I used to stop at a place that made apple wines in Jacksonville. This sounds real close to it.

Same place - the wine side of the operations is the Honora Winery, and they added in the berr side , The J'Ville Brrewery, mid-late summer this year
Aborted attempt at my first trip to Tree House today. Pike was already a parking lot at 1130. Currently at Wormtown brewery waiting on a Hopulance growler fill. Also grabbed a six pack of Bottle Rocket
One thing that I thing that I wish changed was the stupid law in Mass, NH and ME that you can't bring growlers from different breweries to fill. I've got a bunch of growlers from Hill Farmstead and elsewhere collecting dust. What a waste

I think Bottle Rocket is VERY underrated. That is a solid brew.

Looks like I made the right call. Wait for growler fills at Wormtown was only 20 minutes. If I had just grabbed bottles I'd have been out in 2 minutes.
Hopefully it's not like that at Tree House when I finally make it there.

Made it to the NE corner of the brewery building in about 20 min after the doors opened (per a cheer from the front of the line the doors opened about 10 min early!) - still probably 100 yards of line in front of me to get inside the brewery! But the line is at least moving along

They've been selling for about 45 min now and I'm maybe another 20 minutes until I'm buying my tree house! Still probably 500 people behind me!! The line is still out on the road

I think you're right. Did some searching online. Seems it was called North River Winery. I haven't been there since mid-90s. Time really changes things - in this case - for the better.

Yup, North River is now known as Honora Winery, but still in the same location

Took me about 90 minutes to get to this point just before I got my 30 total can allotment and about 10 feet from where Haze was being canned and labeled. The crew at Tree House does a good job at moving the line along! Still probably about a 2hr line when I was driving away to go get some brisket down at BT's Smokehouse in Sturbridge on my way home

BTs is fantastic
Good stuff for sure. Had the bottle rocket first and now enjoying the Hopulance, which is also good.
Wormtown is definitely top shelf. I would be going there all the time if I lived in central mass
It is ridiculous!! I have a half dozen my self.

It is ridiculous.
My growler count:
5 from Tree House
3 from Trillium
2 from Fiddlehead
3 from Medusa
1 from Wormtown
1 from NEBCo.
1 from Jack's Abbey
3 from Magic Hat (that will probably never get used again)
1 from Brewfest Beverage in Ludlow
All sitting in the basement waiting to be used.
Medusa is local to me so they get used the most, followed by Jack's Abbey, Trillium and Tree House.

Ridiculous tap list at the Station Taproom on the 2nd floor of the base lodge at Mount Snow today!!!! Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Lawson's Double Dose, Lawson's Double Shot, 3 kinds of Hill Farmstead, a pumpkin sour from Hermit Thrush, Maine Beer Co Lunch, and 13 other quality beers!! I challenge any base area bar to beat that list!! Look up the full list on the taplister app, look for West Dover, CT - The Station Taproom!
