Quaint throwback to humble beginnings.

Who broke some rules.

This man (pictured left) was convicted of some crimes, some of which were indeed legitimate reasons for needing to be arrested, like owning a firearm as a felon, but the moonshining charges (yeah, it's illegal, but that's beside the point of my argument.

Making moonshine is something that people have done for generations, all of the ingredients are legal, all of the products are legal, the only illegal thing that is in question here is the fact that Uncle Sam doesn't get his cut.

Like marijuana, when the government realizes that they can make money off of something illegal, they might decide to legalize it, if they can make a profit.

The question here is that part of the reason that moonshine is so novel is the level of alcohol (which the government will eventually regulate) and the cheap price (which the government will fuck up as well).

In my opinion, all this boils down to is that there ain't no rest for the moonshiners, and that part of the process of making moonshine will still have to be the fact that it's so illegal.
