Each year we look forward to a select number of beer events that we can’t miss. New Belgium Brewery’s Clips Beer & Film Tour (formerly Clips of Faith) is one of them. Each year I ask rhetorically, what’s better than watching short, crafted films while sipping a La Folie on the lawn of Theis Park?
For the Clips Tour, the Rangers from Fort Collins bring a select group of films and a selection of their beer for an all-ages benefit for BikeWalkKC. This year marks New Belgium’s 25th anniversary, so they chose filmmakers who centered their films around the anniversary theme.
Gates open at 7:00 on Thursday, June 9 in Theis Park, between the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and Brush Creek. You can buy beer tokens at 6:30. Films roll at 9:00. Everything closes up by 10:30. Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. Please bike, walk or bus it to Clips. And, of course, find a safe ride home.
Food vendors will be cooking up dinner and snacks for purchase. You can bring in your own food, if you choose. Beer tokens cost $1.50. One token gets you a 3-oz. taster; a full pour runs four tokens. Every dime of beer sales benefits BikeWalkKC. Speaking of the beer …
