Hi everyone:
I got to spend the day at Big Spruce Brewing today with Jeremy and the guys helping out brewing their first spruce beer. Jeremy tried my spruce beer a couple of months ago and had this project on the go so we chatted quite a bit over the last couple of months about spruce beer. I also helped him get enough spruce tips to complete the batch. It was a real thrill for me as I have never brewed on a scale larger than home brew. The beer itself is a nice solid pale ale with just a hint of spruce. Its certainly not the spruce bomb I have made in the past, but it will definitely be palatable to the masses. I also got him to plug the club on the fb post today!
Cheers!
Jason

Re: Big Spruce Spruce Beer
Great Job, let us know how it turns out 
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
