    Glad the article calls out the toxic needles to avoid. If you aren’t reading the article, you should know some pine needles are toxic.

    Some pine needles are edible. Some pine needles are toxic. Likely a good idea to avoid the pine needs that are not green.

    During the American colonial period it was apparently a thing to make beer from Spruce as well.

      If it tastes anything like pine needles smell, I’ll probably enjoy it. I live in an area with plenty of conifers and already have plenty of those bottles. I’ll try it out next week and let you know.

          No luck, unfortunately. It appears that little to no fermentation took place; I still just have some water sweetened with honey. There has been a lot of heavy rain recently, so I suppose it’s quite possible that too much wild yeast had been washed off by that

    Is this the same thing that they sell as “spruce beer”?

      Maybe, maybe not. Spruce needles can do the same preservative job as hops do in beer while creating a different flavour, and some regional styles of beer (as in, an alcoholic drink made by fermenting barley or wheat) use spruce needles in this role. In other cases it is something more like this post though.
