This seems like you're walking into someone's basement home brew room. And it is in many ways. It looks like it's home brew shop that sells its 'home brew' on tap and you can buy your equipment and ingredients here. My wife, who loves IPA's, went with the Ruin Jason double IPA. Any double or triple IPA is a true test of a Brewmeister. And this one passed with flying colors - as the added hops were there to add character not just mo' bitter. I had a Big Toby - an Imperial Red. It could have used a little more oomph, but was a delightful sipper. BTW, you can get a 4 OZ glass, which was what we both had after a huge lunch with a drive home awaiting us. Plus - you can get your Shenandoah Beerwerks Passport stamped! It's small with tough parking nearby, but if circle a few times you'll find something. But - this is true anywhere in downtown H'burg.

We love going to the Farmers Market and it's open all year long on Saturdays and open on Tuesdays also during the growing season. We particularly like the Staff of Life, a bakery that makes the most outstanding breads, rolls, breadsticks and other baked goods that I've ever tasted. We get all of our breads there. There are also several Mennonite farmers with fresh produce, jams, grapes and nuts and much more. The variety is pretty good too from handmade oak, maple and other wood goods and furniture, kettle corn, wine distributors, fresh pork, beef and other meats and much more. On Saturdays during the warm months there is usually vocal group or small musical group on the grass playing great songs.
