Beers

Julius

Year-Round

New England IPA

ABV6.8%

One of the beers that defined what a New England IPA is. Tree House sells almost exclusively at its own door, which is why the queue is the product experience.

King Julius

Limited

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.2%

The imperial version of the beer that defined the style. Tree House sells almost entirely at its own door, so the queue is part of the product whether they intended it or not.

Green

Year-Round

Hazy IPA

ABV7.5%

Heavily Citra-hopped and one of the core beers the brewery was built on. The naming convention is deliberately plain, which in a category full of cartoon labels reads as confidence.

Haze

Year-Round

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.2%

One of the foundational recipes. Naming a beer after the thing everyone else was apologising for turned haze from a fault into a category.

Juice Machine

Year-Round

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.2%

Named for exactly what it is. Tree House does not do metaphor, and it has never needed to.

Doppelganger

Year-Round

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.2%

The imperial counterpart to Haze. The Tree House range works as a family of variations on a handful of ideas rather than a catalogue of unrelated beers.

Alter Ego

Year-Round

Hazy IPA

ABV6.8%

Julius rebuilt with a different hop bill. Running the same base through different hops is how the brewery demonstrates what the hops are actually doing.

Very Green

Limited

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.3%

Green pushed to the limit of what dry-hopping can extract. Beyond a point more hops stop adding aroma and start adding grass, and the interest here is how close to that line it sits.

Very Hazy

Limited

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.6%

The saturated version of Haze. Tree House's release naming is a legible scale of intensity, which is more useful than most brewery nomenclature.

Emperor Julius

Limited

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.8%

The largest beer in the Julius line. Scaling malt and hops together is harder than it sounds — most breweries that try it end up with something sweet.

Doubleganger

Limited

Hazy Imperial IPA

ABV8.2%

An amplified Doppelganger, which is itself an amplified Haze. The lineage is the joke and also an accurate description.

Triple Shot

Limited

Imperial Stout

ABV9.7%

Coffee-forward and heavily conditioned on locally roasted beans. A brewery known almost entirely for hops keeping a serious stout programme running is unusual.

Double Shot

Year-Round

Imperial Stout

ABV8.2%

The everyday coffee stout. Sourcing enough specialty coffee for a beer at this volume is a supply problem before it is a brewing one.

Moment of Clarity

Limited

Milk Stout

ABV7.7%

Toasted coconut, cacao and vanilla on a milk stout base rather than an imperial one, which keeps it drinkable at a strength most pastry beers abandon.
