Cobb Travel & Tourism presents awards to ten Hop Spots that participated in the seventh 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 2026, Cobb Travel & Tourism distributed 2,000 physical BrewPasses, and more than 800 participants signed up for a digital BrewPass. The 16 participating Hop Spots experienced a notable increase in visitation, collectively receiving more than 5,700 Bubbles & Brews check-ins throughout the month.

“Cobb’s craft beverage community has become a major draw for both residents and visitors looking for authentic local experiences,” said Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel & Tourism. “We’re grateful for the businesses that continue to invest in Cobb County and contribute to the energy and character that define our destination.”

Participants of Bubbles & Brews were encouraged to vote online for their favorite Hop Spots in several categories. The winners for each category include:

• Best Bubbles & Brews Beverage: Viking Alchemist Meadery – Lonestar
• Best Flagship Beverage: Frog Rock Brewing Company – Austell La Vista
