The Alcohol laws from Tennessee are different because they vary greatly by region.
The jurisdiction of local government (regency & municipality) in Tennessee by default is dry and does not allow the sale of liquor or wine. These governments must change the law to allow liquor sales and retail sales. In many cases, the county may be dry, but the municipality is wet. Selling beer does not affect the dry or wet appointment. This list may not reflect recent changes.

Distilleries
In 1810, registered distilleries totaled 14,191 and produced 25.5 million gallons of whiskey. In 2009, the Tennessee General Assembly amended legislation which for many years restricted alcohol refineries to just three districts (Lincoln, Moore, and Coffee). The revised law allows distilleries to be established in 41 additional districts (districts where liquor-by-beverages are legal). This change is expected to lead to the establishment of small distilleries, thereby increasing the number of Tennessee's whiskey producers. As of March 2013, there are five brands with at least one Tennessee whiskey on the market, and some with whiskey in a barrel waiting for release. Under state law, distilleries may sell one warning product at a location regardless of local law.
