Goin' Back to 'Sconnie


Gastro Non Grata is proud to be a part of Furthermore Beer's "Sh**ty Barn Party". Saturday, September 26th. 6pm-2am in beautiful Spring Green, WI. Forget the House on the Rock, catch a glance of the Frank Lloyd Wright House and head on down to Furthermore Beer's Shitty Barn instead. All it takes is a $10 donation.
Ten Bucks'll get you some tasty Furthermore beer, including the release of the their Fallen Apple brew, a blend of beer and cider. Delicious.
The Underground Food Collective from Madison will have a dead pig being rotated over fire and Chef Nate Berg from Chippewa Falls, WI to collaborate on how to serve animal parts.
Local good time rockers Private Dancer are kicking off their tour and promoting their new 7 inch and Post Rock Wonders The Chambermaids will be ending their midwestern tour promoting their new album. Madison will be representing with the stony, gnarly riffs of Droids Attack as well.
Craig Grabhorn and Nina Bednarski from the Art Department are installing their art in the Sh**ty Barn and will also be doing some on site T-shirt screen printing for the thirsty crowd.
Coffee will be provided by Just Coffee
And.... Wait for it.... An honest to goodness Meat Raffle! It lives on across the border. Thanks to Cates Family Farm pasture-raised beef. Donating a box of summer sausage, skirt steak, ground beef, and maybe for fun a heart, tongue and liver.
It may be six hours away, but it's going to be a good time. Don't park in the neighbor's parking lot. Pitch a tent, roll out a sleeping bag in the barn. Get a hotel or appoint a sober buddy, but don't drive drunk. We'll have Bloodies and Breakfast the next morning for anyone who stays the night and will thoroughly appreciate anyone who helps clean up.
This is an indoor/outdoor event in late september, in a very crappy, drafty barn. Plan accordingly.

Sunday August 23rd, Triple Rock Social Club, Doors at 6, $3-$5 donations at the door.
Gastro Non Grata 11, This time it's sustainable.
We welcome Sea Change Head Chef Erik Anderson and La Belle Vie chef de cuisine Mike Decamp into the fold to pair their piscatorial and vegetal culinary powers with the foamy eccentricities brought forth by Tony Magee, owner of Lagunitas Brewing Co.
Our Musical guests will begin with the whimsy of the Twin Cities Ukelele Orchestra, The yodelrific Rope Trick will bring good times and heartache, followed by double duty Tony Magee, brewery owner by day, dirty acoustic blues player by night. After the blues get you down, Double Bird will flip you off and get your head nodding, then the Dynamiters will fill your prescription for dirty snotty riffy garage mayhem.
Before you leave, Raul Saud and Victor Cruzalta of Helados Y Paletas La Chiquita in St. Paul will quench your parch with a tasty frozen treat and Northern Brewer will be on hand with the Rye Kolsch we started at our last show and concocting a new batch of gastrobrew for later use. Our Dead Meat Door Prizes from the wonderful people of Clancey's Meat and Fish in Linden Hills never fail to please. So if you have an excuse for not showing up, it had better be good and written in triplicate.

IN RECENT GASTROHISTORY


Secondly, I'd like to thank Rush River Small Axe for pairing, well frankly, almost too well with the salad. Your citrus finish and crisp, clean flavor really bowled me over. Nick Anderson, Rush River Brewmaster MC Hop Dog was kind enough to drive all the way to River Falls to brew it for you, get on that stage break down how they do it directly across the border. Here's a pretty picture of the Rush River Bubblejack IPA.

One thing I know is the boys from Northern Brewer were making the place smell like something good was happening while they brewed up a batch of rye kolsch during the last show. That'll make for a pretty darn good summer brew on August 23rd when we'll all be drinking it. Thank You, Northern Brewer.

The first of more band shots to come. Here's the wily and mysterious way of Dreamland Faces.
