Clips of Faith Beer and Film Festival – June 29th, 2012,

Boulder Central Park- Volunteer jobs

Many positions require TIPS training. This is a short on-line course you will need to take to be legal.
The online TIPS course can be found at http://www.gettips.com/eTIPS.shtml. Click on the big red take online course button. When asked: In what environment will you be using this training? Please check: stadium, festival, arena, or civic center. Fill out all information. The computer will tell you that you need to pay $40 until you get to the payment page. When prompted please enter the promotional code "NEWBELGIUM2010" and it is case sensitive. The code will gives us $5 off the cost of the course. The course should take 2-3 hours, but you are able to sign in and out so you can do it at your leisure. This will be an out of pocket expense that we will reimburse at event.
All volunteers who will be in a T.I.P.S trained role will be required to attend a “meeting” the night before the event. This will take place at the Community Cycles shop. Beer and food will be provided.

Help set up for events at Central Park downtown Boulder. Volunteer Sign Up

Beer Servers: (4 TIPS trained/ 16 non-TIPS) (6:30- 11 pm)
This is where it gets fast and furious. We need a strong volunteer base here in the form of pourers and servers, and folks that can keep a line moving! Volunteers will be responsible for learning to pour beer well to minimize waste and money. Not all servers need to be TIPS
trained. However, some will be and will need to check for wristbands, and scan the crowd for intoxicated guests. Volunteers will not be changing any kegs, but will be responsible for informing NBB staff when that needs to be done. Volunteer Sign Up

Beer Gypsies: (1 Lead/ 8 beer gypsies- all must be TIPS trained) (6:30- 11 pm)
The Beer gypsies will be given trays that have a shoulder strap (think 40’s cigar girls) around their shoulders and hold approximately a dozen 3 oz samples of beer. They will roam the event with a specific flavor of beer checking for wristbands and taking tokens. Due to the autonomy of this position, ALL beer gypsies will be TIPS trained. The position will be very busy for the first hour and a half, and again during the “beermission” when we stop the film and encourage people to continue sampling. Volunteer Sign Up

ID Check: Wristbands, Passports, & Beer Tokens ( 2 Leads TIPS trained/ 6 non-TIPS) (6:30- 11 pm)
These folks are responsible for making sure every single person served at the event is of legal drinking age. ID checkers approve the guest’s valid Identification card (Drivers license, State ID, Passport, Military ID, or Green Card), and assuming that ID is valid, current, and the holder is in fact 21 years of age, they give the guest a wristband to mark their ability to drink, and send them to the beer token booth. The volunteers selling tokens and handling main cash flow, as well as distributing passports and giving a quick explanation about the flow of the event. Volunteer Sign Up

Blend-o-Matic Mixologist (1 TIPS trained) (6:30- 11 pm)
The Blend-o-Matic is the Clips of Faith’s own “make your own beer” station. Guests will “pay” 1 token for a 3oz sample to choose how dark or light they want their beer as well as what flavors to include. There are two mixologists; one is the wizard behind the “curtain” that pours the beers and adds the requested flavors and the other helps out in front of the curtain. There might just be costumes that go with this position (wink). Volunteer Sign Up

LOF Competition Official (1 TIPS trained) (6:30- 11 pm)
It’s at this area of the Lips of Faith Lounge that guests can earn a chance to a trip to New Belgium Brewing and craft their own beer with one of the brewers. Lips of Faith beers were born from a New Belgium coworker contest. It starts with the brewer mixing 3 different New Belgium beers, and ends when someone can guess which 3 beers were mixed and what percentage of each beer is in the concoction. Guests will do just that at this tent. The Competition Official is there to pour samples (for a token, of course) of the pre-made “mystery beer,” and show folks where to drop their ballot. Volunteer Sign Up

Hot Commodities – “HC” (3 non-TIPS) (6:30- 11 pm)
There is another place at the Clips of Faith Beer and Film Tour where we hope to be very busy. We call this area “Hot Commodities.” In this area we will be selling blankets and Clips of Faith T-Shirts. These volunteers are in charge of setting up the “display” and keeping track of inventory and sales. Volunteer Sign Up
