I don't know about fermenting trees, but lots of folk here in Norway drink hjembrent, or moonshine, especially out in the country. It's not legal, but popular none-the-less. In my part of Norway there's a local drink called karsk with a wonderful recipe:

Place a one-krone coin in the bottom of cup. Fill with coffee until you can't see the coin anymore. Add moonshine until you can see the coin again. Enjoy!

I got seriously messed up on karsk one night at a party way out in the country. It was terribly fun. And that one time was probably enough times for me!
