Copper Run Distillery

What a great place! Enjoyed the tour and the sampling. Jenny has great way of making you feel welcome.

We found this place a couple of years ago. We are from Chicago and try to make it back whenever we visit family! Great atmosphere.

This is our favorite place near Branson. Excellent spirits (the apple pie is my favorite) and wonderful atmosphere. Gorgeous view of the woods on the outdoor deck.
We have family in the area so we like coming here everytime we visit.
We were a little disappointed to find out they’re not doing live music anymore. That was a highlight for us

While traveling to Branson you absolutely must stop in at this quant little hidden gem. Driving there sort of reminds you of the old time bootleggers and they way they had to hide and remain off the beaten path. Believe me, it is worth the out of the way drive to get there.
When you arrive at the small wooden building in the middle of no where, you truly feel like you are stepping back in time. Back to the time of prohibition and sneaking out into the woods to make moonshine.
They have a small country store set up with all the «fixins» for your own homemade apple pie flavored moonshine. It’s VERY good!
The servers are all super nice and attentive while they are dressed in period clothing. At the bar they serve things like pretzels, little fruit dishes and small salads etc. If you happen to be the designated driver they also have some really good flavored soda served in old fashioned glass bottles for you to sip on.
I recommend you take a step back in time and try some moonshine, you won’t be disappointed.

had a nice time on my visit to the distillery. enjoyed the tastings. price was just right. the tour was quick and to the point. definitely must try the infusions. fave was the apple pie and chai was not too shabby. apricot infusion was not a hit in my book.

Even though my husband and I are traveling with our 15 mo old son and I’m pregnant, that didn’t stop us from taking a tour of the Distillery. I was more interested in the tasting area as there were tons of rustic finds and bottled goodness to enjoy. My husband and other participants sampled moonshine, rum and whiskey.
The staff was very nice and approachable. While I couldn’t partake in spirits for obvious reasons, they did have really good homemade sodas to try.

Love this place! Great outdoor seating with beautiful view of the woods. The drinks are great! I’ve tried the moonshine sampler and the moonshine version of a margarita and both were very good. Excellent place to just chill on a pretty day. One of my favorite places to go.

Second time I have been here and I have to ding them a bit. We ordered their Moonshine Mary (which is FANTASTIC!) and the spirits flight. Several people came in for a tour — which we had already done before and was not interested in doing again. But, she had to lock the bar up so we either had to take the tour or sit outside and it was a bit too chilly to do that today. So as a paying customer just wanting to have a drink in a really cool place I was really irritated that we had to be part of something we didn’t want to be a part of. They need to rethink their tour process and not force customers out of the bar — after they have already settled in for a drink.

Great little place to meet and taste moonshine! Had a good time talking to some lo locals.

We loved it. Dixie was our tour guide, and she really knows her stuff. The brewer was there and was a very enjoyable personality. If you have the Branson Guest Card (green card) you can get a free «spirit flight» to sample all 3 of their products. Tasty stuff!

Had an excellent time. Dixie provided great service, the moonshine, whiskey and rum were really good and the tour was informational!

It’s a very small place & the tour is quick. But I liked the $ 5 moonshine taster flight, and the bartender was great and knew her stuff. The 160 proof moonshine ripped the hair off my chest, but the 80 proof was much easier to handle. But I really liked the Spirit Whiskey, bought a bottle to enjoy at home. I highly recommend this place, it was a good time.

We were on our way back home to Dallas from St Louis and decided to check out this distillery. We were so glad we did. It was a wonderful experience. It’s a very informal tour but filled with good information. The tasting room was charming. We were able to try all 4 of their beverages. Two kinds of moonshine, a whiskey & a rum. All were good but the whiskey stood out as the best. Dixie was a great hostess and bartender. We will make a return visit when we return to this area.

