Why Vikings?
Golden Bean has never been just about the coffee.
Our Australian founders, Sean and Kristine Edwards, have always believed that if you’re going to bring the coffee community together, you should have a little fun while you’re at it, let's be honest.... a lot of fun! — and the Golden Bean awards dinner has always come with a fancy-dress twist.
This year, we’re going Viking.
So when you pack your competition coffees for Denver, don’t forget your award-night attire.
Think rustic faux furs, braids, shields, leather, and a few dramatic horns — because if your name gets called, we want you ready to stride up and accept that medal in full Viking glory.
Coffee competition by day.
Viking celebration by night.
And yes — we fully expect some legendary outfits.
