SOUTH DEERFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS

Just off Route 5 in Western Massachusetts, South Deerfield’s TREE HOUSE BREWING COMPANY is an expansive 100,000 square-foot “on the fly” pub taking the pressure off of its two initial sites at Sandwich and Charlton. Including a large taproom, restaurant and patio area, this professional red brick Industrial warehouse in the shadow of pastoral Mount Sugarloaf opened September, ’21.

Though I visited beforehand in July (to buy beers to go) prior to the Grand Opening, its pickup service has been incredibly busy. I discovered several impressively decadent and creamily thick Double Shot variants here, including the original coffee-enriched Quadruple Shot, QS Peanut Butter Banana, QS Peanut Butter Coconut and Cold Brew Stout plus Coco King Double IPA, Vanilla Bean Catharsis, Persevere Imperial Stout, Love Imperial Stout, Impermanence Milk Stout, Fudge Milk Stout and Tree Of Life bourbon-aged barleywine (all reviewed in Beer Index).
