Little Fire

Little Fire is a smoked Helles lager made with German pilsner and smoked malts. The smoked malt provides a subtle but impressionable character to a hugely enjoyable, well-balanced beer. Pouring a golden-colored hue in the glass, Little Fire impresses upon your palate with notes of fresh-baked bread, clean lager yeast, straw, and whispers of smoke.

It is time. Little Fire is our Smoked Helles carrying notes of fresh-baked bread, clean lager yeast, straw, and whispers of smoke. The Helles can do no wrong. This versatile lager is full of rich malt character but somehow snaps to a clean finish every time. We use it as a base for dry-hopped lagers, a variety of wood-aging techniques, and, in this case, a kiss of smoke. Woodpile: stacked ✅🪵 Fridge: stocked ✅🧊 Marshmallow sticks: whittled ✅🔥 Get it.

We put this batch of Little Fire into a horizontal tank early this autumn and nearly forgot about it. Well, not really, but you might think we did, given the amount of extra time it spent softening and rounding out in stainless. We'll take a Smoked Helles any season, but it hits different in the winter. German malts make for a complex profile that leads with whisps of campfire smoke and ends as crisp as can be. Beers such as Patient Little Fire represent the pinnacle of our efforts at Tree House. They require meticulous attention to detail and, perhaps most difficult of all, extreme patience. Lucky for you, you don't have to wait at all - fresh today! #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Little Fire is our super clean and dry Smoked Helles Lager. A small portion of the malt bill for this beer is replaced with smoked malt sourced from Germany, and it makes a world of difference. Little Fire is everything you love about a crisp and malty Helles but with a curious and nostalgic whisp of campfire smoke in the aroma. It's a beer that is wholly fit for the season and complements everything about it. We're thrilled to have a fresh batch in our coolers. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Where there's smoke, there's Little Fire. Our Helles recipe gets a twist from traditional smoked malts. This crisp, easygoing German beer benefits greatly from this intriguing complexity. Don't be scared by the smoke; there's a reason these beers are revered in Germany. Sweet malts mix to create a base underneath the smell of summer campfires before a snappy finish. Little Fire is an exceptionally pleasant, well-drinking beer year-round. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
