LOL. Before the use of hops, spruce was used as a preservative in beer. The craft brewing revolution has re-introduced spruce and I’ve had a couple examples. It’s not been overdone in either and it’s a taste I enjoy. In neither case did I want more than one at a time, but that’s how I drink beer anyway. Let’s just hope no one gets hemlock confused with spruce.
