NEW BELGIUM BREWING PULLS BACK THE CURTAINS FOR
\u201cCLIPS OF FAITH\u201d, ITS 14-CITY BEER & FILM TOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NewBeer, Film, Folly and Fun in One Tasty, Traveling Event<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Collins, Colorado <\/strong>\u2013 New Belgium Brewing, maker of Fat Tire Amber Ale, has rounded up the winning Clips of Faith film submissions and they\u2019re taking 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 of New Belgium\u2019s most esoteric beer offerings. The Clips of Faith Beer & Film Tour (<\/em>www.clipsoffaith.com<\/a>) will screen in fourteen cities throughout the summer and fall of 2010, beginning in Madison, Wisconsin on June 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tour combines our great passions \u2013 folly and beer,\u201d said Meredith Giske, New Belgium Brewing event director. \u201cThese short films will do a great job setting the stage for the beers we will be serving from our Lips of Faith portfolio, which features some of our most creative and hard-to-find brews.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each stop along the fourteen-city tour will feature an outdoor screening of the collected films, a full tasting of New Belgium\u2019s Lips of Faith beers (http:\/\/www.newbelgium.com\/beer<\/a>) 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).<\/p>\n

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\u2019s love affairs with their bikes, assorted comedy shorts, and thought-provoking environmental pieces.<\/p>\n

\u201cCraft beer, sustainability and whimsy \u2013 all caught on film,\u201d added Giske. \u00a0\u201cAdd in some tasty Lips of Faith beer, and you experience New Belgium\u2019s style of show business.\u201d<\/p>\n
