Minnesota 13: 'Wet' Wild Prohibition Days

Welcome to the quite wet Prohibition era of Stearns County- a highly fermented era when according to author Elaine Davis , Nearly 100% of the residents of some areas were involved in the illicit liquor trade, speakeasies reigned with the full support of local citizenry, and local Minnesota 13 brew enjoyed a national reputation. Intertwining insights ranging from ethnicity and religious faith to law enforcement, geography, farm economics and regional history , Davis provides a portrait of those whisky-fueled lawless days that offer both a coutionary tale and an entertaining history lesson. Davis even provides a convenient recipe for Minnesota 13 Moonshine just in case they decide to bring Prohibition back once again.
