Pale Hoppy · Imperial IPA · 7.8% ABV

God of the Forest

We have an affinity for trees here at Tree House, and this beer pays homage to one of the most mighty of them all. God of the Forest is the colloquial name for mighty Tāne Mahuta, the largest living Kauri tree known to be standing today. Kauri trees are a type of large, ancient coniferous tree native to New Zealand.

God of the Forest. 🌳 As the hop lots roll into our coolers from our journey across New Zealand, some of our favorites are earmarked for beers such as this. Within a creamy body, pungent notes of fresh crushed grape, citrus zest, and sticky fruit juice jump from the glass. If you are a fan of our Fern series, then God of the Forest is our secret entry into this world of New Zealand hop blends.

To say that our travels to New Zealand have been influential in our recent brewing endeavor would be an understatement. Not only are the hops grown there produce incredible and unique flavors, but they can vary dramatically based on the farm and the wildly different micro-climates experienced on the South Island. It is within this variation that true magic can occur, and we have spent the last several years curating it into a selection of beers that we are so excited about. These are all currently available, as of 11.12.23, but they will not last long, and some may not be made again for a full year due to the difficulty and limited supply of their ingredients. God of the Forest - Select Riwaka + Motueka honoring the largest Kauri tree in New Zealand (and the world) Kia Ora - All New Zealand-grown ingredients, a first on US soil. Combines Riwaka, Pacific Sunrise, and Nelson in a blissful pale ale. Magic of Garston - Magic of Garston features hops exclusively grown at this tiny Southland farm. Hundreds of miles removed from other New Zealand growers, these Garston-grown hops exhibit a character that is unlike anything else. A true double IPA experience. Manuka - Mānuka is a brilliant beer and a testament to Tree House's unwillingness to let raw material costs deter our brewing endeavor. Containing literal buckets of this renowned New Zealand honey, it contains a depth of character that is a true joy. Silver Fern - Peacharine + Nelson + a proprietary blend of New Zealand-grown hops. The gem of our New Zealand-centric lineup. It brings us so much joy to make these beverages. We hope their stories can add to your enjoyment of them. Thank you for reading - have a great Sunday.

Today we are pleased to introduce God of the Forest. It's hard to imagine a beer that could top Silver Fern, but this just may be it. Brewed with a very exclusive and small lot selection of Motueka and Riwaka, God of the Forest absolutely bursts out of the glass with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and white wine. It is incredibly aromatic, juicy, and just an all around pleasure to drink. We can't wait for you to try it.
