Reformation Brewery Plans 5th Anniversary Celebration

WOODSTOCK, GA — Reformation Brewery, which quietly opened its new location earlier this month in downtown Woodstock, is hard at work making sure its 5th anniversary celebration goes off without any hiccups.

The brewery has quite the lineup of events celebrating its achievements, the first of which will be a grand opening event set for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at its downtown Woodstock location at 105 Elm Street. Reformation's new location is a research and development brewhouse, and includes two beer bars, large deck, and outdoor beer garden and now serves as Reformation's public taproom and event space.

Reformation's celebration continues with Cadence Fair set for noon Saturday, Oct. 13 at the downtown Woodstock facility. Cadence Fair, brought to you by Reformation, Revival South and BBQ and Brews, will bring live music, local artists, food trucks and Reformation's lineup of beers for residents to savor and explore. Music acts that will take the stage include Whiskey Dixie at noon, Battlefield Collective at 2 p.m., The Hearsay at 4:30 p.m. and Pony League at 6:30 p.m.

The celebration culminates with an anniversary party and the inaugural Reformation Brewery 5K at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3. Proceeds from the 5K will support Woodstock-based Greenprints Alliance, a nonprofit that works to expand and promote trail connectivity in the area. You can register for the 5K by clicking here. Following the 5K, you'll be invited to tour the streets of the downtown area and the Noonday Creek Trail, and celebrate with a beer garden finish featuring live music, two 12-ounce brews and hot food.

For those who haven't been to the new space, Reformation Brewery CEO Spencer Nix said the location is not only an opportunity to experiment with new recipes, but also a place to dig deeper into the why behind what they do.

“We’ve always believed that why you drink is as important as what you drink," he said. "For us, the community is behind what we do.”

Community focused events such as their popular analogue gaming night, yoga, book club, open mic, and improv will continue as part of their recurring programming. In addition, local Cherokee County restaurateur and owner of Canton-based Queenie’s Southern Restaurant, Zach Kell, is working with the landlord to open as a co-tenant in the adjacent space in the coming months. Brewery production and private events will continue at their existing space for the foreseeable future.

“Our brewers need the space to meet demand, and we’ve always had requests for private events like reunions, weddings, and corporate events," Nix continued. "Our original brewery at 500 Arnold Mill Way, renamed The Foundry, will be available to satisfy both.
