Last month Karley and I had the super cool opportunity to attend the New Belgium Clips Beer & Film Tour as VIP guests on it's stop here in Chicago, IL. As VIP guests we scored some beer tokens that we cashed in for samplings of New Belgium and Lips of Faith taps. We also got some pretty cool swag bags packed with New Belgium T-shirts, pencils, bottle openers, and pins. Needless to say, we felt like craft beer royalty!

We sampled great beer, ate some delicious sliders from The Slide Ride food truck and watched great short films. Each film was submitted to New Belgium and was selected on the themes of beer, the great outdoors, and story telling.

This was my first year attending the Clips festival and I am already looking forward to next year!

I hope you all had a fun and safe time celebrating the 4th of July!

Much Love xoxo

This week was definitely something to celebrate! It is Craft Beer week here in Chicago with special events taking place throughout the city until May 25th.

This past Wednesday, Karley and I attended the New Belgium Clips of Faith Launch Party and Beer Tasting at 1st Ward Events at Chop Shop. New Belgium and Lips of Faith beers were available, as well as small samplings of meat from Chop Shop.

We hung out, watched some short films made by fans of New Belgium Brewing, and enjoyed some great beer! The screening was a preview for the Clips Beer and Film Tour that is taking place at Eckhart Park on June 6th. The screening and the tour will benefit Alliance for the Great Lakes and The Recyclery Collective. The best part? We scored free tickets to the tour, so keep an eye out here next month for a full highlight!

Looking for something to do this weekend? There are still plenty of Chicago Craft Beer Week specials and events going down! Check out the full schedule here: http://chibeerweek.com/

I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Much Love
