John shares about some of the history of liquor in North Carolina from baptists and bootleggers to today and shines a light on some of our archaic liquor laws that may be too prohibitive for local distilleries and business owners. 

Also mentioned in this episode:

• The pop the cap campaign
• Belgium beer line with the underground delivery system

In 1908 prohibition ended but in North Carolina in order to sell liquor each city needs to vote to prove they want it then they appointed a board to control the sale of liquor. This is called ABC in North Carolina.
