Charlton-based Tree House Brewing Co. is purchasing Tewksbury Country Club, a 50-acre golf course and events venue in Northeastern Massachusetts, the brewery announced on its website on Friday.

Tree House plans to “evolve the space into an expansive and inviting beer hall and retail store,” while continuing to operate the golf course, according to the announcement. A beer-to-go, which allows customers to order beer online, is set to launch at the location in the fall.

Located at 1880 Main St. in Tewksbury, the country club has been owned by Marc Ginsberg since at least 1998, according to the Tewksbury assessors’ database. The property includes a 17,700-square-foot venue space and is assessed at almost $5 million by the Town of Tewkesbury.

The expansion marks Tree House’s foray into Greater Boston, as the country club is located about 30 minutes from Boston.

“In searching tirelessly for a Tree House location north of Boston, we reached numerous dead ends when trying to find a property that met our standard marrying great architecture, accessibility, and an expansive outdoor environment,” the brewery said in its announcement.

The Tewksbury location will be the brewery’s fifth, along with its stores in Charlton, Sandwich, Woodstock, Conn., and Deerfield, which opened in January. Tree House also bought a 50-acre parcel of land adjacent to its Charlton headquarters in February, the future of which is yet to be revealed.

The 10-year-old company is now the largest brewery in Central Massachusetts, producing 41,500 barrels in 2020, according to WBJ research.