We were told this place was ‘out of the way’ and they weren’t kidding! It’s far enough off the highway you start wondering if your GPS lead you astray and then… there it is.
We stopped by the Monday before Christmas. We tried both the standard fare moonshine, whiskey and rum as well as an infused sampler. The whiskey was smooth and the infused samplers were all good. I’m not much of a straight moonshine or rum person, but those were OK as well.
Definitely worth the trip!

Our local friends invited us here on Thursday for open mic night. What a treat!
About 2.5 miles down a country road sits this cute place with some of the freshest music I have heard, including Shannon Webber, the finger picking champion of Arkansas. I wish I could name all the players but the moonshine, that tasted just like cherry pie, clouded my memory. Most sang original material. There was a talented 17 year old girl who sang as well as she played. (Maddie?)
If I lived here I would be here all the time.
We sampled a few of the offerings and they were delicious. I wish I had bought a jug, but I have since heard that they will ship.
There was an adorable dog named Jack that greeted me and sat under our table and occasionally sang along.
If you love music check this out. They also have house squeezed limeade and lemonade and some pretty interesting all natural soda pop.

This place is SO worth the effort to seek out and drive to — it’s at the end of a country road and is a smallish sort of building with the distillery on the lower level. The tour was quick — just a stop in their distilling area with a sampling of moonshine, whiskey, and rum. The real jewel of this place is the live music and handcrafted cocktails. We came as a group of six and each ordered a different drink from the bar so we could sample several different ones — each one was out of this world. Go! Now! Enjoy! :)

This place is so fun! The moonshine is fantastic, the staff is super fun, knowledgeable, and provide a fun place to sit back, try some new things, listen to music, and nibble on some damn nice food. The mixed drinks are all made fresh, from fresh ingredients, and executed perfectly. I will certainly go back again, oh yea, and they give tours! If you don’t come here you are a GIANT tool

I wouldn’t have known this place existed without doing a winery tour and this being an extra on the list… wow I’m so glad it was. I’ve tried moonshine before and have NEVER drank it without feeling like my insides were burning… until I tried Copper Run’s Moonshine. They let us try the Moonshine, Whiskey, and Rum. I’m not a great judge on the whiskey since I’ve never drank it straight (any kind) and liked it… but the Moonshine was smooth, so smooth in fact that I made sure to come home with a bottle. Everyone here is very nice. We got a great tour and will most definitely be back!

A friend recommended C.R. as a fun little place that’s out of the way, and she was right. It was slow in the bar area when we arrived, and not what I’d call a ‘bar scene’ where regulars come to hang out & drink on a daily basis. It was quite wholesome and I would not be afraid to bring children here on a short visit. The customers I saw were mostly there to view the distillery and in and out pretty quick, like at a shop.
However, on the weekends they have a band, so they must have their busy times then. There was a fire pit outside with seating, and a smoker off to the side of the building.
We were warmly greeted at the bar and received free samples of different spirits, cheerfully poured, which were distilled, aged & bottled on the premises. I particularly liked the moonshine, which was very like a nice white tequila, and the flavorful dark rum. The room was clean & cozy, with a few antiques around, but not kitschy. There is plenty of seating on the sunny front porch (and a dog or two to pet), and also a shady back deck which overlooks the edge of the woods. It was pleasant, homey, a great place to kick back & spend some time. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable about their product.
Tours of the still-​room are every ½ hour, in the basement of the building. The still area was very small & I was surprised to see just how tiny an operation could support the owners and employees. The tour was brief, informal & interesting. Questions were welcome & the guide was glad to discuss different points of production with my Dad (who was a bootlegger in a Muslim country 40 years ago) as long as he cared to.
They do not serve meals here, but there are 4 or 5 options of Mediterranean style appetizers; I would love to back and enjoy some!

Copper Run Distillery is located 10 miles north of Branson, MO. Sample room is open 10 – 7 everyday with live music on Sundays. Took a quick tour with the owner and distiller, and learned quite a bit about the distilling process and then did some sampling of some of the smoothest tasting spirits out there. I liked the Moonshine, Vodka, Gold Rum, and Whiskey.
