good stuff's gonna start at I'm sure no less than $30; Crown, Turkey101, etc.

Another pretty cool field trip there: Lynchburg's only about an hour from Cullman. Now they sell Jack there at the still (not on Sundays).

Dreamland is pretty good too if you like ribs and bar-b-cue. I still haven't found a good bar-b-cue place here in Bham, like were on every corner down in Phenix City though.

There was an awesome Microbrewery in Huntsville. Unfortunately it burned on July 4th, and they have yet to reopen their new building.

Old Towne dumdumdum!

I still haven't found up here in Bham a pork chop sandwich like at 13th street bar-b-cue. I always ordered a "pork chop, hot (sauce), no (slaw), to go". Those are heaven If anyone goes to the Phenix Dragstrip and passes the 13th st bbq on hwy 80 and it's open, I highly recommend stopping in and trying their bbq.

yeah - if you're not too careful, you'll find yourself out in the north AL hills & run across some REAL micro breweries

The funny thing is that my boss was just telling me about watching the Jack Daniels distillery story on the History Channel. It never even occurred to me to try to tour it while I was there. Washington has a GRIP of microbrews and I like them much more than the taste of anything mainstream. Bud or Miller is like drinking nat's **** now. Locally it's Mac & Jack, Red Hook, or Pyramid, but there are a few smaller ones that will knock you out with one glass.
