This tasting room is a preview of the brewing facility that Deschutes is going to build in Botetourt County and is an awesome way to develop a following for their beer before they open that facility. Small, but very modern, space with several bar top tables and window seats. There are only a couple regular tables, so you might have to get lucky if you're looking for one of those. There are a couple outdoor bar tops as well. The beer is great and I highly recommend a flight so that you can taste several different ones unless you already have a favorite from this brewery that you like to stick to. Several good I.P.A. options, as well as, some good darker beers also. There is a style to suit every taste though. The staff is friendly and very efficient even when the place is crowded. If you're exploring downtown, I'd definitely suggest stopping in here. No food served here other than meat and cheese plates, but you can bring your own in.

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.

Needed an ice cold draft beer after hiking all day. Luckily, this was close by and we had a couple beers with the lunch we brought. Great atmosphere and beer.

A friend recommended we stop here when we were passing through the area and are we glad we did. We had a perfect day to sit outside and have craft beer while enjoying a great view. Shrimp tacos were great, as was the turkey sandwich - good food, but go for the beer!

We had looked for breweries close to us and found Escutcheon after tasting the Christmas Ale in Union Jack Pub and Restaurant. The tasting room features about half light beers and half heavy beers, is very clean and has a friendly server. The beer not to miss is the Winter Ale (AKA Christmas Ale). Full of flavor, medium in body with several different spice flavors brings out the season. A mixture of ales, stouts and IPAs makes this a must visit. Food can be brought in or ordered in to eat. So if you are looking for a local brewery with great tasting beers, check this out.
