Clips of Faith 2012

knoxville2012COFposter

In its third fabulous year, Clips of Faith is a beer-toting, film-traveling, nonprofit-benefiting show that’s coming to 18 cities coast-to-coast, including Knoxville! We took our love for beer and fans and put them together in this one-of-a-New-Belgium-kind event. You’ll get to try our most esoteric beer offerings – up to 16 varieties on tap! – and pair them with inspiring short films created by fans. And good news—100% of the proceeds from beer sales benefit the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club.

Fans of New Belgium’s Lips of Faith beers know these unique brews are not always easy to find. There will also be your favorite New Belgium classics and you can try them in 3oz samples, or a 12oz pour. Served up by our local beneficiary volunteers, there’s plenty of beer fun to be had with our other traveling tricks and contests. Plus, local vendors will be serving food. When the darkness engulfs us, the films start rolling and you get to cozy up on your blanket or chairs and enjoy the show.

We’ll eat and drink until it gets dark—which is when the films will start rolling-and we’ll cozy up on our blankets and chairs and enjoy the show.

Thanks to New Belgium Brewing for their continued support of Appalachian Mountain Bike Club!

Recreation will be limited to the paved greenway only: September 22-23, November 3-18, and December 22-23.

Partnerships, coordination, and sharing our resources have brought us where we are today, so please take a moment when planning your adventures to keep yourself informed on hunting season dates in the FOR Wildlife Management Area!

We will update the club via club list serve, social media, and onsite signs.

Knoxville News Sentinel: “Traversing Urban Wilderness…”

8/8/12: The Knoxville News Sentinel talked to AMBC members Brian Hann and Matthew Kellogg about the continuing development of trails in South Knoxville.

Starting Tuesday, the South Knoxville loop will bring the city’s urban wilderness trail up to 35 miles and link parks and natural areas with paths built with local sweat. A hiker or cyclist now will be able to travel from Ijams Nature Center to William Hastie Natural Area, over to Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area, and back to Ijams.
