    yea, that's the one
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    Fascinating story and what a shame this man is gone. He sounded like a cool dude to hang out with. Wonder if he handed down his ways to the next generation.

    why would he have to? white lightning is white lightning.

    It's too bad he went and killed himself. Suicide is always not a good thing.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Why do kung fu? It's handed down... what if nobody decided to teach CMA anymore?

    what would he have to hand down exactly? one corn mash recipe is the same as teh next. It's not even comparable to kungfu at all on any level.

    it's mash, + sugar + water +yeast +distillation. the end.

    as for being a hillbilly, what is there to hand down there?
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Really??? NO skill in perfecting the recipe, NO training to get it right, NO hard work to make sure it's a quality product that doesn't kill people... right... no relation at all...

    It's important. Most "moonshine" is either made with dirty equiptment, sugar liguor with no mash whatsoever or cheep vodka in a mason jar to rip off the festival goers.

    Beer is malt + hops + water + yeast + distillation, the end.

    Beer is considerably more complicated than that.

    I know from experience.

    Not really. He pretty well summed it up. However, like everything else, to make make it and produce a superior product is difficult.

    knowing the ingredients and how to combine them is a learned skill.

    creating something that others appreciate and enjoy is art.

    as usual, david is coming off all high brow snooty...some of us knows how to deal wit dem types when they come a callin'.

    thanks to everyone else for holding the line

    That was my point; the list of ingredients is no accurate way to judge the difficulty or art involved in creating the finished product.

    I'm a brewer too.

    That's where our east coast Tiger Claw office is. I don't mean to make light of a tragic death, but I swear, this is exactly how I envision the TN crew. Ok, that's mean spirited. I should be nice to them because they bring me J.D. green label which you can't get here in CA.

    These mountain men can be the coolest peeps in the world, look at Oso for instance. One of these days Oso I`m gonna head that way again and take a left turn lock it in 4 wheel drive and explore appalachia. I would still like to learn more about this fellow, bet ya he was a hoot to hang out with.
