The growth of one of Massachusetts’ most well known craft beer companies continues, as Charlton-based Tree House Brewing plans on opening a location in New York.

The announcement, which came via an Instagram post on Friday, says the company plans to build a new facility in Saratoga Springs. The location will be within an hour’s travel of a number of upstate New York attractions, including the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Race Course, and Adirondack State Park.

Tree House expects the new facility to create at least 60 jobs and add approximately $30-40 million annually to the area’s economy.

“Our commitment to quality remains unwavering. Our core values are unchanged. Our focus on quality is sharper than ever, retaining the meticulous approach we started with 12 years ago in our kitchen,” Tree House said in the Instagram post. “Our brewing volumes for the last five years have remained mostly the same, and it may surprise you that we do not crack the top 75 largest breweries by volume.”

The Saratoga brewery will be Tree House’s sixth location. In addition to its original facility in Charlton, Tree House has Massachusetts locations in Tewksbury, Sandwich, and Deerfield, as well as Woodstock, Conn.

The company was founded in 2011 by Nate Lanier, Dean Rohan, and Damien Goudreau; the trio got their start experimenting with brewing in a small barn in Brimfield.

The company remains a non-distributing brewery, meaning its products are only available for purchase on site at its locations.
