I know there has to be lots of shine produced in KY :decoder:

Mine came from southern WV. A coworker of mines husband is a State Trooper there and it is given to him. :lol: She passes a quart to me now and then.

I first tried shine at my uncle's place where I hunt. The quality is quite variable. Some is hard to choke down, whereas the stuff I have now is really quite smooth. The best I ever had was made from wild cherries and came from KY.

I am sure there is a shitload of it around here, I just don't know the right redneck I guess :D

I live in a more populated area of Ky, hence not having any backwoods connections :dammit:

It is made about 30 miles from my home. Great stuff. Very smooth rye whiskey.

Many people I meet in Detroit, don't even know what it is. But in Oklahoma, like Hank said it, it's a family tradition! :gogdog:

Hold the phone! Are you in Detroit? I used to live in the 313. I do have to say, the folks in Detroit can drink. :cool:

I live in Virginia and the best I ever got was brought back from Detroit. He just got it there but don't know where it was made. In the past I got it for the price but it keeps going up.

Good shine goes down like water. There is also something called blue beer, not as strong but will still kick your ass. I think that it is pulled off the top of the shine, has a faint blue color to it. Damn, I am thirsty now. :twisted:

Easy access to good moonshine is one of the few upsides of being a major redneck :doublefu: :poke:

(me personally, I fucking love good grape shine... I'll trade bud for some!) :help:

Guillermo

I don't love the bud but I can send you some grape vodka. It is like potato vodka but a bit sweeter.

A number of years ago, my father received a bottle of some homebrew from a guy that had gone back to Poland to visit his family. Made from plums and kicked ass! Never did finish that stuff though... it 'ate' its way through the ceramic bottle.

My summers were spent in the southern mountains of PA, a type of area of were Deliverance could have been filmed. We would stay with my father's side of the family for cultural reasons.

Moonshine was a staple of my father's side of the family. It was made in the hills and drunk every weekend at community/family get together.

My first time I got drunk off it was when I was around 8. Two friends and myself took a jug from my Uncle Zeek. We did a shot (Cap full) and nothing but burning happen. So we did two more.

BOY did that get us buzzed and it was only the beginning. We drank about a dram and a half.

SO............................................

My Pa found me buck naked passed out under the front porch when he came home from work.

He waited until my hang over was "high noon" before he strapped me.

Yes there are pictures (Those new fangled Poloriods)...NO I am not posting it. :bwah:

the river scenes in Deliverance were filmed on the Chattooga River in South Carolina and Georgia

Yup - got relatives around there too.

I have a lot of cousins on my Mom's side that live around Suches, Georgia up in the mountains. There was a family still they made moonshine with near 1 of the cabins. Not sure if it's still there or operational as the cousin that made the 'shine decided to get clean & joined AA.

Very true Ken. There were some scenic shots filmed though the Appalachian Mountains including a shot done in Bedford, PA. Or so the sign says.

I have since edited my post to "COULD have" as it really makes no difference and not worth arguing over. The rest of the story is as spot on as my 40ish year old memory can make it.

sorry, should have thrown a smilie in there

I know that most movies are filmed in several different places

the only reason I know about some of it being filmed in SC and GA is because there was an article not long ago in the newspaper that featured one of the guys they used as an extra. He is still alive and still playing the banjo :bwah:

It is good that people keep each other on our toes.

As an educator I tend to have to fill three to four, sixty to a hundred and twenty minute classes with my own voice every day. It makes me a touch wordy. I also tend to get a touch poetic when I am trying to fill the setting of a story.
When I am not at my work place I get DRUNK and very sloppy on my research for nonacademic pursuits such as my pleasure time here at JDz.

There is a small historical sign near a barn on the road to my dead grandma's homestead that says something about "Such and such DELIVERANCE filmed here".

I have never stopped and read all the fine print, I did what sloppy researchers the world over do, assumed. :ross:

Yes it is as smooth as velvet going over the tongue and down the throat. You will not be slaughtered by the drink, but lain down softly to test the sky.

Your waking hours were relaxed, without pain.

When younger a friend's Father Chemist at a local HUGE WW plant would test ours for anything harmful. Always clear or he would pour it out.

Most of the water lily stuff out now is filthy.

I learned to drink moonshine while biking across lake Baikal in Russia (in winter).

I was taught to inhale completely before drinking so to be sure not to inhale the fumes after you swallow. The pure shit can even bite you with it's vapor.

Best drunk I have ever had.

I have had some good stuff coming out of the Theodore/Grand Bay & Coden areas of Alabama.

I think I heard that some of the VFWs in the area may have a "Private Stash" in their bars but not quite sure where that vile rumor came from:madaddy:

Me & CPT in a former unit I was in made a run from where I lived/was posted at the time in PA (he drove down from NY-typical "City Boy") and drove all the way down to SC,just to get some from his Cousins,or Uncles or some such. Thing was,he aint seen then in like,10 years,had no idea where they really were at,and I ended up driving for hours around some of the nice,and some of the not-so nice areas of charlottsville and surrounding (like 80 mile radius type surrounding) areas.

We finally did find the family,they were shocked to see him,since they barely knew him, we got a trunkful of a Chevy Nova full O' shine, and we were 2 drunk,happy campers.

I'd never do that again...ever. Directions first,or no trip:shockedevil:

some yrs ago, when I was a young lad, my brother in laws friend had a
glass jug of this stuff. he poured me about a half of glass full in one
of those old "peanut butter jar" mugs they used to make from glass.
needless to say, the stuff went down like cool water. smooth as any
spring water. after I finished that half cup or so, my ass was kicked
good stuff!!!:devil1: I think it was made in Georgia or Alabama.

Its actually not to difficult to find in the area where I live.There used to be a few bootleggers in every town in the county I live in.Now sadly most people deal in prescription drugs,and meth.Law enforcement trys to combat it,but its a tough job.

I don't drink anymore,but when I was around 14,or so years old I helped my uncle,and cousin do a run,actually all I did was help my cousin hide it,but I did watch,and help put it in half gallon jugs.That was along,long time ago.I never did like the taste though it was what they call money making shine, made with lots of sugar.

When I was growing up finding a still was pretty common when I went hunting.I remember once my brother,and a friend found a black hose in a small stream going around the hill.We followed it,and wallah, a working still.
It had three large mash containers.

There was four gallon jugs sitting under a shed,so we grabbed them,and took off.Turns out it was backings,and not to tasty. we couldn't drink it,so we sold it for 8 bucks a gallon.

Billy Redden was a local that was cast as the banjo boy

look under "production"

Most of the locations listed on Wiki are within 45 minutes of my house. Not really something I should brag about I guess :bwah:
