Lionnes In Downingtown - Exceptional “Other” Beer takeout

September 14th, 2008

I would be lying if I told you that there were no other places in Chester County to buy good takeout beer than Lionnes in Downingtown. However, since it is less than a 7 minute bike ride from my front porch to the sweet, cascading delight of a six-pack of Leffe, I am giving them a glowing endorsement as Downingtown’s true “Other Beer” takeout location.

As many of you WCBC T-shirt owners may or may not be aware of, the OBFUG initials stand for “Other Beer for Uplifting Gormandizers”, borrowed admirably from CBGB’s Other Music for Uplifting Gourmandizers (OMFUG). Well, whatever the hell a gourmandizer is, just go with me. Uplifting is the verb, and BEER is the subject, and a GOURMANDIZER - YOU - is the direct object. Any English majors out there who may disagree - grab a phillips head and go screw yourself. Lionnes is my pick of September ‘08 as the Chester County merchant of the month, going above and beyond the call of duty to bring more than delicious pizza (yes, the food is good too).
