers!

Hey, man! So, I've been hearing about this place called Tree House for, like, forever, and I've been itching to try their beer, you know what I'm sayin'? And let me tell ya, this place is a total trip, man! The beer is outta this world! I had like 57 beers I wanted to try before I even got here, bro. They got 'em on tap and in those to-go cans. The ratings for their brews are off the charts, man. Like, in the highest galaxy, if you know what I mean! Now, here's the deal, this brewery is set up in a totally different way than most places you'll visit. First, since they get so jam-packed, you gotta buy your beer in advance, man. Order it from their website, and it actually speeds up the lines, which is kinda cool. Lucky for me, there wasn't much of a line when I came in the middle of the day on a weekday. But don't get me wrong, it was still buzzin' with hundreds of cars in the lot. This place is huge, dude, and they can fit a ton of people without it feeling too cramped. But word on the street is that it can get pretty wild on the weekends, you dig? Second, if you wanna grab some brews to go, you gotta order that in advance too, bro. On a slow day, maybe you can do it on your phone while you're here, but they make it clear that they can't guarantee that if things get busy. So, it's best to plan ahead and order in advance, especially if you're rollin' in on the weekend. Trust me, you don't wanna miss out on the goodness they got in those to-go cans. People are rollin' dolly's of beer to their cars, man. It's a sight to behold! The vibe of this place is groovy, man. They got three main areas to hang out. Inside, they got tables and bars, but when I was there on this beautiful day, nobody was using 'em. They also got this big covered outdoor pavilion where people were chillin'. And let me tell ya, they got tables and Adirondack chairs scattered all over the gardens and woods area. It's like a trip, man. The grounds here rank as number two of all the hundreds of breweries I've visited, right after Sierra Nevada, but the beer they're slingin' here is light years ahead, dude! Oh, and get this, I heard they have some pretty famous bands show up from time to time, man. So, you might wanna look that up, but sadly, none of that action happened during my visit. Bummer, right? So, if you're lookin' for an epic beer adventure, you gotta hit up Tree House, my friend. The beer is mind-blowing, the vibes are groovy, and it's a place you don't wanna miss. Peace, love, and good brews, man!

Beautiful brewery on a large campus with hard to find beer since they do not do distribution to stores or restaurants. We went on a Monday afternoon and it was relatively not that busy, but there was plenty of people coming to buy cases of beer. The location itself is pretty large. You will notice there's a large parking lot, and an additional parking lot incase it gets busy, multiple walking trails and plenty of seating. They also have a food truck most of the time so there is options for eating. They are also dog friendly, which is always positive. The reason I give this place four stars is because the process to get a drink is very confusing even for someone who's younger like me. You start off by either buying drink tickets on your phone via a QRS code or via a screen in the main building which they only have two and one wasn't working. You are allowed to get 3 drinks, which is known as drink tickets, so 3 drink tickets. We were super confused so my husband ended up buying 3 drink tickets for beer only and I got one beer ticket and the key lime pie cocktail. You pay for these ahead of time, there is no way to tip in the app that I could see, and then you use your phone the rest of the time to access a code for them to scan for the drink tickets. After visiting, we understand the drink process, but after arriving after a very long car ride we were just confused and irritated as one of our phones was having a hard time loading the link and there was a line at the screens. There are 2 different bars which I didn't really understand but the bar you go to depends on the drink you get. The drinks are very high alcohol percentage, so it makes sense why they only want you to have three. They did not have a beer flight option that I saw but you can ask to taste a beer before picking it. The key lime pie was very good. My husband didn't end up getting his 3rd drink since the other ones were so filling and he wished that if the process was easier to understand then he would have opted to try one of their cocktails. They also have a nice merch section with lots of different options. Overall are very beautiful brewery with good drinks, lots of room to roam and super dog friendly with a mildly confusing ordering process :)

Far and away the best brewery in Massachusetts - this place has the ambience of dreams. It's massive and has so many tables and bars and staff! Some great food trucks too. Best actual beers I've ever had and usually over 50 different selections. Make sure to get an IPA!

This is like a craft beer lovers resort. This was my first visit & I can't say I was really looking forward to it since everyone talks about the lines, the wait, tickets & ordering. We went on a Monday & that's the time to go! No lines! I know, buying the tickets & ordering by phone is probably to expedite & simplify things, but I think cause it's different it seems complicated, but once you've done it, it is really easy. I wish they did flights since there's sooooo many options to pick from & only the 16oz pours can be split into half pours. I really enjoyed the beers we tried & the atmosphere. You can sit inside, outside at tables, or in Adirondack chairs in the lawn. And, there was a food truck that had Greek food that was really tasty.

