After placing 4th at Preliminaries in Atlanta in October, and then an incredible 6th place at Qualifiers in Nashville in January, our amazing veteran barista and Taproom store manager Alyssa Bell is set to compete at the 2020 USCC Brewers Cup Championship, to be held in Orange County, CA, February 21-23, 2020.
The competition will be live-streamed on the USCC Facebook Page, and Alyssa competes in the second slot of the first day of Brewers Cup competition.

This is Alyssa’s very first season competing, though she has served as a competition volunteer and judge in past seasons. She was accepted into this year’s Glitter Cat Barista Bootcamp, a barista training program focused on providing coaching to members of marginalized communities.
In the most recent issue of Barista Magazine, Alyssa was mentioned in an article about the Nashville Qualifiers, along with a photo of her presentation to the judges.
We’re so proud of you, Alyssa!
