I am an Iowa State engineer. We brewed up the good stuff.

Yup. I was driving through there once and came across a huge refinery. I thought: "What the hey, they don't have oil here."

Then I saw the sign....it was a fuel ethanol plant. Of course I always wondered if every drop of that distillate makes it into the transport trucks.

Or do a few bottles go.....elsewhere?

I worked in that field.

The 192 proof stuff isn’t very nice to drink. Does make great deicer for your windshield. Had to explain that to a Nebraska State Trooper once.
