The 14th Annual Roasters Guild Retreat will take place on August 7-10, 2014 at the Skamania Lodge, in Stevenson, Washington.
Ever since the first annual Roasters Guild Retreat was held a decade ago, the annual Retreat has been a source of coffee roaster kinship and shared efforts towards a deeper appreciation and understanding of the craft of roasting. Roasters from around the world gather annually to renew friendships, discuss pressing industry issues and work together to find solutions.
Education and open discussion of issues has always been at the core of Retreat, but RG members have also found great value in networking and the camaraderie with fellow roasters over an open bonfire with a cold drink in hand.
This is the reason the annual retreat has become such a coveted event in the coffee roasting industry: It is the perfect environment for cultivating both professional excellence and affinity between attendees.
The Roasters Guild is an official trade guild of the Specialty Coffee Association of America that consists of specialty roasters dedicated to the craft of roasting quality coffee and promotes quality as the principle standard for success.
Founded in 2000, the RG has steadily grown ever since and welcomes new members each year.
To be a member of the Guild, roasting must be an integral part of one’s profession.
The Guild furthers roasters’ knowledge of and skills in the history, fundamentals, art and science of coffee roasting and through an international community and year-round events.
The Roasters Guild is the focused voice in the industry representing the interests of Roasters.
