Went right in the middle of their tourist season, yes its 2 months long at least and it gets crowded for a small village standard. this place has parking but its a first come first serve and it gets hard when everyone else is looking for one. Love the Lagers ( im a hazy Beer person ) but these remind me of my local brewery. Lovely owners, magagers, team players that make the entire trip well worth it. you can even bring your Pet. Now im sad i dint bring mine :( PS: i took some beer to bring back home and still have it in the fridge for that special occasion. Maybe have a collab with my local place, they make a mean Pumping Spice and Ocktober Fest

Outdoors is dog friendly and I made some furry friends while sitting out for a drink! The German style beers they have on tap included some unique finds and some styles you don't see too often. Bartenders were very friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get, as lagers and ales are not my usual go tos but made up the majority of the offerings. I got the Salem Ale, a helles style, in a half pour- I love that they offer this smaller size since their other glasses are absolutely massive! This was an easy drinking, smooth beer with low hops, just what I wanted for a hot summer day when I only had limited time to spend here. My drinking partner also enjoyed their selection, and we really enjoyed the location. Would love to go back, very chill vibes and the people there were all so friendly and happy, patrons and employees alike - a rare occurrence in Massachusetts!

Excellent cider! The selection of ciders is varied enough from dry to semi sweet that most people…read moreshould be able to find their right fit. It runs a bit sweet for me, but still very good. Service was wonderful, thank you. I like the bar area, very comfortable, but I don't like whatever is going on with the tacky plastic string covered wall. The patio is nice in concept, but it needs some sprucing up, just some barrels of plants will help.

One of the most impressive things about FFTT is how often they feature new ciders. Follow their Instagram to get the updates but it feels like at least once a month they have new offerings. They have live music on the weekends and are expanding some of their weeknight events and offerings. FFTT has become my favorite brewery in Salem and I look forward to all they have in store.

I would understand this if I were at a playground, but not a brewery where the primary focus is beer. There were a handful of tables with children who were not making the outdoor dining area their playground which was refreshing to see.

Sometimes people recommend spots that just don't hit right with you because it isn't your thing…read more That's OK, let others enjoy themselves, but that shouldn't stop you from trying other things at the location. Such is the case with Tree House Brewing Company started in Brimfield, MA and moved to Charlton, MA. Their legend is built of the juicy New England India Pale Ales (NEIPAs) like Julius, Green, and Haze. People had me try the cans of these before and not surprising to me, I didn't like them. That didn't stop me from going to the newer Tewksbury location to try it out. This is the old clubhouse at the Tewksbury Country Club, which is outright beautiful with wood paneling and designs everywhere. Its massive halls are filled with golfer bros, work outings, and generations of families. My measuring stick at a new brew spot is to try at least four beers I like. With Tree House's massive selection of flavors including sours, ales, pilsner, stouts, seltzers, and distilled spirits, it was not hard to find. Even though the servers looked at me strangely when I removed the entire IPA page from my line of vision, they did help me find the less hop-forward beers. Here are the beers I had: *** Human Condition Nitro Stout *** Easy Does It Pilsner **** Enduring Relief Rye Beer **** Catharsis Porter *** Mom's Ray of Sunshine Extra Strawberry Peanut Stout . Julius (with Peach & Guava) What I really came here to try was the *** Pepperoni Pizza (7.3) Order this thing BEFORE any beer, it takes them quite a while to make. A lot of pictures from several sources made it look like my style, and it is that thin crust with little flop and enough flavor in the toppings and sauce to carry the bread. The toppings were good, the sauce was tasty, BUT the crust of the pizza disappointed me this time. Once you've invested in the pizza, it started to taste like great toppings on cardboard - no other way to describe it. The first pieces when hot were pretty good, but as it cooled it got harder and harder to eat. The score might have been high 8's or low 9's if the crust didn't bother me so much. Overall, it's a beautiful spot in the middle of Tewksbury and the brewery is legendary for a reason. It truly caters to the beer officianados and world travelers, after white collar work crowd, and the golfing buddies. It is limited in its offerings and I'm used to breweries offering many more food options, so like I said, it's not for me. Be well, eat well, and thank a farmer.

I had no idea this location existed until I was heading north from Boston and looked for the…read moreclosest Treehouse location and there was one!! My husband made an online order for pickup, but I wanted to check the place out so I went in for a pour and drank it outside in one of the many spots you can venture outside. There's a lovely bridge overlooking the golf course, a gazebo with tables, tables in the sun, tables in the shade, Adirondack chairs facing a pond, even a rooftop deck. So many outdoor options! Of course there are also a bunch of nooks for indoor seating as well as long wooden tables with benches. The pizza looked and smelled freaking phenomenal. I wanted one with vodka sauce but I'll have to wait to try it when my husband goes with me. They have a draft beer bar and a cocktail/mocktail bar in different areas. A few tiny bathrooms throughout and a shop with lots of golf gear and other merch. I ended up making an online order when I realized they make their own spirits and other fun canned cocktail type drinks. OMG they even have regular seltzer water in cans with flavors like cotton candy!! When you pickup an order, you park in a designated spot, checkin online and tell them which spot you're in. They will bring your order out to your car. So convenient! Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

I only found out about The Landing by taking the Salem Ferry. It wasn't open before my mid-morning…read moreferry trip, but it was open before an early evening sail on the When and If. And this place was busy! If I still lived here, I'd be here often. It's no Rockmore floating (RIP) but it's a close second. They have some light bites on the menu, but I wonder if you can order delivery. If not, that would be a good idea. There isn't a lot of shade, so be warned. Bartender was super friendly. My Tropical Splash was delicious and strong. I couldn't finish it before my sailing adventure. I'm looking forward to returning.

Okay while we're in Salem and out and about we ran across The Landing at Salem Ferry which we…read moreweren't sure what we were looking at. It is an outside square bar with a bunch of chair and some tables. There's no indoors and if you want some shade you need to jockey around depending in the time of day to catch a piece of the shade that comes from the roof/umbrella over the big square bar. Everyone apparently says the same thing, hey how come you guys don't have any food. LOL we didn't ask but we were thinking it. Bilut 5he beers are wicked cold and they can make you about cocktail you can thing of, maybe not an Alabama slammer but most anything really. I heard they have music on Friday nights, but not sure wherebotlr how but the prices are terrible and it's a nice view and your outdoor so that's all a good thing. Yes we discovered it while just knocking around the waterfront but this is a obviously good place to stop for a cocktail by before or after riding the ferry to or from Boston. Cheers

This lone liquor store on a decent stretch of Rt 1 was mildly surprising to me upon entering…read more Things aren't always as they seem. The store looks small from the outside and like it might be just like every third packie on the north shore - lots of beers and nothing much to remember it by. Book, cover. Me, judging. Decent selection of wine. Lots more reds than whites. I found a wine the other night Campanile, Pinot Grigio, for about $10.99, from Italy ('10) which tastes pretty good. The guy who stood behing the counter looked like an old skool meathead - turns out he is friendly, and able to answer my questions. He also has the red sox on in the background for those of whom want to keep up with the game... The one thing that they couldn't give me, that I wanted? Good looking limes. These are like the holy grail of liquor stores though, I usually have to keep looking til I find something worth buying - usually at the last of many stores. I'll be back here for sure.