Don't come here on the weekends. They set up the property to be inviting (lots of chairs, great facility) but they completely deter you from actually enjoying a beverage there by having only 2 bars and one employee serving beer at each. This leads to an hour long line.....clearly their priority is for you to buy cans and leave.

Wow! What a place. It's a CAMPUS with multiple buildings. Very efficient. Spotless. Many choices of beers, food, merchandise. Worth the trip from Hartford, for sure!

Delicious beer, nice gift shop, and a lobster food truck. Service was excellent. Cool vibe. Great view of the distillery. Definitely recommend.

Full confession: I am a beer geek. I can talk for hours about beer. But I'm not a beer bro, understand? Generally speaking, most IPAs are drain pours for me, no lie. Hazy? Juicy? Dank? What are you even saying, brohemian? So yeah, Treehouse has built their empire on Julius and nearly infinite variants of NEIPAs, DIPAs, and their ilk. But...let me let you in on a secret: there's more to Treehouse than cult offerings for hopheads. In fact, there's a mind blowing near-encyclopedic offering of styles to be found here. Lagers, porters, stouts, sours, and the most amazing thing? EVERYTHING I'd had to date so far is fantastic. That's an almost unheard of feat for any brewery to pull off. Even weirdo niche things like their Kentucky Common recipe will cause me to wax poetic. And the best part? If you're like me, then there's an "express lane" here just for you. The "classics" bar is the "anything but IPA" serving space, and it's probably just a short line of dudes like me and you, and no one says the word "dank" out loud while waiting in line. Yes, it does feel like airport security screening when you walk in, but the staff are way friendlier than TSA personnel. Buy your drink tickets electronically, grab a wristband, you're good to go. The production facility on view is enormous, which perhaps explains how Treehouse can deliver so many styles. Beer ordering and pick up on site is fast, efficient and painless. A really awesome Asian fusion food truck was on hand while we were there, cuz you need something to soak up the suds, amirite?

Super cool space with a huge amount of indoor and outdoor seating. While they did have food trucks, you can bring your own food and games. As others have mentioned, they have a pretty different ordering system where you buy drink tickets ahead of time (they had a 3 drink limit when we were there). All the beers cost $8 but the size of the pour differs based on the beer you choose. I loved how many options there were! But then also almost immediately sad that they don't do flights so you can try a bunch. That being said, the bartender was friendly on answering any questions and even said if we really didn't like a beer after tasting, he could get us another one.

What a nice chill brewery this is. I came here in October and the crisp NE air plus delicious beers is everything! The land that this brewery is on gives people alot of space to spread out and is a great place to go with bigger groups. The beers were as I said delicious. I do not remember which ones we tried though. The Staff was very friendly and helped me pick a beer I would enjoy. 100% recommend this beautiful brewery. I know they have a few other locations, but I have not been to them, so I can not speak about them. I am sure they are just as awesome though.

First of all, you have to get up early day of to book your spot in advance. Can be a difficult surprise if you aren't in the know and that's for all locations. This site is amazing. It's huge and gorgeous! My group chose to seat outside further up into the wood line, but the options are vast between inside, along the front, along the side, sort of the back side?? You get the idea. They have two separate lines which can back up. The left is the pils/lager line, while the right is for your hazies and stouts. I tried several of the hazies which have to be the best I've had. Period. Soft, juicy, bursting with flavor. Also tried the tree of life Barley which was robust, smooth, and also full of flavor. Their stouts were the right body, sweet and *chef kiss* Highly recommend this gem, but make sure to plan ahead.

This is probably the most famous brewery in Massachusetts, we've heard it gets mobbed here so we were avoiding it mainly for that reason. But, we really wanted to see what all the hype was about so we ventured out recently on a Sunday for noon opening to beat the crowds. We pulled up the drive about 10-15 minutes before opening and there was already a line waiting to pull into the parking lot. After we got our car parked we were instructed by the parking lot attendants to get in line to wait for opening. We were about the 5th party in line and were surprised to see how long the line got while we were waiting. An employee came around checking ID'S and putting wristbands on those over 21. When the doors opened there were employees directing people as they came in to where they were going and how to buy online beer tickets. So, you don't use money there, all sales are online and each person can buy 3 tickets. This was our first problem...my husband is a flip phone user to this day, he has no interest whatsoever in a smart phone, so I had to order the beers and you can only order 3 at a time. We decided to get 2 beer tickets for now (we only get 2 beers each) and get 2 more later. Okay, we could manage that. Next is you go to one of 2 bars depending if you like classics (Pilsner, Lager, Wheat etc) or if you want IPA's you go to the other bar. We like the classics so we headed over to the classics bar. This is our biggest complaint here... there is no menus at all. The only menu is on your phone. At our age 2 people trying to read a menu on a little phone is ridiculous!!! So the very kind bartender asked what we liked and gave us some suggestions. I have no idea what it was actually. Would love if they had flights to try a bunch of samples as I hated the beer we picked. And dang that beer was BIG and HEAVY... it took me both hands to pick it up! After we finished our beers I looked at my husband and said "you want to get out of here and go to our favorite brewery for our second beer"? He agreed and we left. This brewery is beautiful, it's really big and had beautiful outdoor seating (if it wasn't winter) and the people who worked here were fabulous and so very helpful and nice.

