Here’s to hoping quality maintains. They’ve Come a long way from 4 can allocation nights at the old barn. lol

That has not been my experience. I generally don’t drink any in the first two weeks, as they are still coming together imo. As far as outlier dates, fwiw I am still working through an August 2 purchase and many TH have actually gotten better over time. It’s all about provenance. If you buy it onsite, and keep it refrigerated until you drink it, there is no issue going 60-90 days out. Could be longer since I have not kept any beyond 90.

If you ship it or you buy any that goes through retail, you roll the dice and they may not hold up.

hope he drinks quick…the one downside of tree house, and probably it’s only one, is that a lot of the DIPAs do not age well at all.

Agree. Ideally with in 2 weeks. Definitely within 5-6 weeks. otherwise it’s still decent and drinkable but they are just another beer at that point and not worthy of the cost. But that first 2’weeks - magic!

Good advice. Sadly in Seattle the best I can hope for is 2 day usps shipped . But they are still great!
Just need more folks to be able to ship some.
