WOODSTOCK, GA — Woodstock-based Reformation Brewery is set to release its self-titled Reformation IPA. The beer is a new year-round offering, and takes the place of their rotating seasonal, Nolan The Wanderer.

An unfiltered American style IPA, which boasts 6.5 percent, features Talus, Citra, and Mosaic for notes of grapefruit and pineapple, Reformation IPA is available for pre-order, and debuts in the brewery’s taprooms on Friday, Feb. 25.

“We fell in love with the Talus hop, which gives this beer an intense citrus aroma and ripe notes of grapefruit and pineapple," Business Operations Director Ryan Morley-Stockton said. "We also love the little bit of pine resin that balances out all those fruit forward notes. As we searched for this hop, we built a great relationship with the people at Hop Head Farms in Southwest Michigan who supply our contract of this unique and robust hop."

“Reformation has wandered through new styles of IPA's and different varieties of hops with our rotating IPA series, and learned so much from that journey," Morley-Stockton said. "We've also brewed countless IPA test batches at our facility in Woodstock in search of a liquid that is both balanced and timeless - yet uniquely Reformation. Reformation IPA is fueled by feedback from our community and is a beer they can truly call their own."

"Our heart and soul are in this self-titled IPA for new and old craft IPA drinkers. It’s our gift to IPA and beer drinkers from the lowlands to the highlands of Georgia. Unfiltered, balanced, reliable - Reformation IPA.”
