SCRBC - South Central Regional Barista Competition

Man that is a mouth full! Last year our regional was held during the Texas Restaurant Association's (TRA) big show. However this year we couldn't tag along with this event. So we are looking at a stand alone SCRBC. Right now we are looking for a space in Austin to host the event. Hopefully by the end of next week we will have this locked in. That is the goal. There are a lot of people working on this to get it going.

Mike from Cuvee, did a fantastic job last year for our first ever competition. Douglas from Waterfall Gourmet Beverages, Mike and Dan from Cuvee, and Aaron for AHH coffee in Dallas are a few of the people working to make this happen. We need sponsorship, media coverage and a space for the event. So if you want to be apart of this years event please email Michael.

For all competitors. There will be more info in the coming weeks. I haven't checked the official SCRBC sight yet but I am sure that will be updated to. I think Cuvee will do some training session for anybody who is interested and I think we will do some mini-jams for any competitor who wants to come by and get some time on a machine. Just give Patrick an email.

We are excited about this years competition. We need to get the word out and the buzz started. Hopefully we will have the location by next week and we can start on the rest.
