Slow Burn

Two historic brewing traditions collide in this latest offering in honor of Oktoberfest. A result of our quest to explore every tributary and offshoot within the world of Märzen lagers, we present to you Slow Burn. The backbone of this beer carries the quintessential notes of brown bread, malty caramel, and a balanced bitterness from noble Hallertau hops—but with a twist from Munich’s northern neighbor, Bamberg.

🏔️ Munich → 🔥 Bamberg A Märzen for campfire season. The backbone of Slow Burn carries the quintessential notes of brown bread, malty caramel, and balanced bitterness from noble Hallertau hops, but with a twist from Munich’s northern neighbor, Bamberg. We add a touch of smoked malt, which lends a wonderful campfire note to this malty delight. Our smoked beers and Oktoberfest variants make up almost half of our draft list at our classic bar in Charlton. If you love classic fall beers as much as we do, or are new to the style, ask one of our bartenders. We can find the perfect match for you.

The lagers. The lagers are coming! Autumn is a nostalgic time of year, and it always brings to mind cozy campfires with loved ones. Slow Burn, our smoked Märzen, was a natural offshoot within our family of Oktoberfest beers. Quintessential notes of brown bread and malty caramel sit beneath faint wisps of campfire smoke. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

The world needs more smoked beer; we will keep doing our part. Two historic brewing traditions collide in this latest offering in honor of Oktoberfest. In our quest to explore every tributary and offshoot within the world of Märzen lagers, we present Slow Burn. The backbone of this beer carries the quintessential notes of brown bread, malty caramel, and balanced bitterness from noble Hallertau hops—but with a twist from Munich’s northern neighbor, Bamberg. Traveling but two hours from Germany’s capital, one will find one immersed in a beer culture like no other: the land of smoked beers. Modern brewers can tweak, nudge, and control every possible minutia of the brewing and fermentation process, but in Bamberg, a relic of the old world still thrives. Grain smoked over seasoned beechwood adds stunning complexity while celebrating our love of a warm fire in the cool New England air. The sweet smokiness sitting atop our rich and quaffable Märzen contemplates the roots of our craft, a harvest’s bounty transformed by flame and the patience of its curators. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
