On Thursday, Tree House Brewing Co. announced an ambitious plan to open a large new brewing facility on Cape Cod. On Friday, the brewery took it a step further, announcing plans to open in the Western Massachusetts town of Deerfield.

The location in Deerfield, between Amherst and the Vermont border, joins Tree House's flagship location in Charlton, which opened in 2017, as well as a farm in Woodstock, Conn., and a planned location in Sandwich.

The Cape Cod location is set to open by next summer, and the Deerfield location by late in 2021, or as soon as the summer, depending on coronavirus pandemic restrictions, according to the Tree House announcement. Both are planned as taprooms with pick-up operations.

The Deerfield site includes a nearly 100,000-square-foot building on 40 acres, with a location not far from I-91. The brewery showed aerial photos of the former home of the health and education company Channing Bete, with a large lawn off the South Deerfield Bypass, which doubles as routes 5 and 10.

"We cannot fathom a more ideal location to extend our roots to," Tree House said on its website in announcing the expansion Friday.
