This is your complete field for the 2013 US Brewers Cup competition at SCAA Boston. There are 36 competitors total, including all 6 of the regional Brewers Cup winners (designated in brackets below). During Round One, all 36 competitors will compete using a compulsory, or “mystery” coffee. They’ll be allowed to use their own favorite coffees should they advance to Finals.
By request of the SCAA, this schedule does not depict the compulsory round in its correct sequential order. This is because blind judging is an important part of how the Brewers Cup event is evaluated in Round One. Brewers Cup competitors, please refer to your own schedules for correct times and competition orders. Finals will be held on Saturday, April 13th from noon to 3pm, streaming live on Live Stream.
