Before it was legal to guzzle down whiskey, Bear Wallow Distillery has been secretly making alcoholic beverages like Hoosier Hooch Corn Whiskey Moonshine.
It was said that even during the Prohibition, Bear Wallow’s bubbling stills still dripped potent of their whiskeys and moonshines.
Hoosier Hooch Corn Whiskey Moonshine is made from 100 percent Indiana corn, and takes inspiration from the moonshine that was well-loved by locals before the Prohibition Era. The distillery behind this moonshine is one of the first craft distilleries around the state.
