CRAFT BEER Brewhouse Tour - 60 BBL! [Tree House Brewing]

Published 2023-01-13
This video contains an in-depth tour of a craft beer brewhouse that is 60 barrels in size.

Hosted by our CEO, head brewer, and co-founder Nathan Lanier where we look at Tree House Brewing Company's craft brewhouse equipment, beginning with the software controls and working our way through the grain room, malt silo, spent grain silo, water skid, mill, mash mixer, later tun, wort kettle, and whirlpool.

This equipment was custom built for our needs and continues to evolve and improve over time. When we were starting out, there we not too many commercial brewing equipment videos on YouTube, and it's still pretty sparse out there. This is the video we wished to have been able to enjoy as home brewers - we you like it!

This is an off the cuff, unscripted tour and is the first in a multi-part series where we will show you our cellar, packaging line, warehouse, utilities, coffee program, distillery, farm, and other locations.

This is a high level overview - if there are certain parts of the video that you'd like to see a more in-depth video on, just let us know. We are going to keep on making this videos as long as you'll have us!

We had a ton of fun making this and hope you will support the channel with a like and subscribe.

  • So much to love about this video folks! The openness about the processes, the insane attention to detail to every part of the brewery... but also that statement about the importance of making sensory decisions on the fly even amongst the automation and how nerdy Nate is about all the stuff we don't even think to ask about on brewery tours! Explain a lot about how great your beers are.
  • Clearly the right person in the right position to make that brewery work!
  • @JesLG
    “A lot of things that we don’t necessarily understand but know how to manipulate….” What beer is all about. You do a great job of engaging, being informative, keeping it simple & helping us learn about brewing. I am from Grand Rapids MI. I am lucky I have a buddy who leaves near Charlton & he sends me Tree House as a gift. And so I have been very fortunate to drink Tree House, awesome beers. 🍻
  • This might be the greatest thing you’ve done since you started making beer. Love the mix of overview and detail. Would love to see more basic overview information and then drive down to some of the details. You’re level of “excitement” for hops was hilarious! Please keep these coming without giving away any of you’re “secrets”. Thank You for making the best beer in the world.
  • @monkyebrain
    Nate I was one of your first customers way back when. Remember those cold days waiting in line for Good Morning. You and your team deserve all the successes.
  • @frigorifix
    Thank you so much for this insight. No words to describe how amazed a little home brewer is when seing all this.
  • Nat, You are a mad chemist! Love your beer. Full of so much flavor. 🍻
  • @946vasil
    This is how magic is made. You guys have no equal. Just keep doing YOU .Thank you for all the magical moments when i get to enjoy your beers.
  • @jayspies9860
    LOL @ 15:03 "There's some other little trinkets out here". Yep, ones that cost more than my house! Great job, guys, keep it up!
  • @hhearst
    I met Nate today at the new Tewkesbury location! I wish I had seen this video beforehand so I could complement him for it. Great video from a great brewing company.
  • haven't watched this yet but gotta say the recent video content (beverage of the year, photography) has been great, keep it coming!
  • Would love to see what "day in the life of a brewer" video. Or even something where you share a recipe for beer that could be homebrewed.
  • @LTTrashPanda
    Can we get a video about getting started in brewing and maybe what is needed moving up in size? Loving the videos, a lot a awesome information.
  • @wvcarleton
    This was one of my favorite of your videos! Loved the hop room! A perfect diversion. (Diversión actually means ‘fun’ in Spanish) What an incredible facility you’ve built—insane tech!
  • @JonPalmqvist
    Thank you! Very interesting! I'd love to see more! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • @owenlyons418
    Great to have a brewers tour and not a tourist. Can’t wait for more.
  • @toddbz
    Roughly 6ish years ago my homie Joe Yurkunas and I did a West & East Coast beer swap I sent him some from our neighbors who own a brewery, and he sent me yours It was then that I was introduced to the East Coast style IPA, which to this day, is my favorite type of beer Good memories & great friends Cheers to the future
