TOGETHER WITH

Good Morning Chester County,

If you went to the Phoenixville Firebird Festival this past weekend and didn’t bring your ice skates for the field that froze over…we hope you stayed vertical all night (some didn’t).

Aside from clumsy stumbles and some brief delays it was an excellent time with live music from local bands and a fire that (we bet) you could see from outer space.

If you didn’t go, check out our Instagram @ChesCoBuzz for a glimpse at how it went.

February has some great events coming up like an exclusive speakeasy, Kennett’s Brewfest, and an interactive live Beatles tribute show.

More info throughout the month coming up.

This is what we’ve got on tap this week:

• Drink Not Pizza 🚫🍕

• Adopt Roomy & Edgar Allen Paw

• Why You Buy Local

• +30 Other ChesCo Events To Fill Up Your Calendar

Support Local: Drink Not Pizza 🚫🍕

It’s a vodka drink

You’ll notice that we don’t include sponsors on every email.

This will never become a billboard…but from time to time we are excited to partner with local businesses that we admire and that you can trust.

Well, if you haven’t heard of (or tried) Not Pizza yet let me tell you:

We trust you will love it.

This past weekend we met up with owners Chris and Luke to test out each flavor and learn more about what they have going on.

Here’s what you need to know…

Currently they have the following flavors available:

• 🍋 Lemonade (non-carbonated)

• 🧊 Iced Tea (non-carbonated)

• 😋 Berry (carbonated)

• 🍊 Orange (carbonated, our current favorite)

What I appreciate most about the drink is the balanced level of both flavor and carbonation… AND the drinks are made with real sugar, so you don’t get any of that artificial aftertaste.

Our family and friends tried them before the Firebird Festival on Saturday, and it was a hit…so much so that we’ll have to restock for our super bowl party 😁

Currently, you can find them throughout the county at the following distributors and restaurants:

• Distributors

  • Superior Beverage - Phoenixville

  • Beermill - West Chester

• Restaurants

  • Rivertown Taps

  • SOKO Bag

  • Hares Hill Brewing Co

  • Bistro on Bridge

  • Sly Fox - Phoenixville

  • Sly Fox - Malvern

  • Valley House Bar and Restaurant

  • Sedona Taphouse - Phoenixville

  • The Stables Kitchen and Beer Garden

  • Bloom Southern Kitchen

If you’re ready to upgrade from your tired, boring seltzer drinks we know you won’t regret drinking Not Pizza.

‼️ The owners are inviting our readers out to launch events throughout the month at various locations around the county…check the featured events section to learn more!

A curated mix of local stories, updates, and announcements from our team.

📍 Buying Local

We were having a conversation with friends last week about the importance of buying local, whether it’s the independent coffee shop or a new startup.

No surprise, most of us shop local as much as we can, but we were surprised at what people’s first reason was.

So, we’re curious…

 ♥️ Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Roomy

Be warned: By clicking on the button below there is a strong likelihood you will fall in love with this pup. This absolute chunk is hoping you’ll make some roomy (sorry, had to) in your life and adopt him.

🐱 Meet Edgar Allen Paw

Once upon a midnight dreary, while you pondered, weak and weary… this majestic feline was patiently waiting for his forever home!

Edgar Allen Paw is a poetic soul who promises to fill your life with mystery, mischief, and plenty of cuddles. Nevermore will you be lonely with this literary legend by your side.

(Did you really think I was going to miss the opportunity to write about this one?!)
