"True West — scheduled to open in a few weeks — celebrates the village heritage of Acton and Boxborough with our unique V.S.B. (Village Supported Brewery) and farm-to-fork restaurant. Our 10-barrel brewery and locally sourced menu represent us — families, farmers, brewers, business owners, and community activists. True West will deliver delicious, masterfully handcrafted beer and food, while encouraging local sustainability through community involvement."
Chef Taylor Miller grew up around cooking and restaurants, and began working in the industry at age 12. Hungry to learn more, he enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu in Dover, NH. Stints at 43 North in Portsmouth (where he discovered his passion for scratch-cooked food), at Inn on The Blues Restaurant in York Beach, ME, and at the Green Monkey in Portsmouth prepared him for his career at 7th Settlement, a farm-to-table, Community Supported Brewpub. He is currently Executive Chef at 7th Settlement, which is sister to True West VSB. Taylor and his team have won numerous competitions, including the Portsmouth Chowder Fest and the Taste of Lake Winnipesaukee.
