Here in Christchurch New Zealand a craft brewing company produce a Spruce Beer which uses a recipe used by Captain Cook. The website reads:
"Captain James Cook was the first person to brew beer in New Zealand. He brewed ale style beers here during his visits in the eighteenth century. He used molasses with Manuka and Rimu foliage in his beers. The same ingredients are used in our version of this ale. A dark copper colour and clean distinctive spicey finish. 5%"
It's an interesting flavour and one of my friends occasionly turns up with a bottle or two. Manuka and Rimu are trees, if you have not heard of them.

Some of those ales would be appropriate for a thread like this over at the Aerodrome, if anyone ever starts one.
