If your answer was yes to any of the above, come out for a fun filled afternoon of spectating and celebration while the best of the very best coffee nerds who are passionate about AeroPressing, compete for a National spot to be sent to the 2015 World AeroPress Championships in Seattle this April for a chance to be deemed the very best, at yes, AeroPressing. This is a celebration of what it means to be passionate, to care about a service and its details, and above all, the love of craftsmanship.

But more importantly, it’s going to be one hell of a party!!! We’ve got beer from Brassneck Brewery, and burgers from The Local Omnivore Food Truck, so bring some cash money! Jams for the evening provided by DJ Air-O and Christa Belle. We’ve also announced our Judges over on the World Aeropress website, go check it out.

Competitors will consist of some of your favourite local baristas, and some potentially non-industry coffee lovers who think they’ve got what it takes! We shall be posting said competitors closer to the date, so like our page to stay in the know!

The action starts at 4:00pm and should continue until 8:00pm. Brassneck Brewery will be on hand with beers, and The Local Omnivore will be parked out front and selling burgers.
