I really prefer beer flavored beer.

I can picture a bitter or pilsner lover saying the same about your rye IPA.

Possibly, but I think that's more of a question of style preference than beer flavoring....of course, I would think that!

Janis, if you make it, I'll try it!  BTW, I pretty much feel the same way about smoked beers that I do about spruce beers!  In spite of my BVIP recipe, I really prefer beer flavored beer.

I agree. I want the barbeque I'm eating with the beer delivering the smoky flavor, not the beer itself.

+1  While I like to try a smoked beer once in a while, I'm not a huge fan.  I once ordered a Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier MÃrzen before my meal at the local brewpub.  Every part of my meal tasted like it was filtered through a campfire - even the salad!

Wow, Janis, I didn't think the words "success" and "spruce tips" could be used in the same sentence!

Try the new Alaskan Spruce IPA.  They really know how to use the spruce to their advantage.
