Whimsy is a cider produced by Tree House Brewing, distinguished by its authentic approach based entirely on the use of homegrown and locally cultivated apples. The first harvest for this cider dates back to 2020, when the fruit was pressed and fermented in stainless steel vessels at low temperatures, undergoing a months-long process that preserved the natural freshness and aroma of the apples.
It then went through a tertiary bottle fermentation, which provided a delicate, natural effervescence. With an alcohol content of around 5.8% ABV, it delivers balanced strength while keeping the apple character prominent yet subtle.
The flavor is described as clean, refreshing, and layered, with gentle acidity and drinkability reminiscent of classic European apfelwein styles. What makes it stand out is its deliberate simplicity and the expression of orchard terroir, free from added sugars or flavorings.
Producer
Tree House Brewing Company is one of the most highly regarded American craft breweries, known for its top-quality unfiltered IPAs and strong local presence. It was founded in 2011 in the state of Massachusetts by four friends as a small homebrewing project in Brimfield.
They are best known for their hazy and juicy IPA beers, especially Julius, which stands out with tropical aromas of mango, peach, and passionfruit, paired with gentle bitterness and a smooth, full-bodied taste. Their beers are not distributed - they are sold exclusively on-site at brewery locations, giving them an exclusive status and creating buzz and long lines with each new release.
Tree House combines innovation and high quality with a local, community-driven approach and a commitment to sustainable growth. Each location offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, often with pizza, music, and outdoor gathering spaces.
