Today there is a renaissance in micro-brewing and craft distilling.

It is estimated that there are 15, 000 modern moonshiners in the USA and the industry is currently going through a renaissance.
Some home brew shops and internet brewing supply companies are selling the15-gallon pot stills like hot cakes.
