Spencer Brewery is or perhaps was the only Trappist brewery in the United States. Unfortunately it…read morecame to my attention that their physical location is now closed. However I wouldn't entirely rule them out on not being able to try their beer as I just spotted their beer and purchased it at Total Wine and Beverage so perhaps it's production only now. We had one of their beers and were quite impressed by it. It was a Belgian Enkel/Patersbier, a very unique tasting beer and definitely reminds one of Europe. A beer more on fancier side with a dry, fruity and banana like flavor. It's complex but was very well balanced. The name of the beer just says Trappist Beer on Untapped but you may want to look for American Trappist ale or of course anything that says Spencer Brewery.

This is the first time we attended their annual open house at the brewery and will definitely make…read moreit an annual event. The area: Open space with tents setup with tables and chairs for seating, pouring stations scattered on one side of the event. There is also a station for tasting the large variety of jams and jelly (you can buy them at the souvenirs store at the entrance of the monastery), the other side of the event are tents for souvenir purchase and cases of beer for sale. They also have a small pond and large field for the kids to run around. Very family friendly. Price: We love that the admission is free and you got 2 sample tickets with it. Everything is very affordable: $1 sample beer, $5 pint beer, $5 for 3 hotdogs, $5 souvenir glasses, etc. You got my point. They also had a food truck for fire dept fundraiser - the line was too long, but I think for $10, you get half roasted chicken, biscuit, side salad, and some type of dessert. Very good deal. The flow: You must purchase tickets for everything (except the fire dept food truck), they only accept cash for the tickets. you use the tickets as cash to buy drinks, souvenirs, and cases of beer... So if you plan to make big purchase here, bring cash with you. They do have an ATM on site. The brewery area is open for self walk tour, you can find monks manning the various booths, walking around and greeting visitors. They are super nice and we really enjoyed talking with them and learning about the monastery. Miscellaneous: The church and grounds are open to the public, after the brewery tour, we drove down to the church and walked around for a bit. We love the peacefulness and scenic view here. 100% fan of the event, we hope they continue to offer open house and affordable price!!!

That's not great business practice, and might actually not even be legal.

First time at tree house brewing company . I had heard great things .. but I'm not really a beer…read moredrinker so I never thought to go .. but somehow I made my way here this past weekend and I am So GLAD I did because we had the BEST TIME ! First the location and brewery is HUGE ! There's plenty of space to sit indoors and outdoors . They have options of many beers but also had some options of non alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails for the non beer drinkers ! They had a cute area for fireplaces to sit by with bench like seating that's covered outside , they had large area of lawn chairs to sit in , they had a large projector playing the football game outside . They even have hiking trails . Not to mention they decorated the whole place with scarecrows , pumpkins and even a little waterfall with some fish swimming in it . Beautiful atmosphere for the whole family and very DOG FRIENDLY AS WELL ! Overall 10/10 for atmosphere alone . Staff was great , very clean too And my drink I got the berry blast frozen cocktail which was AMAmazing ! I really liked it which I was surprised a brewery made su h a good frozen drink . Overall highly recommend and will definitely be back

They say don't meet your heroes, but sometimes that statement doesn't follow through. Also, when…read moreyou're talking about a brewery, perhaps the statement doesn't match up correctly. What I'm trying to get at here is Tree House Brewing Company, for any avid beer drinker who knows their stuff, lives up to all the hype and wonder that it is. My wife and I visited Tree House last weekend and had a fantastic time. I'm just sad it's over. Can we go back? Now? First, I gotta give the wife a shoutout because it was her idea to swing up to the OG spot of Tree House in Charlton, MA when we were going to be near-ish by. Between not being a beer drinker and also being currently pregnant, my wife normally has minimal drink options at a place that makes its name in alcohol, but Tree House is all encompassing when it comes to liquid love. Beer, spirits, seltzers, sodas, and coffee can be found here all under the moniker of Tree House. Plus this place is so massively wonderful in seating indoors and outside that it can be a place to take a few small cherubs as you partake in the wonder of it all. Something to note for the future. The true wonder for me comes in two waves. Wave 1 is just the sheer amount of beers available from Tree House right on tap. Two bars split you up between the go-to IPAs and stouts while the other bar has more traditional lager and beer options. There aren't flights at Tree House, but no staff member (all were so friendly and welcoming) will stop you from tasting a whole bunch of brews before landing on your full pour. Wave 2 is the can ordering and pick-up. If you're like me, when you catch Tree House cans around the area at a beer distributor, it can be like seeing a unicorn. You grab them and you'll pay any price to obtain a few because you know how coveted they are and how tasty they're going to be. If you're not aware of this, it might amaze you to watch people take handcarts full of beer off to their car. For the selection and price, this is a must...well, I got 20 cans (and some coffee cans too) so maybe not a full handcart for me, but it's so tempting to not want to. Beyond those waves of wonder you'll just find everything you want at a brewery and more. Tree House swag runs rampant and you could easily walk out with Tree House garb from head to toe via shirts, stickers, keychains and stemware. As mentioned, the setup is so stellar with Adirondack chairs spread around overlooking the whole Tree House campus. Nothin' is better than that, except maybe their pizza. Come during the week and you can experience some really stellar slices at their slice shop. This is apparently closed on the weekends, but food trucks take their place so you'll definitely still find some grub to offset the hops. You'll win at Tree House no matter what. Overall, Tree House Brewing Company is everything you hope to get from a brewery with aspects you might not even expect. I mean, I probably should mention I came on a Friday right at opening and experienced all of this wonderment early on so perhaps, as some report, later on a Friday evening or a weekend day might result in a more crowded feel, but I'll vouch for a during the week trip if you can make it happen. Because once you stroll up and get a whiff of what is being brewed inside of Tree House, you'll know it truly is your beer hero...even if it's not a person.
