A few of our favorite things to share with you this month about local food and drink.

 

New Brew

Something exciting is brewing in West Grove! After an 80-year dry spell and then a successful ballot initiative (224 to 81 votes), Blondes & Brewnettes Brewing Co. will break the town’s drought. The featured brews use ingredients from Southern Chester County, and are locally inspired —Red Devil Ale named for a high school mascot and grain-free meads from local Swarmbustin’ Honey. Opening at Twelves Grill & Café, so come thirsty!  10 Exchange Pl., West Grove. BlondesAndBrewnettes.beer. 

 

Local Roots

Hot Mama

Mama Wong restaurant brings lip-numbing heat to Exton with spicy Szechuan cuisine. With a menu featuring regional Chinese dishes like Shanghai soup dumplings, smoked duck and mapo tofu—plus Cantonese faves for sensitive palates—Chef Hongbin Luo (Han Dynasty) serves up authentic Chinese comfort food.

Set in the former Ghost Light Inn next to the Bucks County Playhouse, Stella also boasts grand views of the Delaware River. Come for the food, and stay for the view!  50 S. Main St., New Hope.
