Why? I would say more than a few Vol fans drank some of his brew while tailgating for a Vols football game or watching a game on T.V.

Wonder if it was suicide to avoid prison. Hopefully he passed his brew skills along.

A few hours earlier she had buried Sutton, 62, in a private ceremony in the mountains around Haywood County, N.C., where he grew up. He went to his grave in a pine casket he bought years ago and kept in a bedroom.
