Conary to judge barista contest

Scott Conary has been certified by the WBC. No, not the boxing group. The local coffee heavyweight is now World Barista Certified, one of only seven U.S. judges to achieve the certification, and the only one in North Carolina. The accolade allows him to be part of a 45-judge panel for the World Barista Championship April 16-19 in Atlanta. This is Conary’s fourth judging experience, including serving as head judge of the 2008 competition in Tokyo.
