    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.
