I’ve heard of people making a full on smoke beer and then putting a new beer on the yeast cake to get a more subtle smoke character but I hadn’t heard of the smoke malt started, definitely interesting!
I actually got my inspiration from Schlenkerla brewery in Bamberg. They do that with their smoked Helles. I think a smoked malt starter would work really well on a pale lager. I might try it eventually.
It was excellent!! A great concept and not overly smoky. I'm not a huge fan of full on rauchbiers but this was a tasteful (and tasty) execution of limited smoke. Plus the base Baltic porter was delicious!
@@Eagle1846ytownwould you mind share the recepie if thats okay? I am trying to do something similar and dont know how much smoke grain to use. I want it to be party of all flavours with noticable smoke but not overshadowing other chocolate, roasty malty notes.
My wife and I just opened a small batch brewery in Lasalle, Ontario Canada and you and Treehouse have been a huge inspiration in our journey. Seeing you collab with them is awesome. Just want to say thank you for the inspiration in beer making.
Fat Lou Brew Co. We are very small just starting out so it's only a grab and go retail store front as of now. Hopefully to grow into a tap room and one day Tree House size lol.
I might be coming late to this, I didn't realize there was a "debate.". My understanding is that a Cold IPA can use ale yeast or lager yeast, as long as they're relatively clean. A Cold IPAs main job is to highlight the dry hop flavor by thinning and drying the body using malt adjuncts. In contrast, an IPL must use lager yeast and might not have any dry hop additions and is unlikely to have adjuncts like corn or rice. I remember reading an article with the brewer from Wayfinder who used this rough explanation. In my head, a Cold IPA is a crisp version of a Hazy IPA but with a different malt bill. A IPL is a catch all for older school IPAs that used lager yeast.
Glad you were able to go to Tree House! I was able to befriend a Local brewery and the conversations were always outstanding. I had them try my homebrew and got feedback. As a result, I was invited to come in and Brew on their 10BBL system. What a TREAT! and as Tree House says, it is about making memories. Every time I homebrew what I helped brew on the 10BBL system, I go back to that day's memories.
That is awesome! It's always a great time when you as a homebrewer get to spend some time working on a big system and getting to know the differences between scales. Plus 90% of pro brewers started out as homebrewes so they love it to!
That’s awesome. I’m really happy you guys got to meet up and talk when it comes to brewing beer treehouses style really speaks to me about chasing flavor profiles. I don’t care about the rules. I want something that’s fun & yummy.
Right on! Brewing something "to style" is lots of fun and usually makes great beer, but brewing something that's different than everyone else's beer and tastes incredible is a very different thing!
After many years of watching from afar, my wife and I were eventually able to visit Treehouse and it is every bit as awesome as I thought it would be. Incredible beer in a beautiful woodland setting.
Just found this video and channel, so I subbed. I saw the Treehouse video, congrats. This video made me want a trip to Treehouse, I live only 10 minutes from the one in Deerfield.
Cool video. Enjoying TH tasting videos and came across yours and your insight (Aug. 2024, Kent/Seatle, WA) I can't get TH here but like WA and OR drinking laws and growler takeaways .. But each State is different and have to finess those differences. Thanks for your interview with Nate at TH !
He comes across as a really humble and down to earth guy. I would like to make a trip over there and experience the treehouse brewery. I’ll be putting that on the list for sure.
Hey Señor BruSho. Better start packing 💼🧳. I can honestly see you in a Tree House video. Just like Steve you guys are down to earth and no BSing around. I still have not the chance to try a Tree House brew.😢. But will try Steve's Julius clone soon. Salud from Phoenix, AZ 🍺🍺
Wow! The scale of Tree House is phenomenal! Quite frustrating on this side of the pond that we don't get to taste much craft beer from the US, at least in my neck of the woods. Great content as always!
This is great. I had the opportunity to brew with the guys at Browns Brewing in Troy NY. A buddy of mine won a Fun Day Brew Day raffle and invited me. They brew one of our recipes. A Barleywine. It was a long day and it made me realize that big scale brewing is for young guys. We had a hand in every part of it though. From crushing the grains to tasting from the fermenter every two weeks until it was ready to serve.
I'm planning a trip in August to Tree House. I have been watching their content for a while. Congrats on getting picked! Make sure you bring back some of their beer. I plan on it! Cheers!
I am really jealous! That sounds like an incredible experience. Tree House is on my list of places I really want to visit if I ever find myself able to travel to the area.
Thanks so much for making this video and sharing with us. Your channel is one of the best, and I have learned a ton from you. Great job on everything, and please keep up the excellent work.
Great video...always enjoy your content, looking forward to the last piece of this puzzle...Nate is due to drop in any day to taste my Kiwi home brew 🍺🍺
@@rossWestieBrauhaus Just watched it now! It is so awesome he came to you and got to have the beer right off the tap, it doesn't get better than that and he is certainly a very intelligent and exciting person to talk to!
Thanks for the tour and thanks to Nate. I'm way out west and not sure I'll ever get the Tree House, but if I get to the Boston area it's on the top of my list.
What a great opportunity you had Steve! If you get down the Cape check out their Sandwich location. It’s right on the water and beautiful location. I go there all the time.
This was an amazing video... thank you for sharing your tour with us! I have brewed my version of Tree House and your version, both were out of this world. I can not wait to try Tree House Hazy at Tree House.... thanks again
A truly great video here Steve! You asked great questions and you are well spoken! Keep this up! I guarantee you’ll be working for treehouse or something like that in the near future.
I enjoyed seeing you on Treehouse's video! This is a great companion video. Charlton is impressive, but every treehouse location is unique. Might be fun to make a video(s) on the experience each location has to offer. Thanks and Cheers!
How'd you miss their bottle options. I was very ignorant to their vast other options. It was feeling like a disaster was coming with not branching out past hazy's. Oh they are branched, pun intended. Nice visit and content. They have this stuff together. It's refreshing to hear nate prefers a translucent juicy version. Not cloudy. I'm intrigued on their milk stout process and ingredients.
Those wile guys at brulusophy have recommended dosing a little sulfite to packaging to head off some oxidation. But for a keg transfer. The dosing per can would be a bit tricky. Sounds like it came out ok as is.
Good for you! Congratulations. And for Pete's sake, when you showed that can storage which looked like the room the Top Men stored the Ark of the Covenant, I ask, why the hell can I not get a Treehouse beer anywhere?
It's truly mind boggling how huge that place is. I'm not gonna speak for their business decisions but they're very successful with their current model and they are the size they are just purely form demand. Still trying to catch up in fact.
Steve, was this your first visit to TreeHouse? Just curious… during the spring thru fall time; I bring my wife and dogs and just hang out for a few hours and just relax and enjoy what Treehouse has created for us to enjoy. Love your channel and this was a great video. Hope to see you out and about one of these days. Cheers Erik
I did live in Boston for 5 years and never had a tree house beer. unfortunately i have to move back to my country and now have to see this beauty only by video! SAD
In my opinion the difference between a cold IPA and an IPL is an extra adjunct like corn or rice to make them extra crispy., and also clear..but maybe that's just my interpretation
I really asked him that question as sort of a joke. I agree though, most beers that are sold as "Cold IPA" including the original Wayfinder beer are imperial adjunct lagers at heart. But Jack's Abbey started the IPL and that's very close to home!
1:34 "I really don't think I have to explain how big a deal Treehouse Brewing is in the craft beer world." Ehhhhhhhh. You probably should. I've never heard of them before this and I watch like 5 or so homebrew channels. Like XKCD said, every day there's 10,000 people who learn something that 'everyone knows'.
Fair enough, but I'm not gonna add 2 more minutes to a 25 minute video to do that. Bottom line, they are one of the best and most well know breweries in the US, and routinely occupy spots on the list of the best beers in the world (ratebeer)

