Cobb County, Ga. – (April 29, 2022) – Cobb Travel & Tourism presented nine craft beverage makers with awards for participating in Bubbles & Brews. Bubbles & Brews is a month-long celebration of Cobb County’s local craft beverage makers and highlights the thriving beverage community in Cobb. This is the third year that Cobb Travel & Tourism has hosted the event.

Each March, craft beverage enthusiasts can travel to all of Cobb’s breweries, distilleries, meaderies, and wineries to sample each location’s unique beverages. Participants use a physical or digital ‘BrewPass’ passport to guide them to each location to collect stamps and return the BrewPass to Cobb Travel & Tourism to earn prizes. In 2022, Bubbles & Brews made nearly 159,000 impressions online, and Cobb Travel & Tourism distributed 3,000 physical BrewPasses and more than 650 digital BrewPasses to interested participants.

“Cobb is currently home to 19 craft beverage locations, each with their own special story and unique offerings,” said Holly Quinlan, President & CEO of Cobb Travel & Tourism. “The craft beverage industry in our community continues to thrive, and serves as a year-round tourism attraction for both our residents and visitors. We are so proud that these business owners have chosen to call Cobb County home and add to the growing list of reasons why Cobb is Atlanta’s sweet spot.”
