This past Saturday, Reformation Canton turned into a glowing dance floor for our Silent Disco. With three DJs, neon lights, and 200 headsets in motion, the night was all energy, all vibes, and no noise complaints. Relive the highlights and see how we lit up the taproom with music and movement.
This past Saturday, Reformation Canton transformed into a tropical paradise for our “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere” Luau! With steel drum rhythms, frozen piña coladas, conga lines, and an unforgettable Polynesian fire show, the vibes were high and the flip flops were many. From limbo champs to bubble trails, it was pure island magic in the heart of downtown Canton.
Mahalo to everyone who came out! Until next time — stay cool, stay colorful, and stay Reformed.
Every fall, the leaves turn, the air chills, and something rich, malty, and time-honored flows back into our mugs: the Märzen-style Oktoberfest beer. At Reformation, our Revival Oktoberfest 2025 is brewed with Bavarian yeast and Coffee Malt — a throwback to centuries-old celebration with a Georgia twist. But what exactly makes an Oktoberfest beer? Why the steins? And what’s the deal with Coffee Malt?
Let’s tap into the answers.
What’s the difference between Märzen and Festbier?
While both are classic German fall beers, they’ve evolved:
Märzen:
-Originated in Bavaria, brewed in March (“März”) and stored cool until fall.
-Deep amber, medium-bodied, bready and toasty flavor.
-Revival Oktoberfest is this style — rooted in tradition.
Festbier:
-Modern style served at Oktoberfest in Munich.
-Lighter in color, body, and alcohol.
-More crisp and drinkable in large quantities.
TL;DR: Märzen is old-school and richer; Festbier is lighter and newer.
Why is it called “Oktoberfest” if we drink it in September?
Because the original Oktoberfest started in September! The first Oktoberfest was a royal wedding celebration in 1810. It lasted 16 days and ended in early October, giving the festival its name. Ever since, celebrations — and beers — start mid-September and end the first weekend of October.
So yes, it’s perfectly on time to crack one open in August.
What does Coffee Malt add to the beer?
Don’t let the name fool you — Coffee Malt doesn’t add actual coffee.
It brings:
-Aromas of roasted nuts, toast, and subtle chocolate.
-Color: A beautiful amber-bronze hue.
-Balance: Adds richness without the bitterness of roasted barley.
In Revival Oktoberfest, it complements the smooth malt profile and makes this Märzen just a little deeper and toastier.
Why do people drink Oktoberfest beers from steins?
Because it’s all about the experience:
-Ceremony: Steins are part of German beer tradition — big, bold, and festive.
-Cheers factor: They clink like nothing else. (“Prost!” never sounded better.)
-Insulation: Thick steins help keep beer cool.
-Volume: You’re meant to sip and celebrate — not shoot and scoot.
Want to lean into the ritual? Steins will be available at the end of September!
What food pairs best with Märzen-style Oktoberfest beer?
Oktoberfest beers love savory, hearty food:
-Soft pretzels & mustard
-Brats or sausages
-Roast chicken or pork
-Cheddar, gouda, or gruyere cheeses
-Caramel apple desserts
The beer’s malt-forward body holds up to rich, salty, and slightly sweet flavors.
Is Revival Oktoberfest available everywhere?
Yep. From August through October, you can find Revival Oktoberfest 2025 wherever Reformation beer is sold. Whether you’re firing up the grill, tailgating, or just looking for that first taste of fall — it’s here.
Fall’s first sip has arrived. Grab your stein, find a friend, and raise a glass of Revival Oktoberfest 2025. Available now, only for a limited time — don’t wait until it’s just a ghost of autumn past.
🍻 Prost.
We’re proud to introduce a new way to raise a glass at Reformation — now pouring a curated selection of wines from Grapes & Ladders Winery, a small-batch, family-owned winery nestled in the heart of North Georgia.
This local gem has been recognized as one of the Top 25 Wineries in the North Georgia Mountains, known for producing wine with no added flavors, colors, or sulfites — just clean, natural craftsmanship in every bottle.