Sadly overrated, lines for beer were super long. Couldn't get samples so ended up getting beers we didn't like. The ambiance was super loud. Did barking and it was very dirty.

To put it simple, this is Disney land for beer lovers!!! It's like when the people who made this Brewery were discussing what it should include, they decided to be comprehensive as hell. This place is not just a huge building where beer is made. This place has fire pits, food trucks, brick oven pizza, a big canopy, lawn chairs both in and outside of the woods, biking and hiking trails, and let's not forget the fire pits!!! I was blown away when I came here. I wish I could've stayed here with a tent and called it a day lol. The people here are really chill, as soon as you get here they ask you if your taking beer to go or drinking there. If your taking beer to go you have to go on their website and purchase it online. After purchasing it online you show that to another set of people at the register and they collect your beer for you. They call your name out, give you your beer, and send you on your way. Your not allowed to drink cans on the premises so of your gonna get beer to go make sure you drink BEFORE you decide to take some home. I didn't drink the the there because I had to fly but I plan on coming here with an RV and making a journey out of it! Please come visit, your won't regret it. Keep in mind this Brewery is kind of in the middle of knowhere so plan accordingly.

Heard great things about this place so decided to make the trip to check this place out. When you drive in, you can tell it is going to be a massive brewery. The parking lot is huge but luckily we got there early so we could find parking. When you walk in you get introduced to a friendly staff that are happy to assist you. Inside they have multiple sections where you are able to get your drinks. They have beers, coffee, and cocktails; something for everyone. They have plenty of outdoor seating and have trucks next to the brewery if you want to get food. Live music was playing outside when we were there. Beautiful outdoor area. The beers are delicious! I asked for the most popular one and they said Julius. Honestly, wasn't my favorite but the other options were delicious! They have a good variety of different types of beers as well, so if you're not an IPA person they'll have stouts or even cocktails you can choose from. My biggest downside for this place is you're only allowed to buy 3 drinks total for the day. I understand their rationale behind it but it was frustrating since I came a long way and was only able to try 3 beers. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking this place out.

Been coming here for a few years and will continue coming here for as long as I am able. Beautiful brewery with a flavor and style to satisfy anyone's beer preference. They take good care of you here and have really streamlined ordering drafts or cans. And they even provide hand carts for when you fall in love with the beers and buy 6 flats of your favorite style. Love this place and it will always be a mandatory stop for me when I'm in the area.

The most idyllic setting to enjoy a pint or two or three. The beer is delicious as many have reviewed in great detail, including Beer Advocate. What I love the most is the distinct yet subtle hint of mango and peach in those beers. The aftertaste is simply delightful. The grounds of this brewery is very relaxing and well-maintained. Feel like having a beer siting on an Adirondack chair deep in the woods? There's a seat for that. Feel like sitting under the pavilion and watch all the action? There's a seat for that. It is the perfect place to get a nice buzz on. My only ask is that it also serves food. Currently there are two food trucks which is sufficient for meeting basic hunger needs. But if more offerings of food could be had, this place would have it all.

Such a gem! Came here to pick up a bunch of beers my boyfriend ordered and definitely didn't expect it to be this huge. The property was gorgeous, with lots of adirondack chairs out on the lawn, koi fish in the pond, and super kind people helping you out. Love all the unique flavors they offer, as well as the cool can designs. Cant wait to try all the Julius variations!

Fantastic hangout. Be it a craft beer, a cocktail, or just a cool place to hang out the Tree House hits it. Super cool brewery with indoor/outdoor seating scattered about the premise. That flexibility takes weather fluctuations out of the equation. Sit in the sun or sit in the shade, throwdown a blanket or walk about, you have options. Read a book, chat with your friends, or listen to some live music because you'll find it all right here. We did enjoy a couple of cocktails as we ventured about this brewery oasis. Zero complaints.
