Do you love sharing your town? ….. Would you like to know more about Roswell?

That’s exactly what Roswell Tourism Ambassadors do.  They’re business people, civic leaders, and residents who are excited about all of the great things that Roswell has to offer.  To become an official Roswell Tourism Ambassador they attend a 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. training session where they are given information about Roswell’s tourism program and how it impacts the economic vitality of our city.  Then, they board  a mini-bus to tour historic sites, enjoy our natural areas, learn more about the arts, Roswell’s vibrant culinary scene, the craft brewery industry and much more.

Graduates of the Program receive certification that they have completed the training and are presented a Roswell Tourism Ambassador lapel pin.  Three sessions have been held since March with a total of 43 trained Roswell Tourism Ambassadors. 

It’s exciting to have them “join the tourism team” by sharing their Roswell community knowledge with friends, family, customers and clients as they contribute to the enhancement of the experience of visitors to Roswell, entice visitors to come back to our area, and encourage friends and family to take advantage of all Roswell has to offer.

If you would like to become a Roswell Tourism Ambassador please contact Dotty Etris or Marsha Saum at 770-640-3253 to receive notification of the next training session. Additional information may be found at www.visitroswellga.com/ambassador-program

Craft Beer is All the Rage!

September 2017 was a date to celebrate for craft beer lovers.

On September 1, the state of Georgia began permitting local consumers the legal right to buy a beer to drink on site at local breweries and to purchase a case a day directly from the brewery.  Brewpubs are also allowed to sell beer to customers for take-home.

Roswell’s breweries made plans to begin implementation quickly to serve the needs of their customers and to raise awareness of the craft beer industry in the city.  Make your plans to visit one of them soon.

Gate City Brewing Company on Magnolia Street (near the intersection of Magnolia & Canton) was the first to open in Roswell and has developed a strong reputation and loyal patrons.  Next came Georgia’s first female brewery owner & brew master, Kathy Davis with Abbey of the Holy Goats Brewery (fascinating story about the name – be sure to ask her).  This brewery is located in Northfield, just off Old Roswell Road and has become a popular spot to gather for those who love craft beer.

Variant Brewing Company will open in this month on Norcross Street, a short distance from Canton Street. The building is beautiful and we are promised the beers will be exceptional. 

From the Earth Brewing Company (Brew Pub) has scheduled their opening for October 20.  Located at 1570 Holcomb Bridge Road, this will be Roswell’s first farm to table brewpub with locally sourced cuisine, great beer and craft cocktails.

The breweries have a calendar filled with fun happenings, so check them out. http://www.visitroswellga.com/what-to-do/
