Have you ever wanted to sample moonshine? If so, you’re in luck because there are a few places that will allow you to give it a try right here in Alabama! One of these places is Murder Creek Distillery. Tucked away in Foley and sitting right by the water, Murder Creek’s southern-inspired, house-made Alabama moonshine is all distilled, mixed, bottled, and labeled right on site. While this local “speakeasy” doesn’t have a secret entrance, confidential password, or escape route out through the basement, this one-of-a-kind distillery doesn’t serve up your typical moonshine either, that’s for sure! Check it out:

Murder Creek Moonshine can be found at Downtown OWA in Foley.

The history of Murder Creek in Brewton, Alabama is pretty legendary in itself, the name dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War. But the distillery is still relatively new.

Brewton was one of the distillery's original two locations.
Since opening for business in 2018, this family-run distillery has attracted travelers, locals, and curious beverage seekers alike because of its unique selection of house-made moonshine.

But this isn't any ordinary moonshine. In fact, the distillery offers a variety of delicious, specialty moonshine flavors that are constantly changing, such as Peach Cobbler, Southern Cherry Bombs, Alabama Apple Pie, Dixie Chocolate Mint, and many more. Yes, even Dill Pickle!

If you're unfamiliar, traditional moonshine is a descendant of whiskey. Distilled and unaged, it differs greatly from fermented and brewed beverages, such as beer and wine. This process makes moonshine quite a bit more potent than its other beverage counterparts. Every bottle at Murder Creek is distilled in small batches using a multiple-step process. This rigorous distillation method ensures high purity and clear, delicious taste.
Murder Creek Distillery invites everyone ages 21+ to come and try one (or more) of these flavors in their state-of-the-art tasting room.

Does Alabama have any waterfront restaurants?

From creeks, lakes, and rivers, to some fantastically underrated beaches, Alabama has no shortage of views. Fortunately, lakeside dining and fantastic waterfront restaurants all shine in the South – and Alabama has a plethora of those to choose from as well! From fine dining by the water to casual beach eateries boasting al fresco vibes, some of our favorite waterfront restaurants in Alabama include:

  • Cobalt the Restaurant, Orange Beach
  • Kowaliga Restaurant, Alexander City
  • Hard Dock, Decatur
  • Lakeshore Inn, Restaurant & Marina, Double Springs
  • LuLu's, Gulf Shores
  • Pane e Vino Pizzeria, Huntsville
  • Fire by the Lake, Guntersville
  • Sunset Pointe at Fly Creek Marina, Fairhope

 

Some of these restaurants can even be reached by boat! Others sit right on the river, and may not boast those beachy ocean vibes, but are certainly gorgeous, secluded, and undeniably romantic.
