I'll be honest, the Shaker Pint sends a "no" signal for me right off the bat.

I have successfully convinced my family that one day during our Thanksgiving week in Cape Cod should be reserved for a trip to Treehouse in Sandwich. I figure it will be much more manageable in late Nov. than mid-summer (especially since we're planning to bring a 3-year-old and an 18-month-old).
I still don't really follow what we have to do in advance for reserving time/drink tickets, so turning to you all for advice. What do I need to know before we go?

There's none of that anymore. You just show up and can buy beers at the bar. No need to buy tickets online. The pizza is quite good, but is outside (you can bring it inside). Note the parking is somewhat limited, even more than usual because of the dredging project going on. Treehouse is what you see beyond the beach. I've seen lots of kids there, so that's no problem. Dress them warm enough to let them run around outside a bit.

Thank you, great intel! If any of those construction vehicles are dredging when we are there, that will be all the entertainment my kids need while I sit back and enjoy a couple beers.There's none of that anymore.

Regarding foam, I have a IPA here I'n trying for the 1st time and it's excessively foamy right out of the can. It's not the temperarure or the angle or velocity of the pour. It's a bubbly not creamy foam that eventually dissipates completely. Can a beer aficionado tell me what's going on? Is it on purpose?

It's probably a mistake. Over carbonation is a common brewing error. The smaller breweries make those mistakes. The big ones almost never do. Batch consistency is harder than people think.

Could be so many reasons… over-attenuation (yeast issue), too much carbon dioxide, could even be due to soap residue in the sides of your glass.
yeah, foam on a pour is one of the last things brewers worry about when making a beer. Could the carbonation be a little high, sure.
I'm hoping there isn't yeast in the cans but you can never truly avoid it and its not always bad, but in spirit almost all the fermentable sugars should be gone by that point.

We were able to get to Tox this weekend to see the new space on Bank Street. We ran into our buddy who gave us a behind the scenes tour of the brewery floor and the yet unopened event space with a speakeasy vibe. Beer was on point as always. More pics to follow.

The Sonora Imperial Stout was dynamite and everyone was digging the live Dart Frog exhibit!

Really good guys at Tox. Despite being on the other side of the state from my home, a visit to the new spot is high on my weekend beerventures priority list.

I wanted to get to Fox Farm and Little House too but the timing didn't work out.
dang that's some nice brew space. the light fixture over the bar on the other hand is... a bad idea.

The inevitable contraction of the brewery market in CT continues to push on. Quite a few very good quality breweries closing recently or soon:
There were also a bunch in the late summer/early fall.
Can’t get by with mediocrity any more. You need to be some combination of very good/excellent across most or all of: beer quality, physical location, distribution strategy, ambiance/vibe, & business management.
- Hopmeadow in Avon
- Great Falls in Canaan
