On March 3, 2016 the Barista Guild of America is launching a new event for the coffee community. Intended to create opportunities for deeper discussions about coffee, the inaugural event taking place in Los Angeles features thought-leaders, including Charles Babinski, current U.S. Barista Champion and co-founder of G&B Coffee and Go Get ‘Em Tiger; Katie Carguilo, 2011 U.S. Barista Champion and west coast quality control for Counter Culture Coffee; and Sarah Bennett, freelance food and beverage journalist.
A number of satellite events will be held around the United States, including Atlanta, Ga.; Austin, Texas; New York City; Providence, Rhode Island; and Washington D.C. Each talk from the main event will be recorded and broadcast at our event. In Providence, for example, Christopher H.
