About Tree House Brewing Company

Tree House Brewing Company began in a small red barn in Brimfield, Massachusetts. From the very beginning, our goal has been simple: to craft reliably delightful beer that enhances life’s special moments and to serve it in a cheerful, communal environment. What started as a five-gallon Coleman cooler brewhouse has grown into a state-of-the-art, 60-BBL German-engineered brewhouse. Yet through all that growth, Tree House remains an independent, brewer-owned company driven by the same people, the same passion, and the same commitment to bringing joy to our guests as we had when we first started more than a decade ago. Today, Tree House owns and operates six facilities. Our taproom in Tewksbury, Massachusetts is also home to our unique nine-hole golf course, offering guests a distinctive experience that blends great beer with outdoor recreation.
