Hug a tree, raise a glass

I must admit that I had no idea that something as tasty as birch beer could come from a tree!  Chris and I stumbled upon Boylan's Original Birch Beer quite by accident at the neighbourhood supermarket which we don't frequent.  I'd heard of this years ago when an old friend from undergrad was musing about investing in birch beer, and had assumed that it was a variation of the kind of beer that usually comes in kegs, because that was the kind of beer that I usually saw him drink. Anyway, we bought a bottle to split, and it was quite good!  More like spasparilla than root beer ...
