SUMMARY:Saturday Night Smackdown
DESCRIPTION:Welcome back fellow coffee enthusiasts. It's been a fun hi
 atus, but it's time to return to the nitty gritty of monthly Smackdown
 s. And we've got some fun things in store for you.\n\nFirst, the forma
 t of the Smackdown will be undergoing a bit of a change. Instead of th
 e one pour-three judges, winner is picked format SNS will now be done 
 in a more fast paced and thrilling head to head style pour offs. Enter
  the Single Elimination Bracket System, a tournament style latte art t
 hrowdown wherein two baristas pour head to head and one winner is chos
 en to move to the next bracket unitl we reach the last top two barista
 s to see who walks away with the top honors.\n\nSecondly, the dates of
  the Smackdown will now be the FIRST Saturday of the month instead of 
 the last of the month. This is for purely selfish reasons. At Medici, 
 we will be doing a fun event called Medici Notte on the last weekend o
 f every month. So moving the SNS to the first weekend allows me to hav
 e my cake and eat it too. And then tell everyone how delicious my cake
  was. Also, the Smackdown will run into less holiday time at the begin
 ning rather than the end of the month.\n\nNow for the meat of the post
  . . .\n\nThe next SNS is scheduled for February 6th at Frank in downt
 own Austin. Tyler Wells, the head barista and 3rd place SCRBC finalist
 , is pretty stoked to have the event coming to his neck of the woods. 
 The first bit of the SNS will focus on Manual Brewing Techniques, spec
 ifically, controlling the amount and rate of extraction through dose, 
 temperature, and contact time. We'll have Chemexes, Hario pour overs, 
 and the ever impressive 5 cup Yama Syphon.\n\nThe latte art portion wi
 ll be design of your choice, poured into one of these bad boys. Aw yea
 h!\n\nA little lecture, a little hands on brewing, and some sweet latt
 e art in Austin's only hot dog/bar/coffee shop. It's gonna be rad.\n\n
 Rock.\n\nFor more information visit https://www.baristaexchange.com/ev
