The Beer Dabbler will be supplying the suds for the 3rd Annual Clapperclaw Music & Arts Festival.
This local and national artist showcase had little room for improvement, only artistic craft and microbrews (see below) from The Beer Dabbler could have added to this very impressive lineup of music, arts, film, theater and fashion.
Sounds like fun as always… Gastro Non Grata 11:
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.
Jim Norton says this… I believe it resonates:
We make good artisan beer, right here in the Upper Midwest. There’s no excuse for not offering at least one solid local beer, regardless of how high-class your restaurant may be — in fact, the higher class your restaurant, the more you should grasp the marketing and moral appeal of supporting someone who’s laboring passionately — around the corner! — to make a world-class brew.
