Gastro Non Grata is bringing beer, brew, and bands together for two consecutive weekends. The first gathering is May 17, in the Modern Cafe parking lot.

Private Dancer and Chooglin’ will wrap up the mini-festival. If “mini” is even a fair adjective.

Chef Heather Heartman (Spoonriver and Cafe Brenda) will serve a mushroom patè followed by Vietnemese grilled pork salad. Rush River Brewing from River Falls, WI will sample beers, Northern Brewer will brew homebrew to be sampled at the next GNG gatering, Mr. Fly with bring it musically, followed by Dreamland Faces, The Evening Rig, His Mischief, and Birthday Suits.
