Gastro Non Grata (attn: Minneapolitans & St. Paulinos)

BEER. FOOD. MEAT RAFFLE. ROCK&ROLL. COFFEE. BETTER BOWEL MOVEMENTS. 

Sunday November 9 @ Triple Rock 6-9pm 
Music: Private Dancer, The Wapsipinicon, Tuesday's Robot, Hojas Rojas
Food: Mike Phillips from The Craftsman Restaurant grinds on-stage 
Beer: Furthermore Beer of Spring Green, WI pours some unique and tasty beers 
Coffee: Andrew Kopplin of Kopplin's Coffee in St Paul sobers you up.

"It's not as easy as it should be, but you don't have to live your life out of a package. Sure a frozen pizza at two in the morning it great, but if you're sober enough to at least cut up a roma tomato and and some olive oil on top, it's less cardboardish. The purpose of Gastro Non Grata is to welcome you to the world of good eating and drinking, you have to look for it because "they" are trying to hide it from you. The Olive Garden's and TGIStupids of the world want you to think their food doesn't come out of a frozen bag. We want to tell you about the few food and drink warriors in town that are fighting the good fight,Idealists with a purpose,People that actually give a crap about what they do and how they're recieved by real people. Better consumption means better bowel movements for all."

We give you everything we have. What more do you want?

EFG kicks booty.

Our partner in graphic crime, Erin Fuller, is again being honored by Print Magazine for her work with Furthermore Beer. Last year it was the label designs for Knot Stock, Proper and Three Feet Deep. This year it is for her six-pack design.

Congratulations, Erin! And thank you for bustin' your ass on our behalf for the last three years. We're proud of you, but not in that icky way John McCain is "proud" of Sarah Palin. Because that whole thing is just kind of gross.
