3rd Annual Brews and Blues In Hatboro Friday

HATBORO, PA —It's time for some brews and some blues.

The Borough of Hatboro is holding the 3rd annual Boro Brews & Blues Fest from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at the historic Cressbrook property at 445 S. York Rd.

"We are excited to present this event to help support Friends of Cressbrook, one of the oldest, most historic, and unique properties within the borough," the borough said in a Facebook post.

All proceeds from the Cressbrook fundraiser will go toward the restoration and upkeep of the historic Cressbrook property. Tickets are on sale now for $50 per person or $45 for Friends of Cressbrook members.

Tickets will also be sold at the door. Click here to order tickets online.

Tom Smith, Cressbrook's treasurer, said he expects this year's B&B to be the best yet.

Salty Vets —which caters throughout Montgomery County —will offer a menu featuring pulled pork, pulled chicken, cheesesteaks, and mac and cheese.

Beer will be served by local breweries such as Crooked Eye, Artifact's, and The Ways, last year's Best of Boro's Brews & Blues winner who is back to defend their title.

The entertainment is the band Mojo and the Helper Monkeys seen often at Crooked Eye Brewery.

All patrons must be 21 years or older. No exceptions.

Included in the registration fee:

• An exclusive 2023 BBB keepsake-tasting glass
• A guaranteed 48 ounces of local brews
• Dinner from Salty Vets
• One entry into the "BEST of Boro Brews & Blues" beer competition (Patrons will taste and vote on their favorite seasonal brew provided by local breweries.)
• Three hours of entertainment provided by '"Mojo & the Helper Monkey' band
• One entry into Bucks County Cornhole's 'AIRMAIL' competition (prizes will be awarded)
• Free play cornhole during the event

Tables and chairs will be provided. Attendees can also bring their own chairs, blankets, etc., and set up shop to enjoy the festival.

Parking is available throughout the borough, specifically, the municipal lot behind Burdick's along York Road or the municipal lot behind Artifact's.

There is also a "designated driver drop off" at the circle in front of the Loller Academy Building. Please consider walking or ride-sharing to this event.

"Without them," we'd just have the blues," Smith said.
