Tree House Opening Beachside Cape Brewery

SANDWICH, MA — A popular Massachusetts craft brewery from Worcester County is looking to take its beer to the beaches of Cape Cod.

Tree House Brewing Company announced Thursday it's opening a two-story taproom in Sandwich with large decks and views of the boardwalk at Town Neck Beach.

Brewery management in a statement said the second location was needed for Tree House to continue growing its customer base.

"This year we've reflected deeply upon the experience in Charlton and realized that many of the limitations currently in place are a function of over-demand and under-supply, not for beer, but as a communal gathering place," a brewery spokesperson said.

"Our roots are deep in Massachusetts, and more broadly, New England, and calling a small sliver of the Cape home fills us with pride and purpose to do even better on your behalf,” the brewery added. "A brewery and taproom on the ocean or beach is rare, and we couldn’t be more pleased to jump at the chance to enjoy it with you."

Management said they hope to have the new location open by summer of 2021, depending on the state of the coronavirus pandemic. On-site food trucks are also part of the plan.
