Not just another moonshine place. Come sample the best selection of Whiskey, Moonshine, Cream Liqueurs, and other spirits inspired by our roots in the Smoky Mountains.

This is a great place to stop in. Ling helped me last week while I was in town dropping my son off at school. There is a wide selection to choose from and everything is tasty. My favorites are the Blackberry Whiskey, Peanut Butter Cup Whiskey and their Hammershine White Lightning Moonshine. Try any one of those and you will be pleased.

We are craft beer enthusiasts and make every effort to visit as many as we can. We returned to Hix Farm Brewery and found the beer offerings to be tasty and diverse. I had a flight, then switched over to a sour, and all were good. Give this place a try.
