The Cloudy Town Brewers have arranged to have Elaine Davis, author of Minnesota 13, Stearns County's 'Wet' Wild Prohibition Days as a guest speaker for the event. "Minnesota 13" is a historical overview of the years from 1920-1933, when moonshine production dominated the county while the 18th Amendment was in effect. The skill of the local moonshiners -- combined with the perfect strain of corn -- produced some the best whiskey in the United States. It was bootlegged and sold in speakeasies from New York to San Francisco and competed successfully with the best alcohol rumrunners could provide.
