Cobb Travel & Tourism Presents Nine Craft Beverage Makers with Bubbles & Brews Awards

Cobb County, Ga. – (May 27, 2025) – Cobb Travel & Tourism presents awards to nine Hop Spots that participated in the sixth annual Bubbles & Brews, a month-long celebration of Cobb County’s local craft beverage makers.

Each March, craft beverage enthusiasts travel to participating breweries, distilleries, and wineries to taste unique beverages offered at each location. Participants use a physical or digital “BrewPass” passport to guide them to each Hop Spot to collect stamps and return the BrewPass to Cobb Travel & Tourism to earn prizes. In 2025, Cobb Travel & Tourism distributed 2,000 physical BrewPasses, and more than 700 participants signed up for a digital BrewPass. The 15 participating Hop Spots experienced a notable increase in visitation, collectively receiving more than 5,000 Bubbles & Brews check-ins throughout the month.

“Cobb is home to a diverse array of craft beverage makers, each offering its own unique experience and story,” said Holly Quinlan, president & CEO of Cobb Travel & Tourism. “The local craft beverage scene serves as a year-round attraction for residents and visitors. We appreciate these business owners for choosing Cobb County, and we’re excited about the upcoming additions to this industry this year that will continue to prove why Cobb is Atlanta’s sweet spot.”
