Beers brewed with Spruce, and other vareties of Pine, were introduced to Scotland by the Vikings. They would spike beers with fresh Spruce Tips prior to long journeys and before battle. This gave us an idea and after a few scouting pointers from the San Juan National Forest Service, our intrepid BrewDawgs went galavanting out to Little Molas in search of fresh growth Spruce Tips for our rendition of the battle-worthy brew. This, our modern day version, is pin-bright, complex and sprucy with a big mouth feel.
