Nice group of mostly locals.
Bob T.

A fun spot to stop by for a beverage. In addition to being a brewing company, they also offer wine and cider tastings. Along with that they have food trucks and entertainment. It is so far off the beaten path most of the people there were locals and that was fine with us. For an even richer experience, you can book an hour-long horseback ride Fieldstone Trails that includes going past the Shotwell Run lodge and through their vineyards.

The views alone are worth a trip, especially if you aren't from the area and don't see sights like this daily. The selection of beer offerings was small, compared to other craft breweries in the area. Although they also have wine options, but none of us opted for wine. The service wasn't great. They were hesitant to let us sample anything before making a decision. And the server seemed annoyed that one person in my party changed her mind after he wrote down her original request. The prohibition ale is aptly named, it tastes like something from back in the day. We took a crowler of that one home. The maibock was my favorite. Delicious and very drinkable. I also got a Crowler if that one. Overall a good experience but I'd opt for other breweries in the area over this one for a second go-around.

I had a great time at Shotwell Run. The owners and staff are a pleasure. I enjoyed every beer I tasted during Oktoberfest - spoiler: I had all of them. The view from the back patio is everything you need when it's time to sit back and relax with a beer. If outside isn't favorable, there's also a large tasting room. I can't wait to head back out there this spring.

As soon as we walked in the door, my wife and I were instantly charmed by Far Gohn. We were on a…read moreweekend trip in Shenandoah for our anniversary and craving a cozy local spot for a pizza and a beer. Far Gohn hit it out of the park. Definitely a local tavern...they reminded me more of the pubs you find in a small European town or the UK. Warm, cozy, and inviting. We immediately felt at home. Now to the people who complain here that they were "ignored" by the bartenders or that service took forever...read: local spot. If you're from out of town and you're expecting rushed service and the immediacy of the big city, this might not be the place for you. But if you're looking for something truly special, slide up to the bar. Be patient...the bartender will be there as soon as they're done listening to Old Bill tell his story. Order a beer and a pizza and take a seat at one of their small tables. Enjoy and unhurried drink. And right about the time you're feeling like ordering a second beer, your hot, delicious, perfectly cooked pizza will be dropping out of the ceiling on a dumb waiter (yes, from the ceiling...you read that right). Smother it in locally made hot sauce (an unexpected plus), grab your second beer and enjoy that delicious pizza with someone you love, or the new friend you made at the table next to you. But for God's sake, be patient, be kind, be respectful. Cause you're likely visiting, and Far Gohn is all about the local vibe!!

I've been to Far Gohn a few times with friends and it's become a bit of a staple in the town…read more There's quite a few people who are regulars there and there's this unique vibe to the place that really makes it stand out from everywhere else. That being said, there's some issues with it that are hard to overlook. I'll start by saying that the staff are mostly really kind and professional. There have been one or two who looked like they hated their jobs, but everyone else has been attentive. There's not a whole lot of seating space available at this location. So, if you're trying to visit during peak hours, it might be a bit difficult. There's some outside seating available, but if it's raining or anything, it's not recommended. The chief problem I've had is with the pizza. Nevermind the fact a German style brewery is making pizzas - the pizzas themselves are an absolute hit or miss, with most of the time being misses. The pizzas are overpriced for how inconsistent the quality is. They're either just right or super crunchy and inedible. If you're ordering to-go, add 10-20 minutes to the wait time they give you and that's how long it'll actually take. If you're here for a decent brew, it's a decent brewery with a bit of a following in Culpeper and it's worth checking out. I'd steer clear of the pizzas.

It was a chilly day and we followed the instructions to ring the bell when we were outside. Shout out to the folks here who provide the cute cat with a heated blanket to lay on during cold weather. Members of the staff quickly came by to let us in and we walked into a empty sitting area. To be fair, it was around 3:00pm on a Wednesday. The vibe inside is eclectic, homey, and comfortable. We grabbed a seat at a table near the fire. We had time to review menu. I picked a classic Whiskey Sour and my Mom got one of their warm whiskey cocktails. Both of us really enjoyed ours. We sipped and savored them and just enjoyed a bit of a respite from our road trip. We both got a bottle of their whiskey to take home with us. These aren't your standard whiskeys and they are definitely more expensive than what you'd probably get in the liquor store. We've been enjoying our purchases at home since our visit. Copper Fox is a nice stop and I'd recommend it to folks wanting a break and a beverage.
