Barista Magazine’s Weekly Blog-in-Review Post
Hello and welcome to another installment of BMag Back Atcha our weekly roundup post where you can find links to everything we posted this week on the blog. Barista Nation Denver is only a couple of weeks away, and we’ve started our coverage in earnest this week.

Besides Barista Nation, one of the coffee events we love to support (and we do love to support a lot of them!) is Caffeine Crawl. Caffeine Crawl visits various cities around the States (and occasionally ventures in Canada), sets up visits to various cool cafés in the city and usually throws in other interesting stops. On Tuesday we had a report of the latest Crawl this one through the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

That brought us to Wednesday where we like to celebrate the midweek by holding a little trivia contest where one of our lucky readers wins some sweet prizes.

One of the twists at Barista Nation will be a unique throw down.

It’s going to be really interesting to hear what people come up with!
