Lisa Lawson, organiser of the Glasgow Coffee Festival, which takes place for the eighth time next month
The eighth edition of the Glasgow Coffee Festival is set to give brew lovers more than just a caffeine boost with talks, demonstrations, panel discussions and latte art sessions lined up, and roasters keen to shout about why they love what they do.Lawson, organiser of the festival, said the UK’s exit from the EU and the coronavirus crisis brought about huge tests for Dear Green and the festival itself, but she’s looking forward to a chance to try and start afresh.
Gillian McIntyre has equally been no stranger to being up against it in recent years after founding Something Brewed – a speciality coffee bar for weddings and special events – and coffee shop Mayze, which until a few weeks ago had two bases in Glasgow.
