    The FOAM Act with Frog Rock Brewery

    The FOAM Act with Frog Rock Brewery

    Despite solid bipartisan support from several established legislators, Senate Bill 163, nicknamed the F.O.A.M. Act (Fair and Open Access to Market), failed to advance out of the state Senate’s Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee before crossover day on Feb. 29. It’s likely dead for the 2024 legislative session. Here to explain the legislation and what it means to local beer brewers and enthusiasts is one of the founders of Frog Rock Brewery.

    Frog Rock Brewery is located in Downtown Austell, Georgia, brewed fresh with local Lithia Spring Mineral Water. Their unique line of Lithia Beer is packed with natural electrolytes and beneficial minerals.
