Modern Types
Though spruce has sometimes been used as a flavoring ingredient in beer, such as Alba Scots Pine Ale, and the Alaskan Brewing Company's Winter Ale, the only beer termed "spruce beer" is Wigram Brewing Company's Spruce Beer, which is based on Captain Cook's first beer brewed in New Zealand in 1773. Like ginger beer and root beer, spruce beer is a soft drink and not a type of beer, despite its name.

“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid.
