You've come to the Right Place for crispy lagers. This oak-conditioned rendition of our Czech-style lager, Shipshape, rests in our oak foeder, imparting a wonderfully soft character to its zippy profile. We taste notes of bready malt, noble spice, hints of lemon peel, and a mild tannic finish imparted by American oak. These days, the use of wood in the fermentation, conditioning, and aging process seems like a niche extra step for the craft connoisseur, but these practices are really a revival of how beer was made until very recently. Wooden vessels were used on all sides of production, and they actively shaped the flavor profile of beer. Even with clean beers such as this, wood contributes a subtle but noticeable character, softening the body, lending gentle tannins, and encouraging a more rounded, integrated expression of its ingredients. This was never lost on historic breweries in Europe; many serving tanks overseas are massive wooden vessels, and Right Place is a tribute to these historic and effortlessly drinkable lagers.

All aboard the S.S. Crispy ⚓ Shipshape is our Czech-style Pils crafted with Bohemian pilsner malt and traditional Saaz hops. The lemony character of this variety hits in the aroma and carries through to its clean finish with a lingering zing. We’ve been lagering this inaugural summer batch while awaiting the first wave of warm weather, and it looks like this weekend it's finally here.

Shipshape is our Czech lager meticulously brewed to style. With a richer malt body than some of the other heavyweights of the Pilsner world, we slowly condition ours for weeks in our stainless horizontals to crisp perfection. Slow carbonation and hand-selected Saaz hops give it an herbal lemon zippiness that perfectly complements its biscuit notes. If you aren't drinking it from our LUKR pour taps, we suggest pouring half the can into a glass with gusto, waiting a minute or more, and slowly pouring the rest. The foam looks like a mountain scene, fit for a snow globe. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Where there is beer-loving culture, you'll find a proud tradition of Pilseners. The Czech Pilsner is one of the cleanest, crispest expressions of this style. Shipshape is brewed meticulously to style, spunded, and slowly carbonated in our horizontal cellar. As per tradition, we use hand-selected Saaz hops, which lend notes of bitter lemon peel to this incredibly clean and zippy offering! It stands in stark contrast to bland lager. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Right Place is an oak-conditioned rendition of our Czech-style lager, Shipshape. Upon the conclusion of primary fermentation, it is transferred to horizontal oak for further maturation until the flavor profile exhibits peak balance and enjoyability. We taste straw, bready malts, noble hops, and mild lemon, all softened by a gentle oak character throughout the experience. Beers like Right Place represent the best of our efforts at Tree House. Producing it requires patience, learned experience, and a deep understanding of the many variables that can affect its outcome. In other words, there is love in every pint. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
