UPTOWN — Want to learn more about the ins and outs of specialty coffee?
Head to the auditorium connected to Everybody's Coffee, Wilson Abbey Theater, 935 W. Wilson Ave., June 25 for a screening of "A Film About Coffee," an aptly named documentary that tackles the subject.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m., but the movie will start at 7 p.m.
At the event, local roasters like Metropolis, Bow Truss and Passion House Coffee will serve coffee — both hot and cold. There will also be contests like a latte art showdown and event-goers can win prizes, according to a news release.
Directed by Brandon Loper, the film tells the story of how specialty coffee is made, beginning with a farm in Honduras and ending with a barista in a local shop.
It will not be shown anywhere else in Chicago, making the Uptown screening a one-night only premiere.
Local roasters like the ones in the documentary continue to open up shop across the city's neighborhoods. Bow Truss, for example, is opening its fourth location in Logan Square.
Tickets cost $15 in advance and $18 at the door; they can be bought either online or at the coffee shop at 935 W. Wilson Ave.
