Bats, Bees, and Bushels - Farm Distilling in GeorgiaFor my first "visit" to Georgia, I wanted to find somewhere that felt truly of the land. You can't do better than Doc Brown Farm & Distillers.

It's all about Georgia, and it's all about the sense of place. Amy Brown, her son Dan, and Amy's partner Paige Dockweiler (the "Doc" in Doc Brown) founded Doc

Whiskey in Wyoming, via Nevada and NorCalIt's been nearly 20 years since I visited Wyoming, and I still remember it as one of the most beautiful places in the US.

This was the place Chad Brown wanted to bring his family. After years in Nevada working for the Gaming Commission and a small
