Dread Pirate Robert Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Answering me own question: I have tried moonshine three times in me life. The first years ago, the second two rather recently (within months). All times were very smooth, very fine, totally killer stuff. The thing about good moonshine is that it is so smooth, yet so strong, that one could easily overdose and friggin die (perhaps) if one didn't know ahead of time what one was getting into.

Slaine mac Roth Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 That's the one thing that always disapointed me. In my first year at University, I got to know an Irish girl who's grandfather made Poteen. At the end of the year, she promised to bring me some back for the start of the new term. Alas, over the summer holidays, she dropped out and I never got to try any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about a mystical beverage made only in secluded magical backwaters of the hidden places of america, by wondrous formulas passed down for generations, from the Cherokee king himself (or so the stories go anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Well, if the American beers I've tried are anything to go by, I hold little faith in your methods of alcohol production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wager your knowledge of American beers is woefully outdated. Time was, not too long ago, there was all too much truth in that joke: "what does american beer have in common with making love in a canoe?" Answer: "both are f***ing close to water." That is no longer the case, THANK GOD, since the rapid expansion of micro-breweries in the US in the past decade. Now, the US is blessed with an extraordinarlly delightful variety of an amazing diversity of beers, so your generalization is completely false. If you have sampled only a few varieties of poor american beer, that is your loss, considering the much greater constellation of much better varieties circulating in the beer universe.

American macro brews are the worst beers on the planet, but our micro brews are extraordinary. Very flavorful, and they actually taste good as they warm up! Oh, and yes, I've tried moonshine. It was several years ago. It had virtually no taste, except for the expected burn going down. I don't know if it was considered "good" shine or not.

tangy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) I used to drink vast quantities of that magical elixir AKA "Mountain Tequila". I went to school in the mountains of NC and I could score a half gallon of the goods for $15-20. I recently moved back to the area and there is a still plenty to be had! The quality is completely contingent on the producer. Some of it is excellent. Like any illicit substance its good to know the source. I personally always let my roomate drink a few shots first, if he still could see I figured it was safe.

Jack Aubrey Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I am almost ashamed to say that having grown up and lived most of my life in the American Southeast I've never even seen moonshine, much less tried any. I tried some homemade rhubarb wine once, though. It was OK, a little too sweet for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirmshander Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Had some on my trip through the Mississippi Delta a few years ago. I had stopped at a roadside place to get some eats and i started talking to the owner about all sorts of stuff,we hit it off and talked for quite a long time, drinking beers. Eventually he went inside and came out with a jar of clear liquid...woooheeee...... not to be taken lightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
