Mark your calendars for the 4th annual KY/TN Latte Art Throwdown at Spencer’s:

Coffees from the best roasters in Kentucky & Tennessee. Lattes from some of the best baristas in a 200-mile radius. Door prizes, refreshments and more — admission is free, and proceeds benefit the Center for Courageous Kids!

Baristas from Louisville, Nashville, Bowling Green and beyond will compete in a Latte Art Throwdown — and their beautiful lattes will be auctioned off throughout the evening. Major prizes await the winners! Meanwhile, a bevy of roasters from both ends of I-65 will be handbrewing their very best beans, as well as some mind-bending shots of espresso on the La Marzocco GS3. A raffle will offer prizes from tons of local businesses as well as most of the cafes and roasteries represented, and we‘ll even have craft beer on draft to liven things up.

The event has been a success for each of the past three years, and this year’s will be bigger and better than ever. All proceeds benefit the Center for Courageous Kids, a year-round, donor-funded camp that works with special needs kids and their families.

The event is presented by La Marzocco & Pantechnicon Design, along with throwdown prize sponsors Baratza, St. Anthony Industries, Prima Coffee, Acaia, Brew Global, Mistobox, Barista Magazine, Ancap USA, Caffewerks, Able Brewing, Sunergos Coffee and Sprudge.com. More details in the days to come!

Bring cups/pitchers if desired. Top three places win fabulous prizes; all competitors are eligible for “second chance” prizes. All proceeds go to CCK.
