I mostly prefer Treehouse's IPAs, and think they do a better job with some other styles.  Bear is the best brown ale I've had for example.  Red Ales, Porters, anything derived from the UK beer family Treehouse is amazing.  Treehouse has the edge in non barrel aged stouts.

Trillium still has some IPAs that are as good as anything from anybody.  They do a good job with German lager styles.  One the sour side, or with Saisons they crush Treehouse there.  So I'd say they do a better job with Continental European styles, more like Hill Farmstead in that way.  Trillium has the edge on barrel aged stouts.

I think the Treehouse setting is better, it's just gorgeous. They fixed so much that was wrong (moving the can line and pickup away from consumption area), and yes there are lines on weekend afternoons.  Trillium is a little more sterile, but the new space in Canton has a full restaurant and a large indoor and outdoor area.   Neither are remotely intimate anymore.  It's shocking really, thinking back to when I stood in the snow at the farm in Monson to get ten cans of Julius.

For a more intimate, but still interesting location that makes stellar IPAs and some other good stuff, Long Live Beerworks in Providence is great.
