NEW BELGIUM BREWING PULLS BACK THE CURTAINS FOR
“CLIPS OF FAITH”, ITS 14-CITY BEER & FILM TOUR
Beer, Film, Folly and Fun in One Tasty, Traveling Event
 

New Belgium Brewing, maker of Fat TireAmber Ale, has rounded up the winning Clips of Faith film submissions and they’retaking the show on the road. This first-year festival will bring people together for a summer outdoor screening of collected amateur short films accompanied by some ofNew Belgium’s most esoteric beer offerings. The Clips of Faith Beer & Film Tour(www.clipsoffaith.com) will screen in fourteen cities throughout the summer and fall of 2010, beginning in Madison, Wisconsin on June 16.“This tour combines our great passions – folly and beer,” said Meredith Giske, New
Belgium Brewing event director. “These short films will do a great job setting the stagefor the beers we will be serving from our Lips of Faith portfolio, which features some of our most creative and hard-to-find brews.”

Each stop along the fourteen-city tour will feature an outdoor screening of the collected films, a full tasting of New Belgium’s Lips of Faith beers (http://www.newbelgium.com/beer) and food from local vendors. All proceeds will benefit
local bike non-profits. The series will run between mid-June and mid-October (schedule below).
 

Entries range from kayaking buddies navigating grizzlies and whales on a paddling trip
from Alaska to Seattle, to an absurdist spaghetti western about a flat tire (and some
beer). There are visual odes to people’s love affairs with their bikes, assorted comedy
shorts, and thought-provoking environmental pieces.

“Craft beer, sustainability and whimsy – all caught on film,” added Giske. “Add in some
tasty Lips of Faith beer, and you experience New Belgium’s style of show business.”
