“Moonshiners” season 3, episode 8: “Rival Shiners” premieres tonight on the Discovery Channel.
In this week’s episode, Tim reaches a milestone with his first bottled batch of shine. Meanwhile, Jeff and Mark suspect a rival is encroaching on their territory. Elsewhere, Chico takes a risk that could cost him everything. Josh and Bill’s only hope at financing their shine operation is to consider bootlegging.
Here’s a series description:
‘Think the days of bootleggers, backwoods stills and “white lightning” are over? Not a chance! It’s a multimillion-dollar industry. But perhaps more importantly to the moonshiners, it’s a tradition dating back hundreds of years, passed down to them from their forefathers. It’s part of their history and culture. While this practice is surprisingly alive and well, it’s not always legal. Discovery Channel’s all-new series ‘Moonshiners’ tells the story of those who brew their shine — often in the woods near their homes using camouflaged equipment — and the local authorities who try to keep them honest. Viewers will witness practices rarely, if ever, seen on television including the sacred rite of passage for a moonshiner — firing up the still for the first time. They will also meet legends, including notorious moonshiner Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton.”
“Moonshiners” season 3, episode 8: “Rival Shiners” airs Dec. 24 at 9 p.m. EST, on the Discovery Channel.