Coosa Rosé (Gold Medal Winner) – Off-dry with soft sweetness and flavors of strawberry and raspberry
Some Like It Red – A bold, dry red blend aged in oak for two years, with notes of black cherry and vanilla
Sauvignon Blanc – Crisp, fruity, and full-bodied, also available in two fresh new forms: → Mimosa (with orange juice) → Poinsettia (with cranberry juice)

Our Base Camp series returns with a fresh adventure—this time, we’re heading to Allatoona Pass, a historic trail with roots that run deep into Georgia’s Civil War history. And just like the land that inspired it, this hazy IPA is bold, layered, and full of story.
Base Camp: Allatoona Pass is a 6.0% ABV Hazy IPA bursting with character—featuring massive drops of Citra and Amarillo hops. Expect aromas of grapefruit, lime, ripe stonefruit, and a whisper of lemon rind. It’s citrus-forward and refreshing, with just the right amount of haze to keep you grounded.
We crafted this small batch beer in support of our friends at Visit Woodstock GA, and like every trail worth trekking, it’s only here for a limited time. Find it in draft and 6pks starting July 25th at all Reformation taprooms.
But this beer is more than a flavor journey—it’s a nod to the real Allatoona Pass, a historic Civil War site just north of Atlanta. The trail once witnessed Andrews’ Raid, a daring train heist aboard “The General,” and later became the battleground of one of the fiercest fights after the fall of Atlanta. Today, you can still walk that same ground, with earthworks and trenches still visible along the way.
Whether you’re a beer lover, a history buff, or just someone who loves discovering new paths, Base Camp: Allatoona Pass is your sign to explore.

If you’ve ever taken a sip of beer and noticed notes of citrus, pine, or even dank herbal vibes, you’re probably tasting terpenes—the naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in plants like hops, citrus fruits, and even cannabis. These tiny but mighty compounds are becoming increasingly popular in the craft beer scene, and our newest release, Blackberry Kush Milkshake IPA, is a perfect example of how terpenes can transform the flavor experience.
Let’s break down what terpenes are, why they’re used in beer, and what to expect when you crack open a can of Blackberry Kush.
What are terpenes, and where do they come from? Terpenes are organic compounds found in the essential oils of plants. They’re responsible for the distinctive scents of pine trees, citrus peels, lavender, and yes—certain strains of cannabis. Terpenes are not exclusive to cannabis; hops, a key ingredient in beer, are also rich in them. Common beer-relevant terpenes include myrcene (herbal/mango), limonene (citrus), and pinene (piney/fresh).
Are terpenes from cannabis? And do they make you feel high? Great question! While the terpenes in Blackberry Kush come from Abstrax BrewGas, known for cannabis-inspired terpene blends, terpenes themselves are non-psychoactive. That means they don’t get you high. They’re purely used for flavor and aroma enhancement. So while the name “Blackberry Kush” might sound like it came straight from a dispensary, what you’re really getting is a juicy, fruit-forward IPA with a complex and modern twist—not a trip.
Why are terpenes added to beer? Brewers use terpenes to enhance and complement a beer’s flavor and aroma. While hops naturally contain terpenes, adding specific ones—like in our Blackberry Kush IPA—amplifies certain notes that might otherwise get lost in the brewing process. Think of it like turning up the volume on the most flavorful parts of your beer. It’s a modern technique that brings more depth, complexity, and intentionality to the final product.
How do terpenes interact with hops? Hops and terpenes are a natural match. Both contribute to aroma and flavor, and when used strategically, they can create a symphony of sensory effects. In Blackberry Kush, Columbus and Mosaic hops bring citrus and tropical notes that pair beautifully with the blackberry and terpene blend. The result? A layered beer experience where every sniff and sip reveals something new.
How It All Comes Together: Blackberry Kush Milkshake IPA Our latest limited release, Blackberry Kush, is a 6.5% Milkshake IPA made with real blackberry, milk sugar, oats, Mosaic and Columbus hops, and a custom blend of terpenes from Abstrax’s Blackberry Kush Brew Gas. It’s creamy, dreamy, and packed with juicy flavor and aromatic intrigue.
Expect blackberry candy on the nose, a subtle dankness on the finish, and a sipping experience that’s as unique as it is easy to love.
Final Thoughts: Terpenes are the future of flavor in craft beer—and Blackberry Kush is our love letter to their potential. Whether you’re a hop head, a terp-curious drinker, or someone who just loves a bold, fruity brew, this one’s for you.
