New Belgium Brewing’s Clips Beer & Film Tour Returning to Colorado Springs in 2016

Today, New Belgium announced the stops for their Clips Beer and Film tour for this summer! To our delight, Colorado Springs has again been included on the list. Local outdoor advocates UpaDowna always help rock out the Bike Valet, so we hope they're involved again this year!New Belgium Brewing’s 2016 Clips Beer and Film Tour is traveling across the U.S. in 2016, celebrating the brewery’s 25^th anniversary while raising money for local nonprofits. This year three new cities join the line-up: Oakland, CA; St. Petersburg, FL; and Philadelphia, PA. The tour kicks off in Bloomington, IN on May 20^th and concludes in Philly on October 21^st. This is the seventh year for Clips, which is a free event, with all proceeds from beer sales going to local nonprofits. Since its inception in 2010, Clips has raised $659,000 for nonprofit organizations, including more than $150,000 last year.

“We have been working with many of our Clips partners for seven years and we are excited to celebrate New Belgium's 25^th anniversary with all of our non-profit friends across the country, along with everyone who comes out to enjoy a wonderful night of beers and films,” said Christie Catania, Clips national special events manager. “We will set up in great local parks, including a few new stops, to benefit some amazing beneficiaries. This year you can expect more games, new unique beers, and a film line-up only available at Clips. It is going to be a great year! Come out and play with us!”

New Belgium, promoters of environmental stewardship, encourages attendees to think twice about throwing away trash, with a significant amount of waste diverted from landfills at each stop. In addition, all locations will have bike valet, encouraging people to ride their bike to the showings. New Belgium also just recently joined The Conservation Alliance, an organization of outdoor businesses whose collective contributions have played a key role in protecting rivers, trails, wildlands and climbing areas across the United States.
