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.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or types:
“Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
