    Just saw on Vine and Brews Facebook that they have it. For the guy looking in the Lansing area.

    Man this stuff is even better fresh! Wish I were up North right now among the pines knockin' these babies back. This reminds me of the It's About Thyme IPA I had at the brewery a few weeks ago. I wish more breweries would do higher ABV pilsners.

    I absolutely love this beer, and my wife hates it so that's great for me. Something about knowing this came from fresh spruce tips in the upper hand AND it comes from Shorts just gives me a huge sense of pride on how lucky Michiganders are to get this beer.

    Can't wait for Juicy Tree again.

    The label claims the Spruce Pilsner is made with Michigan hops, too. Loving the local-sourcing from Shorts!

    I could bathe in this beer. I trade for at least a sixer every year.

    I missed Juicy Tree and have a tremendous sense of envy for those who had it. Sigh.

    The Spruce tips come from an area right around Elk Rapids.

    I had a Juicy Tree last night. Still amazing!

    Got my spruce today on a trip up from Indiana. I was surprised to see Bud & Elsie's in Union Pier is gone. For future reference, any stores near the Indiana/Michigan state line that I should hit on Shorts runs?
