What is 'Moonshiners' Season 13 all about?

'Moonshiners' Season 13 is expected to follow the same pattern as the previous seasons, where the moonshiners will face challenges as they try to evade the law and create the best moonshine possible.

The teaser showed Mark Ramsey and Digger Manes setting up a plan to distill pallets of unsold light beer.

Josh, will make an entry back to moonshining after his racing injuries. Digger is expected to open up about his mother's rare blood disorder. Digger and Mark try to expand their business across the state of Tennessee. 

Tickle on the other hand will campaign to legalize home distilling in his state of Virginia. However, not everyone would be happy with Tickle's plan, as legalizing the process would threaten their family recipes and privacy.
