Missed this last month: a BBC paean to spruce beer as brewed by Paul Patates in the Point.

I didn’t realize they brewed their own! I go there for poutine now and then, I will definitely be getting a spruce beer next time.

It’s an acquired taste I tell ya what. Tried it for the sake of trying… whew.

I kind of like it. Don’t think I’d want it every day. My mom used to drink it hardcore style, with a pinch of salt, which changes the flavour more than you’d expect.

I tried spruce beer once. I agree with the author – I did feel like I was drinking a tree. (I got mine at Resonance.)
And during that summer heatwave, I tried as much as possible to avoid restaurants and stores without air conditioning – I was surprised at how many there were.

This is the best news since the demise of the original Marco spruce beer!

That didn’t come out right…. Since the unfortunate demise of Marco spruce beer there has been nothing on the market that didn’t taste like commercial mass-produced stuff. I will certainly be giving these a try!
