There was a stellar Wednesday night edition of TNT at Stumptown Coffee Roasters at the Ace Hotel New Orleans on July 13. On the eve of Barista Nation New Orleans, we had a 32 person bracket split almost evenly between local baristas and those visiting New Orleans for Barista Nation. Congratulations to Andrew Gomez of Los Angeles on the victory, and props to Mason Remel of New Orleans for taking the runner-up spot. A huge thanks also goes to our generous sponsors, as well as to the Stumptown crew for hosting the event!

Photographer Ollie Alexander captured the magic and excitement of the event through a glowing series of photographs. Check out the full July TNT gallery here.
