Isn't moonshine a corn based product, not wheat?

Moonshine can be made using various main ingredients such as grains like rye, barley, wheat as well as corn.

Anyone have an idea of what the 6 deck box set will cost? *shrugs*

Heck it can technically be made by fermented sugar water, pretty much anything fermentable can be made into Moonshine which is why on the legal side you have all the different things from bourbon, whisky, whiskey, rye whiskey etc... What goes into the fermented mash that's distilled is what distinguishes it but when done illegally, all considered moonshine.

Stills are rather easy to make and even though destilling spirits is illegal in the US (even for personal consumption) one can buy a still over the internet. Hell there's even printed magazines dedicated to running moonshine stills. But in this day and age Johnny Law tends to overlook such a minor crime as making your own hard alcohol. They have more important things to do, like giving out speedo tickets.

Do you often get pulled over by cops at the beach, Chach?

It is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine They need to make sure the history is correct on the other 5 decks.

...or tequila!

So I was right, it's tequila!

No one likes gin anyways...

Not true; a classic GnT is still one of my favorites... but tequila is a much more interesting topic for a deck of cards.

Haha you got it ! But was tequila a big part of the prohibition era? But i definitely agree it makes for a much more interesting deck of cards!

They need to add a screw deck to the mix.
