The releases from this point through the end of the week are pretty wild - let's lock in.
Komorebi, our Japanese Rice Lager, was hugely popular in 2025 so we are running it back in a big way. The addition of rice in the grain bill results in an incredibly clean and crispy Lager due to its high fermentability, mild flavor, and subtle floral notes.
Have you heard of the Edo period of Japanese history? After more than a century of civil war, Japan turned inward. Starting in the 1630s, the Tokugawa shogunate sealed off the country, leaving only a handful of tightly controlled gateways to the outside world. Chief among them was a small artificial island in Nagasaki harbor, where Dutch traders were the lone Europeans allowed to do business. Their sailors certainly partook in beer, but to the Japanese population the beverage was essentially unknown. That changed in 1868. When Japan opened its ports to the world, beer took hold fast, and it has held a place alongside more traditional drinks ever since.
The famous Sapporo Brewery opened in 1876, and Asahi in 1889. Both of these breweries incorporated rice into their lagers, and we are so glad they did. This style of lager belongs on the Mount Rushmore of the crispiest beers. There's nothing cooler than tradition and terroir colliding to create something new.
Wander Wakatu is our dry-hopped Helles that pops with intense notes of lime zest and floral spring flowers. The ever-crispy, yet formidable malt character of a Helles is the perfect canvas to showcase singular hop character!
It might seem unusual to dry-hop a traditional German beer with New Zealand hops, but Wakatu actually has noble hop origins. When it was first introduced in the late ’80s, it was known as Hallertau Aroma.
Wakatu carries unmistakable New Zealand tropicality but is delicate enough that it’s a wonderful addition to classic lagers. It’s worth noting that this incredible and slightly underutilized hop’s name comes from the Māori word “Whakatu,” the true name of the Nelson region where so many of our favorite hops come from.
Common session beer W.
Baby Bright is a session IPA that bursts with tangerines, apricot, and candied grapefruit!
The definiition of having your cake and eating it too. Our clean and snappy series known as Bright is justy too good to not have two (or three). All the hoppiness of a proper IPA but in a sessionable format.
It's been six years (six years) since we last saw this gem. Your favorite Tree Hosue beer is never retired, just sleeping. Load the cooler and the spare fridge.
Alter Ego hitting all the right notes 🫐🥭
As we enter our anniversary season, new beers and novel riffs on classic favorites begin to enter the rotation. More than a decade ago, Alter Ego was one of those "one-offs" - a beer brewed identically to Julius, but with a different blend of hops on the cold side.
Over the years, it's only gotten better as we've refined our processes and incorporated hand-selected hop lots that bring even more character to its aromatics. You never know what's going to stick around and earn a place in the core beer trophy case, but every now and then, a one-off becomes something much more. 🍻💙
Mirror, mirror on the wall, what is the juiciest IPA of all?
💙 🪞 🩵
As if our darling Alter Ego wasn't juicy enough!
We conditioned this core Single IPA on peach and guava purée, lending a burst of sweet stone fruit aroma and a creamy finish from tropical
The Greenest Green!
If you look at our core line of beers and all you see is Green, this beer is for you. Hopped until it becomes indistinguishable from ripe pineapple, it’s the utmost expression of Australian Galaxy hops.
A few years back, we started one of our most ambitious projects in the brewhouse: the Find the Limit series, where we increased the hopping regimen to find the threshold of hoppiness. Each successive batch created more loss (beer absorbed by the hop plant matter) until more than half of our original knockout was lost to the hops. It could have easily been done in small experimental batches, but we wanted to bring everyone along for the ride. Our fansare hop fanatics, homebrewers, and beer aficionados who deserve to experience the journey together.
Progress on the The Greenest Green was made possible from lessons learned in that series: how to fully saturate a beer, where the line between bitter and vegetal takeover sits, and how to introduce a massive charge from the kettle through subsequent stages of fermentation.
It's something else man.
The Greenest Green's tropical aroma gets a dose of real thing. . . we took a small portion of the base beer and conditioned it on buckets of pineapple purée!
You'd have to be insane or a genius to think the Greenest Green needs more of a pineapple kick.
We are open to both; either way, you're going to love it.
One is a time machine to the earliest days of Tree House. This batch of Julius is brewed in accordance with the timing, temperatures, and water profile of our first commercial batch, taken directly from our notes on May 29, 2012. Julius was almost two years old at that point, but this batch would be the first that placed our livelihoods on the line.
This was the jumping-off point, and little did we know that before long we would be making the same beer on a state-of-the-art German brewhouse with hops we selected by hand across the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, we’ve maintained the same obsessive note-taking and nudged our various processes a hair here and a hair there, not to change its character but to refine it and lock in its best qualities. Julius is a beer that is never done, and one that we believe can and should always be better.
Julius today is the best it’s ever tasted, a culmination of ten thousand bricks laid one by one resulting in the House we have today. This was a cool one to revisit. For all the artists out there, don't throw out your old notebooks!
We knight thee a protector of our hoppy lands ⚔️🏰
Guardian of the Green is Double IPA pouring a luminous orange hue into the glass. Warrior extract holds the line with firm notes of pine and bitter citrus, giving way to a novel blend of juicy hops. Paradisi and Mosaic burst with aromas of passionfruit, mango, and creamy guava, while a mysterious charge of Eggers Full Moon Harvest adds waves of lychee, white grape, and mangosteen.

We crafted super charged Juice Machine for a massive wave of tropical hoppiness. Our Juice Machine process creates a hefty malt back bone for a monstrous hop charge, and Ultimate Machine amplifies these hand-selected hops to the max.
Ultimate juicy hop nirvana.
This batch of Wanderer is dry-hopped with hand-selected Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Pouring a brilliant gold in the glass, it presents aromas of juicy citrus, floral tea, and a pleasantly grassy finish.
Traveling down from Montana’s Glacier National Park, past the Salish Mountains and through Flathead National Forest, you’ll find a truly special farm: Flathead Valley Hops. Nestled among stunning American varieties, it was a German hop that caught our attention.
These are the moments we geek out on as brewers. Hallertau Mittelfrüh is used heavily in European lagers, and it is the parent of a multitude of American hops. One of its more recent offshoots for example, Hallertau Blanc, exhibits sweet fruit and white grape characteristics more commonly associated with New Zealand varieties. So when we find the original variety, grown somewhere we wouldn’t expect, it brings its character into sharp focus on our palates.
It's what 'craft' is all about.

Fifteen years ago today we posted up in the Brimfield barn for an afternoon of brewing. Little did we know it would be an afternoon that left its mark on a whole generation of central Massachusetts folks.
We were fortunate to just barely miss the path of destruction. The power wasn't so lucky. We finished the brew by the glow of car headlights, hunched over the kettle in shock of what just transpired. With our well-pump down, there was no way to chill the wort on site, so we carried it miles away and set it in front of a window air conditioner, coaxing it down to temperature however we could. We pitched the yeast the next morning.
The beer was meant to be an American IPA, somewhere around 6.8% ABV. But with our attention pulled in every direction that day, our efficiency on the brew came up short, and what we ended up with was something lower, softer, and a little unexpected. A pale ale, born out of a day none of us would forget, eternally known and loved as Tornado.
