A&E Coffee September 12 TNT
We started with an in-house competition and had so much fun that we knew we wanted to invite other baristas to join us for a full-fledged TNT.
Amherst, NH (PRWEB) August 31, 2013
A&E Custom Coffee Roastery in Amherst, NH, will host the first Thursday Night Throwdown barista vs. barista latte art competition on September 12, from 8 to 10 p.m., at their Amherst café.
Thursday Night Throwdowns, or TNTs, are a grassroots coffee industry event series where baristas get together in the name of good spirits, camaraderie and the craft or excellent coffee. Sometimes hosted by a single café or roaster, sometimes hosted by a rotating schedule of participating venues, the TNTs build community, increase fellowship and are just plain fun.
“We started with an in-house competition and had so much fun that we knew we wanted to invite other baristas to join us for a full-fledged TNT,” said Emeran Langmaid, owner of A&E. “We’ve attended TNTs in Portland, Maine, and they are wonderful to get to know people in the industry in a fun and casual way.”
A&E’s TNT will begin with a lesson on steaming and pouring at 8. The barista latte art competition kicks off at 9 p.m. Anyone is welcome to participate.
A&E Coffee is located at 135 Route 101A in Amherst, NH. Doors open at 8 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge, all of which will be donated to Coffee Kids, which works with organizations in coffee-farming communities throughout Latin America to improve education, health care, economic diversification, food security and capacity building. These efforts allow coffee farmers to reduce their dependence on the volatile coffee market and confront their communities’ most pressing needs.
