Moonshiners Celebrate 250 Years of American Rebellion

The Discovery Channel's popular series 'Moonshiners' returns for its latest season on September 29, marking a milestone 250th anniversary of American rebellion and defiance against government pressure. The show follows Appalachian distillers as they navigate the challenges of producing tax-free liquor in a rapidly changing market.

In this season, farmers face surplus crops and stalled exports, prompting some to turn to moonshining as a way to make ends meet. Tim and Tickle, two well-known moonshiners from Virginia, take on a large order for corn whiskey from Canadian customers seeking tariff-free American liquor.

Meanwhile, other distillers in North Carolina and Tennessee also face their own challenges, including securing deals on grain and racing against the clock to meet demand. The season promises to be filled with drama, tension, and excitement as alliances are tested and rivalries heat up.
