UBF IV

By James Hoffmann | Published: October 31, 2009

Much fun was had at the UBF last night. I was pulling shots all night, but had my camera with me so shot a bit of video as we went along which I’ve cut into a fun little thing:

The challenge was head to head pour again, in UBF Branded1 2oz espresso cups, with 16 entrants battling down to one winner (congrats Brett!). There will be a post on the UBF blog very soon, detailing the results from the night as well as photos too I hope.

Footnotes:
  1. I should add a massive thanks to Gwilym here.  ACF offered him some custom cups as a prize for winning the WBC, so he sent them the UBF logo so now we have UBF espresso and capp cups.  The man is awesome!! [↩]

    Looks like everybody had a lot of fun, like the 80’s futuristic font used on the cups as well.
    Ratatat use the same font for their group emblem, suits their musical vibe. http://www.ratatatmusic.com/

    GREAT music! I tip my cap to the luchadore! He (or she) definitely gets my vote regardless of pour quality. Thanks, James.