Glad you enjoyed my Baltic porter! I’m not sure the all grain smoked starter was worth it, but it was a fun experiment.

What's your brewery called? I'm in Stratford Ontario, but if I'm ever in the Windsor area I'll make sure to stop by for a beer!
Fat Lou Brew Co. We are very small just starting out so it's only a grab and go retail store front as of now. Hopefully to grow into a tap room and one day Tree House size lol.
Wow! That's awesome, I'm very glad I could help inspire you and I wish you the best of luck with your brewery!
I'd love to know as well! I'm in Montreal but inlaws are in Windsor area and go once or twice a year.
I am also curious about the name of the brewery. I live in Windsor and I would love to come check you out.
Just moved to the area- And got to finally visit Tree house a few weeks ago! Lol this makes me want to start brewing my own home brew!!
A lot of work; but having your own brew on tap is pretty great

This is like a Homebrewers make a wish. Very cool!
Also... 18 lbs /bbl equivalent is insanity. That's like 3lbs of hops in a 5 gallon batch!
It was awesome! And yeah, he was like "I don't want to tell you how low the yield was" haha
After many years of watching from afar, my wife and I were eventually able to visit Treehouse and it is every bit as awesome as I thought it would be. Incredible beer in a beautiful woodland setting.

It was awesome! There's so many beers to choose from its kind of insane!
Such a cool experience! Thank you for sharing!

