–
’s annual Clips Beer & Film Tour is on the road, making its ninth stop of the 2015 tour in Seattle, WA on July 31. This beer-toting, film-traveling, nonprofit-benefiting show is going coast-to-coast hitting 20 cities in its sixth year. The best part is that 100 percent of the proceeds from beer sales benefit local nonprofits working to improve communities nationwide. In total Clips has raised more than $520,000 for nonprofits. This year the event kicks off at Gas Works Park
at 8:00 p.m. and the films start rolling at 9:30 p.m.
Clips offers a venue where guests can try New Belgium’s most esoteric beer offerings, while watching short films created by New Belgium fans. Many of New Belgium’s Lips of Faith beers can be hard to come by and Clips offers the best way to try them. Up to 17 varieties from Lips of Faith to brewery classics will be on tap.

New Belgium beers will be available in 3-ounce samples or a 12-ounce pour. Served up by local beneficiary volunteers, there's plenty of fun to be had alongside a host of traveling tricks and contests. Food from local food trucks will be available for purchase.
New Belgium selects approximately 20 short films for the tour each season. All selected filmmakers for the 2015 tour receive a trophy-worthy beer in a custom screen-printed bottle, made exclusively for the winning submissions. This year, chosen films include a panda with an attitude about craft beer, a mano-a-mano mountain bike brawl, a whimsical human-powered surf rig and much, much more! It’s a diverse and highly entertaining line-up with something for everyone.
“Clips is all about providing a great evening for the local community to enjoy together, while also giving back to it,” said Christie Cantania, Clips National Special Events Manager. “We changed the set-up this year and we are really excited to share the creativity of our brewers and film makers, as well as our new ambiance.”
