Sounds interesting. The only info I can find is that the Scots brewed with pine before they used hops and I believe you use the young spring shoots rather than the needles per se.

I've read that the young needles are used (sprigs or tips). I plan on using white pine or yellow pine as we have lots of them around here. I was also thinking of tapping a tree and using some of the sap in the last 15 minutes of the boil. I've had this commercial pine beer: http://www.williamsbrosbrew.com/histori ... ?id=44#top and it is pretty good but it has spruce and pine and was probably tempered for the commercial crowd.

The Greeks do a wine flavoured with pine resin. Rasine or something I think its called. I had some once and it wasn't very nice.

A coworker of mine tried this. According to him, use them very, very sparingly. He said his beer ended up tasting like a tree.
