^ I had one of those last night as well. Still have a couple left luckily. One of the better IPAs I’ve had lately. Delicious.

This afternoons  choice coming in at 11.7% ABV 
Very tasty and not at all boozy.

I am not a beer drinker but I have been enjoying looking at the can designs. Some are really creative. Do you all have a favorite beer can in terms of the artwork or label?

A lot of craft breweries have artists that create different artwork for each unique beer. Some are really intricate and creative. I had a beer recently that I couldn’t help but think the artwork was awesome. This one here. It’s from Equilibrium in NY.  The beer is equally good.

That one looks really good bud. Does it say what kind of hops were used? Looks like a juice bomb.

That is a nice one. So many of these cans are really like works of art.

Who's an expert on Tree House? Going up to New Hampshire next weekend and realized it's on the way to where we're going, so it seems like a no-brainer to stop. What should I pick up? Looking at the online store I think I'm gonna go broke buying multiples of their mixed cases.

Ive had about 150 different TreeHouse beers so I feel confident answering any questions lol

Next week should be crazy... getting into their 8th anniversary season so be on the lookout for some limited releases

They have alot of great choices right now for mixes.  Very Green is the all time GOAT for me.  Do whatever you can to get some.  Perfect storm is also available right now which is a top 10 for me.  Spring and all of the Bright/BBBrighttt/Baby Bright series are good but dont fret if you cant snag any.  

In terms of their rotational beers, id rank them Julius>Alter Ego>Haze>Green>Sap.  

Another thing is if you're ordering on a Friday or Saturday, the website usually sells out within 5 minutes of opening at 930 am.  They close the online store from 9-930, but sometime between 8-9am you should go on and scout out what you want so you're ready to roll right at 930.

Well this is convenient and I'm glad you're here, haha...

Sweet, thanks. Yeah, I was wrestling with leaving from Philly next Sunday at like 4/5am so the kids will still be sleeping for the drive. BUT, that would mean we're passing Charlton, MA at like 9 am and they don't open 'till noon. So F it we're gonna have to make stops anyway and I'm changing my schedule to make this work lol.

I've been eyeing up these Chef's Choice mixes. Julius is about all I know. Thanks again, I'll make sure to keep an eye out.

I'm not an expert by any means but I have never been disappointed by a Tree House beer.  Mixed cases sounds like a perfect way to go.  Julius and King Julius have been a couple of my favorites from them.  And Haze in the purple can is pretty damn good from what I remember.  Just checked out their website and yeah I'd definitely spend several hundred dollars if I were near there.  But yeah you really can't go wrong with anything from Tree House.  Enjoy.

Current state of my fridge, Between shipped beers and my last TreeHouse run a few days ago

I would also add...
I’m not one of these people who thinks any beer more than 2 weeks old is “bad” and “not fresh”

but with TreeHouse I would say only get a quantity of cans that you can finish in about 3 months.  After that is when I notice they start to turn the corner and not be as good

Jearlpam0925

This has me all very excited.

Oh don't worry, beer doesn't last long in my house. I don't have the discipline nor the restraint.
