DELAVAN, Wisconsin — CRG Retreat, a Coffee Roasters Guild event, is the annual gathering of roasters from around the world. This is a four-day educational event for roasters with a wide range of experience and skills. This year’s CRG Retreat is taking place August 25-28, 2022 in Delavan, Wisconsin.
It’s been three years since the roasting community have gathered in-person for Coffee Roasters Guild Retreat and its return is welcomed by the community. Retreat attendees can look forward to lectures, workshops, cuppings, the Roasting Tent, the Team Challenge, and more.
Brand new for this year, Retreat offers a U.S. Roasting Championship preparation workshop!
Baylee Engberg, Managing Director at #shestheroaster and Head Roaster & QC Analyst at Caffe Vita shares, “Coffee Roasters Guild Retreat is returning! Not only is Retreat my favorite coffee event, but arguably the most beneficial for roasters and tasters alike.
Whether you’re looking to learn to roast from scratch, form stronger community connections, taste the coffee lexicon, try your hand at a new machine, or simply just win the competition— this event is for you. Retreat is summer camp for coffee professionals.”
David Myers, Chair of the Coffee Roasters Guild, shares his excitement, “We’re back! It’s time once again to get ready for Coffee Roasters Guild Retreat. We have a great line-up of classes and lectures this year.
We’ll have our first ever Competition Roasting Prep class and some new content on espresso roasting and blending and the return of the Maillard Marshmallow Roasting Competition. We hope you can join us for a weekend of fun, education and camaraderie.”
Registration is now open with early bird pricing available through July 29, 2022. More information available at CRG Retreat.
