Hello

Hello - my name is Nathan Lanier and I am a co-founder, head brewer, and conceptual leader at Tree House Brewing Company. I, our cofounders, and our entire staff work tirelessly each day to make Tree House what it is.

The words were written by me; not our PR department, because we don’t have one. We wear our hearts on our sleeves and when you hear information from us you hear it from the people who roll up their sleeves each day and build. When you get to know us you will learn that we make good on our word and that we do things the hard way and the right way every single time.

We put this page together to share details on our brewery in Sandwich and our philosophy of doing business. It will clarify any questions you may have about the operation, and articulate why visiting will be a well-controlled and intimate experience with the utmost consideration and care for the location.

We understand that we are staking our reputation on our ability to deliver on this plan - and we are happy to do so because we believe in the possibility of this location and we will do whatever we need to to make it a valued addition to the Sandwich community.

Our brewery in Sandwich is completely different from our brewery in Charlton. The vision for this location - a lively bastion of community and spirit, with locals enjoying the view over a pint and a lobster roll while forgetting about life for a while - is one that drives us obsessively to get right. This facility is designed to create an impeccable experience that has been arduously designed in consideration of its capabilities and surroundings. That is our promise, and that is what you can expect from Tree House.

Community Outreach

Tree House has a lengthy record of contributing to causes that affect the human condition from both a global perspective and a community perspective. This level of outreach will not diminish in Sandwich. In fact, all of the revenue (not proceeds nor profit - but revenue) from the beer Hello Cape Cod - a beer that features over 100 unique images showcasing the grandeur and beauty of the Cape - was donated to the following causes, a list that has grown and evolved following months of conversations with the public in Sandwich and beyond:

Sandwich Food Pantry, Animal Rescue League, Woodwell Climate Research Center, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, Cape Kid Meals, Cape Abilities, Cape Cod Military Support Foundation, and the Sandwich Shellfish Program. 

Hiring + Jobs

Tree House Cape Cod currently employs 36 individuals, including our taproom manager and assistant managers. We carry a great deal of pride to bring well-paying jobs to the Sandwich community.

Check here for job openings, and if you are interested in applying to a position, please act quickly as they fill up fast.

The Brewery Taproom

Following the successful implementation of our beer to-go program, we have opened for draft beer pours with heavily reduced occupancy. Guests pre-purchase tickets in advance to gain entrance in waves, and we actively control and limit the volume of people who may do so.

When ticket sales for the day sell out - that is it. There will be no chaos and no lines of traffic.

Following the initial opening, and after finalizing further parking plans currently in the works, we will slowly and controllably scale the volume of people enabled to enter each day. The total number of draft tickets sold each day will not be driven by our legal occupancy but by ensuring we have a safe, laid back, reliable, and controllable environment for neighbors and the public to enjoy.

The food program at the brewery plans to draw from many of the Cape’s favorite restaurants on a rotating basis, offering exposure to food establishments and welcoming a diverse range of styles to enjoy.

In closing

The support and enthusiasm for our brewery from Sandwich residents, in the many conversations we have had since November, has been heartening. We are glad to have met you, and we look forward to offering a memorable experience for you to enjoy.

Breathing life into an old building that has served as a communal gathering place for over 60 years fills us with pride, and we cannot wait to open our doors and welcome you into a tiny sliver of beer nirvana overlooking the majestic Cape Cod Bay.

Thank you for reading, and have an excellent day.
