Sap

Pale Hoppy · New England IPA · 7.3% ABV

Sap

Though originally brewed as a "Christmas" beer, this piney IPA, brewed almost exclusively Chinook hops, was so enjoyable we decided to put it into the 'year round' rotation. With it's golden yellow color, rich aroma, and drying body, it's hard to stop drinking this one.

Woodstock is temporarily smelling like a Christmas tree farm with the return of Sap.

Woodstock is temporarily smelling like a Christmas tree farm with the return of Sap. This IPA represents the intersection of fruit and pine and is tasting magnificent in our rustic taproom. If you need some gifts in beverage form to stock up on or just need a moment of respite from the busiest month of the year, come on down the road less traveled and unwind with us. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Today is that day, fam! ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄 Very SSSappyyy is the ultimate and most amplified version of our core beer, Sap, bursting with notes of citrus and pine. Beers such as this are a seamless blend of piney West Coast aromas that first captured our hearts and the soft, juicy citrus character of a Tree House-style IPA. Simply put, it's a sensory experience like nothing else. ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄 #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Winter is coming.

Winter is coming. Sap reminds us of crisp air, the invigorating rush of fresh pine, and a hint of grapefruit. Sap has the most wonderfully confounding profile of our core beers - it's fruity, dank, piney, and, of course, smooth! It occupies a funny space between a standard Tree House-style IPA and an iconic West Coast IPA. It's a unique beer that we're so grateful to have around. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

It's hard to imagine a time when a proper Julius can didn't exist, but it's only been ten short years. In the summer of 2015, we introduced a design that is virtually unchanged a decade later and has been enjoyed the world over. That same design soon graced many of the cans that remain our best-selling and most beloved offerings to this day. Julius, Green, Haze, Sap, Alter Ego. Today, we're pleased to release a commemorative can to celebrate this significant milestone from a decade ago. Enjoy! #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Starting the day with a little Sap, Sap, Sappy down in Woodstock. Our piney, hoppy, tropical core beer, Sap, is being canned as we speak. This iconic blend of American hops combines to create a greatest hits of hop flavors. This bout of low humidity and cool evenings is a perfect way to unwind from these sun-drenched days of July at our farm in Connecticut! #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

With the trip’s energy reaching a fever pitch, we arrived @freestylehops in Upper Moutere, where Freestyle Managing Director Dave Dunbar greeted us. Our passion for hops mirrors David’s—he is obsessed with connecting the dots between how hops present themselves in the field and how they work out in a finished beer. Seasoned and well-traveled brewers understand that it is not always so clear, and the more experience you have out in the field, the clearer the connections become. The conversations during this stop got super technical; much of this back and forth was captured in an upcoming short film of our trip. This was the first of two stops at Freestyle - one to capture the essence of each variety’s peak on the bine and a second to ensure we had a chance to vet every lot grown after the harvest had concluded. During this stop and in years past, we’ve experienced Peacharine, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Riwaka, and more on the bine at peak expression during the harvest. It would be hard to express in words what it is like to experience these hops in the field, so we say this with all of the sincerity in the world: we’ve made it our life’s work to attempt to bring you this experience in cans of Tree House. At the conclusion of our visit, out in the experimental field, we even had the chance to experience Chinook grown in New Zealand. If you’re a fan of Sap, you can imagine how exciting this moment was for us! Stay tuned, there will be one more post on this first stop to Freestyle, which will touch a bit more on their ethos. Freestyle has been super accommodating working with is to bring Peacharine to the US as quickly as possible, and you can experience it in fresh Trail Peacharine and Jubilee, currently available at Tree House. After a great day in Freestyle’s illustrious hop gardens, we were back at the coast for dinner to reflect on our new learnings and discuss the road ahead.
