Spruce Tip NEIPA

Today I’m brewing a 3 gallon batch of spruce tip IPA on my Anvil Foundry 6.5 gallon brew system. Spruce tips form in the spring and have a citrus and pine-like aroma. They can be used to make spruce tip syrup, ice cream, cookies, and a billion other things, including beer. The best ones have just emerged from their papery covering and they’re gonna be within reach, at the bottom of the tree.

I think this goes without saying but adding foraged botanicals to your beer introduces some risk and I’m not totally sure how this will turn out. But who knows - maybe we’ll learn something.

Now, let’s make some beer.
