Moonshiners Star Josh Owens Surprises Fans with Reunion Photo
Moonshiners star Josh Owens surprised fans with a heartwarming Instagram post featuring longtime friend and fellow distiller Digger Mains. The caption read:
“Getting to hang out with my good buddy today. Where’s everyone at? How is everyone?”
The post, shared on May 13th, quickly drew attention from loyal Moonshiners viewers, who were excited to see the two fan-favorite stars spending time together again.
Moonshiners Season 14 Finale Recap
Moonshiners is a long-running Discovery Channel series that first aired in 2011. The show follows the secretive and often dangerous world of backwoods moonshine production across Appalachia. Featuring a cast of real-life distillers, Moonshiners blends tradition, survival skills, and outlaw spirit as it documents the efforts of men and women who make unlicensed liquor in remote locations.
Josh Owens became a standout cast member thanks to his grit, charm, and genuine love for the craft. His close bond with fellow shiner Digger Mains has been one of the show’s highlights for years.
The Season 14 finale was intense—filled with suspense, creativity, and high stakes. As law enforcement pressure grew, the cast leaned on their experience and innovation to stay one step ahead.
Mark Ramsay and Digger Mains found themselves under heavy surveillance, leading to a desperate attempt to dismantle their still site. With the help of Kelly and Amanda, they removed any evidence that could tie them to illegal distilling.
Things escalated when a sheriff’s car began trailing them, followed by a tense confrontation with Captain David Robertson. The two were detained, but thanks to a clever trick involving a damaged still, they avoided arrest.
Meanwhile, Mike Cochrell and Jerry Benson faced their own challenges. After losing their still site, they decided to innovate—building a custom column still capable of producing two different moonshine flavors at once. Their eggnog and peppermint shines were a hit, proving their ability to adapt and thrive.
In a heartfelt subplot, Kenny Law joined forces with Tickle and Henry Law to help moonshining legend Danielle Parton develop a lavender-infused moonshine. Using careful distillation methods, they overcame the risks of essential oils and produced a successful batch. The effort left a lasting impression, with Danielle even considering legal production.
Josh Owens and Digger Reunite
Josh’s Instagram photo with Digger sparked excitement among fans who are eager for any updates on the show’s future. While it’s unclear if the photo signals new filming or simply a personal visit, fans were quick to show their support.
“Two legends in one picture. This made my day,” one follower commented.
“Glad to see you smiling, Josh. Hope this means good things are coming,” another added.
Since surviving a life-threatening crash, Josh has been slowly returning to public life—sharing updates with fans and reuniting with old friends like Digger. Their bond, forged over years of distilling and storytelling, remains strong, and seeing them together again was exactly what Moonshiners fans needed.
