Here they are, your brand new class of Brewers Cup finalists! These six baristas represent the very best in hand-poured coffee in the Northeastern United States. They’ve already competed once to get here; tomorrow they’ll battle again, fighting the chance to be called Brewers Cup Champion for their region, and move on to compete at the United States Brewers Cup Championship next April in Seattle.
Without any further ado, here they are – your Brewers Cup finalists for the Northeast region.
