Tree HouseBeersHaere Rā
Haere Rā is a double IPA rendition of our recent Kia Ora release. Whereas Kia Ora's namesake translates as a versatile Māori-language salutation, Haere Rā is a Māori-language valediction. Like its predecessor, Haere Rā utilizes New Zealand grown and malted Gladfield Malt—imported into the states for use for one of the first times.
Leads with lemon & lime, passion fruit and lychee; also sweet. Feels juicy.

The Tree House beers Kia Ora and Haere Ra were both New Zealand beers in the truest sense because they contained all New Zealand-grown ingredients. And so our journey brought us next to @gladfieldmalt. Gladfield Malt, established by Doug and Gabi Michael in 2004, is a 100% family-owned maltings. The Michaels are a fifth-generation family of barley growers in the heart of the Canterbury Plains. They describe their malthouse as “New Zealand Craft Malts for Passionate Brewers.” That’s right up our alley. So, we worked arduously with the FDA to become the only brewery to importing Gladfield’s singular malts into the United States. Upon our arrival, we were struck immediately by Gabi’s Kiwi hospitality. In their office, we sampled dozens of unique malts, including Manuka Smoked Malt, Toffee Malt, Supernova Malt, Shepherds Delight Malt, and more. Following our time sampling malt, Doug Michaels himself gave us a gracious and extensive tour of the malting facility. It was clear from the moment we met Doug that he is ingrained in every facet of the malting process and has a deep passion for producing high-quality and distinctive malts. He was gracious with his time and shared the history and energy behind Gladfield. Doug shared that they are on the path to becoming carbon neutral and that the facility works directly with one hundred and fifty farmers in the Canterbury Plains. Following our facility tour, we were welcomed into Doug and Gabi’s home, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch and Gabi’s tasty homebrew! Upon leaving Gladfield, we felt a deeper connection to the beers we make with their malt and a memory that will energize our brewing endeavors for years to come. We are working on the next batches of beer made with these distinctive malts, and we hope you can appreciate the care and attention that goes into each of them, not only from Tree House but everyone in our supplier network.
