At least they weren't making meth
Here in the burbs of the big city of Atlanta the local PD busted a local moonshiner with 110 gallons of sour mash and a large quantity of finished product. I didn't think it was profitable anymore. But maybe they were living in the past and trying to start NASCAR.

Uncle Jesse,
The normal price is in the neighbor of $5 a pint mason jar. More if it has fruit in it.

Normal for hard times to see an increase in bootlegging. With no jobs and no tax relief from the government folks got to feed the family some way. I would take a Mason Jar of Granddad's Shine over the overpriced stuff that the state forces folks to buy up here.
If I were their lawyer I would claim an alternative fuels manufacturing facility and have them apply for a federal grant.Seriously having never developed much of a taste for hard spirits but knowing a little of the history of shine of local manufacture I will take the stuff bottled in Lynchburg, Tullhoma or Kentucky where the government works to ensure there is a low lead content. The old moonshiners had some pride about the quality of their product, modern shiners are more interested in profit.

Alright Popperfly, don't go 'round misleading folks. You know there ain't no moonshine in Tennessee. There ain't no trout(s), neirther.

Some of the upriver boys around here make some fine stumpwater. Bootleggin' isn't limited to the eastern states. 'course a goodly portion of those upriver boys is decendents of tarheals.
