Dude, Huntsville had beer in the 60's, you just had to buy it from the "ABC" stores (Or drive to Bullard's liquor store at the "county line past the "new airport"). I enjoyed a nice microbrew in Huntsville a few years back, "Old Towne"...I was sad to see them close. It was also served @ Big Ed's Pizza.

Oh, and you COULD buy JD at the distillery during the bicentennial in the commemorative bottles. I had one blow off the pewter/cork stopper in the trunk of one of our Acuras in downtown Nashville a few years back when it was sitting in a hot parking lot. Man, did that car smell good for a few days!
(Those who take the factory tour might still get a glass of "Jack Yellow" at the end of the tour.
