Well they are building their 3rd (technically 4th since the Boston brewery is being being moved/replaced/expanded) brewery soon in CT.  They also have a warm weather only location on the Greenway in Boston that was so successful the city expanded the concept.  All with effectively close to zero distribution.  So about 98% of their beer sales are at the brewery.  To this day, even on a normal weekday, the parking lot will have license plates from multiple states.  Same at Treehouse and Hill Farmstead.

It's really a different market and model.  I'm not sure they are directly comparable. I do hear very good things about Monkish and Cellarmaker.  Opening a new tap room is a minor thing compared to building an entire additional (higher capacity) brewery.  The model in the west focuses on tap room/bar/restaurant plus good beer.  The model in New England is about beer, just beer and you may not even get to drink any.  Treehouse still has lines in hundreds of people just to buy cans.   And it is in the middle of nowhere.
