Frog Rock Brewery, Austell’s first microbrewery, continues to celebrate its success in the community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 21, 2024, at 5 p.m. at 2764 Broad Street. This event follows a "first birthday party" attended by hundreds of beer enthusiasts and local customers on August 3. The ribbon cutting marks a full year of community engagement centered around their unique beverages.
“We feel extremely grateful for our community’s support in the first year and look forward to building on the successes of year one,” said Andrew Lundstrom, owner and co-founder of Frog Rock Brewery. “While long overdue, this ribbon cutting ceremony will help build on the brewing excitement of our presence downtown and in the South Cobb area. We can’t wait to see what year two has in store for us and our community.”
In its inaugural year, Frog Rock Brewery has made significant contributions to the local economy. These include participating in events such as the 2023 Austell Labor Day Festival and Cobb Travel & Tourism’s Bubbles and Brews campaign, as well as creating five new jobs for the downtown district. The brewery also earned a gold medal at the GA Craft Brewery Festival in May this year. Additionally, it has established vendor relationships with various Cobb County businesses, Sweetwater Creek State Park, and the Douglas County Museum of History and Art.
“Frog Rock Brewery has been an incredible asset to our downtown district,” said Councilmember Marlin Lamar. “Venues like this one have proven to revitalize surrounding areas across America; we’re thankful that the brewery decided to plant their roots in Austell.”
Despite challenges within the craft beer industry that have led other local breweries to close, Frog Rock Brewery remains committed to supporting state legislation that will help small craft breweries better serve their communities and stimulate further economic growth.
