The family-friendly New Belgium Clips Beer & Film Tour is coming to downtown Asheville on Friday, September 4, starting at 7 p.m., with films starting at 8:30 p.m. at Roger McGuire Park. This travelling show is going coast-to-coast hitting 20 cities and is in its 6th year. Attendees will be able to take in a wide variety and "highly entertaining line-up" of short films promising to have something for everyone. For the beer-lovers: New Belgium beers will be available in 3-ounce samples ($1.50) or 12-ounce pours ($6), and you can even try an exclusive brew made just for the night. Other offerings include Cocoa Mole, Eric’s Ale, LaFolie, Pear Ginger, and Fat Tire and friends. Some of Asheville's favorite food trucks will also be on hand to feed the crowd. The event is free to attend and beer will be available for purchase. And, as is so often in Asheville, you get to drink for a purpose with 100% of all beer sales going to their local nonprofit partner. We asked the organizers to list their top 5 reasons you should not miss this event, and here they are! For more details and information, go to newbelgium.com.  Why You Should Not Miss the New Belgium Clips Beer & Film Tour 1.    Clips raises money for local non-profits and is free to attend. Clips is New Belgium’s beer and film festival that provides a fun interactive way for us to give back to communities where we brew and sell our beer, beyond our grant program. Asheville on Bikes is our Clips partner and 100 percent of the proceeds from beer sales benefit local nonprofits working to improve communities nationwide. In total, Clips has raised more than $620,000 for local nonprofits.  More than $45,000 in North Carolina alone!   2.      Bring your blankets, family, friends and creativity! Sit under the stars. Sample delicious New Belgium beers. Send a postcard. Study with our beer experts. Star in your own film.    3.      Films!  You may see your friends on the big screen.