I knew you'd appreciate that setup! There's a reason why their videography position is full time!
Awesome, always make sure to visit my daughter in Boston when I visit Treehouse
😂
Priorities 😂
Homebrewer in the New London, CT area here! Great video, Steve!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! The scale of Tree House is phenomenal! Quite frustrating on this side of the pond that we don't get to taste much craft beer from the US, at least in my neck of the woods. Great content as always!
Boston is the closest major metropolitan airport to the UK, it wouldn't be too long of a drive for you if you fly over that way sometime!
It tastes the same. Nate’s point is the experience of visiting a brewery is what makes it memorable.
I am lucky to live 30 minutes from Charleton! Glad you enjoyed the brewery.

so cool to see you do this!
It was so much fun!
That's awesome man! To see you get that opportunity after all the interesting content you've made and put out is great. Congrats
I still can't quite believe I got this opportunity!
I've been there excellent brewery
I am really jealous! That sounds like an incredible experience. Tree House is on my list of places I really want to visit if I ever find myself able to travel to the area.
It's incredible! Not your average brewery by any stretch of the imagination
Nice work! very cool video
Thank you very much!
I went to Tree House for the first time in early November. Driving up felt like a religious experience. Great video and glad you had a great time!
Glad you enjoyed the video!

What an honor....Nate is inspirational☮
Absolutely. He definitely is dialed in on what he wants for Tree House and has a very clear vision for that!
Does it even get any cooler than this!? Awesome video AB, makes me want to book a trip to visit Tree House.
It's worth the trip!
That was a great experience for you! Congratulations! Thanks for the vid!
It was an awesome experience indeed!
Finally the video instead of the IG teasers!
I had fun with this one 😁
Thanks for the tour and thanks to Nate. I'm way out west and not sure I'll ever get the Tree House, but if I get to the Boston area it's on the top of my list.

If you loved the homebrew version, theirs will blow your mind!
Good video, following your channel and Tree House from the other side of the planet.
Nice!!
Awesome experience... Congrats!
LOVE Treehouse!
It’s funny how different your voice is through their audio setup vs your own. Great stuff Steve!
Ha! Microphones and EQ settings change a lot in this video!
Congrats Steve!
Thanks Ed!
Also, good choice with the Grodziskie! It’s phenomenal
Easily one of the best I've ever had!
A truly great video here Steve! You asked great questions and you are well spoken! Keep this up! I guarantee you’ll be working for treehouse or something like that in the near future.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully I can make more stuff like this in the future!
That was awesome!!!!!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺
It was!!
Man, I really wish they had a larger distribution footprint!
Also, meeting Nate is the brewing equivalent of meeting one of The Beatles.
Yeah you have to go to the brewery to get any cans or bottles but it's always worth the trip! Any distributor would add $2-3 to each can anyway
Wow! What an experience buddy - you captured it perfectly!
Thank you!
Great video and what an opportunity!
Still blown away I could do this!
Good stuff. Looks like it was an incredible experience! Cheers!
It was!
I always thought gnomer would be the first to collab with treehouse but you beat him to it! Nice work thanks for the video.
Next time me and Gnome should go together!

So awesome, gets me excited for my run to the new Tewksbury location when I head up to New England for work!
Get the pizza
Noted! @@cmcurran5
Worth it!
Thanks for making this one!
My pleasure!
I appreciate the footage from the drive. Amazing to see the complete experience. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed that part!
What a collab!!!
It was so awesome!
The scale is truly mind boggling! I am sure it was even more impressive in person. Cheers!
Video does not do it justice!
Maybe a video series trying to recreate that pale ale 🤔
Hmmmmmm...you might be on to something
Got to try the Piwo Grodziskie last year and it was absolutely amazing - definitely a style I need to do one of these days
It's one of the best I've ever had!

I didn't miss the bottle options at all but I was not in the mood for big barrel aged beers when I made the choices I did.
really cool Steve!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool
Those wile guys at brulusophy have recommended dosing a little sulfite to packaging to head off some oxidation. But for a keg transfer. The dosing per can would be a bit tricky. Sounds like it came out ok as is.
It's a little riskier when the keg itself is already exposed to oxygen thanks to the beer engine, but it worked out great!
Good for you! Congratulations. And for Pete's sake, when you showed that can storage which looked like the room the Top Men stored the Ark of the Covenant, I ask, why the hell can I not get a Treehouse beer anywhere?

Come back some time, it will still be there!
What an experience, congratulations mate. Wouldn't I love to visit places like TH. Germany has few such places
Make your way over to Massachusetts and visit it!
If I ever manage you'll have to take me out of for a beer. I'll buy
You'll know if I end up in Germany!

It's a big part of having both a punchy aroma and a flavor to back it up!

Man looks like it's time to upgrade your equipment......maybe go with just a 5 barrel system to start 🤣
Hahaha just gotta go find half a million dollars
