Clips of Faith Beer and Film Fest








If we aren't talkin sushi, we are usually talkin beer! So Friday nights adventure should come as no surprise. Davis was one of the lucky cities, New Belguim Brewery's Clips of Faith Beer and Film tour was stopping at. Now I'll admit I wasn't particularly interested initially but Rich wouldn't let it go. After I reviewed the website further, I was convinced-whats wrong with yummy beers and cool film shorts. Plus, back in the day (like 10 plus years ago) I used to travel to Montana for work and Rich's trip present was always a 6 pack of Fat Tire Beer-cause we couldn't get it here.


The evening was cooling off and Davis was a buzz! We got on line after putting our chairs and blanket down for perfect viewing later. I love the inflatable film screen. So we got our passports, describing NBB's 20 plus beers available for tasting. Kids in a Candystore! We tried dark, light, sour (too sour) bitter, sweet, peppery and smokey! Beyond the joy of beer sampling...there were other booths to explore, NBB did this right. You could buy shirts OR screen print the shirt you were wearing...yes another excuse for Rich to walk around without a shirt. Oh, then there was the BlendOMatic!!!! For a mere token you could customize a beer sample to your taste. The BlendOMatic was genius machine with a mesh wire top-see if you can find the picture I took over the top :D


Then there were the movie clips-Spectacular, moving and genius. Hopefully you'll be able to see the Oakland bicycle gang, Jackson Hole and the talking beer bottles films. All in all, I'm so glad Rich prodded me to go-a perfect summer event.
