Interesting story...

Looks like Moonshine is now legal and for sale in East Tennessee. This place in Gatlinburg is selling it out of Mason jars and trying to keep prices low, like the original moonshiners. What do you all think about this? Who wants to bet this will be very popular amongst the tourists and blue bloods from Knoxville?

It's not real 'shine cause Uncle Sam is going to get his pockets stuffed from tax revenue. I'll keep buying my 'shine from real 'shiners.

I was thinking the same thing :D I'd say most people who've had moonshine will continue getting it the way they've been getting it.

This is good news to me. My family has a history in the illegal liquor biz. My grandfather’s older brother used to drive the back roads of Indiana back during the depression avoiding the law, and their father was a speakeasy musician in Indianapolis. My grandfather recalled hanging out in the bars while his dad played gigs. I’ve never of course found out if the kids from his other family went to work with him. :)
Absinth was recently made legal, too. First thing I did when that happened was go out to buy a bottle. I didn’t “see the green fairy,” but the wormwood did affect me. In a good way.
BTW, can someone describe moonshine? How does it taste? Does it make a good mixer? Or is it best served neat?

Dane- depends on the quality ;) I've had some in East TN that had no bite at all...
