Huge news from this year’s Craft Brewers Conference – Reformation Brewery is officially the 2026 Skunkworks Lounge Champion! We took home the crown in an industry-judged showdown hosted by Abstrax Hops. This isn’t just any trophy; the Skunkworks Lounge is a space where brewers from across the country push the boundaries of flavor and aroma through scientific innovation. After making it through a blind-judging round earlier in the season, we poured live on the CBC show floor, and the industry votes are in: Tangerine Steam is the winner.
The Winning Brew: Tangerine Steam
Tangerine Steam is a fruited sour built around Abstrax’s Sour Tangie BrewGas. This unique ingredient provides a citrus-powered profile with earthy undertones drawn from the Sour Tangie cannabis cultivar.
For those wondering – yes, it’s TTB-approved! It uses terpenes with no THC or CBD whatsoever. The result is “the flavor and aroma of cannabis without the cannabis,” creating a beer that is bright, tart, deeply aromatic, and has what we like to call a “signature edge.” It started as a draft experiment, and now it’s a national champion.
Coming Soon to Cans
You spoke, and we listened. The response to Tangerine Steam has been too loud to leave it as a one-time taproom draft. We are officially heading into a can release! We are currently working out the final details, so stay tuned for updates on when and where you’ll be able to take this award-winning sour home with you.
In the meantime, come find us at the taproom and celebrate with us. We’re still a little stunned – in the best possible way. Big love to Abstrax Hops for the collaboration and cheers to the team for bringing the heat! 🍻🎉
We’re proud to share that Revival Oktoberfest earned Gold at the 2026 Best of Craft Beer Awards – a huge honor in one of the most competitive categories in craft beer.
Out of 1,498 entries, only 153 beers medaled, and Revival Oktoberfest rose to the top as a standout among them. For a lager to earn that kind of recognition means every detail matters – from recipe execution and consistency to fermentation, patience, packaging, and precision at every step along the way.
This award is a reflection of the care, discipline, and technical skill our production team brings to every batch. Lagers leave no room to hide, and that’s exactly why this recognition means so much. It speaks to the strength of our brewing, cellar, and packaging teams and the high standards they show up with every day.
Revival Oktoberfest has become a returning favorite for a reason, and we couldn’t be more excited to see it recognized on this level. We’re incredibly proud of our team and grateful to everyone who helps bring this beer to life.
We’re proud to share that our Reformation Coffee Liqueur – made with coffee from Alma Coffee in Canton, GA – earned Bronze at the 2026 U.S. Open Whiskey and Spirits Championships. We’re honored to be recognized and grateful to celebrate this award with our team, our partners, and our community.
Big cheers to our brew crew! Love Made Visible brought home 1st place for Adjunct Stout at Strong Beer Fest – a proud moment for a beer built on patience, intention, and serious craft.
This stout starts with a long 3-hour boil to deepen malt richness and caramelized complexity. From there, our team layered Ghana cacao nibs, wild Thai banana, toasted and untoasted coconut, macadamia nuts, and Ugandan vanilla beans – creating a balanced, dessert-like stout that still honors bold roast and classic structure.
Heading into 2025, we made a strategic commitment to invest even more into quality and innovation across our portfolio. We didn’t expect such quick validation, but we’ll happily take it. This medal is a highlight in a year defined by hard work, creativity, and brewing with intention.
Most of all, we’re proud of the crew who shows up every day to elevate what we do – and grateful to our community for supporting the journey.
Here’s to the win, the work, and everything still to come. Cheers! 🍻
Big news worth raising a pint to! Reformation Brewery has been voted a Best of Georgia Regional winner for 2025. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of our fans and community. Check out the full list of this year’s honorees here:
We’re proud to announce that Reformation Brewery has been voted Best Brewery in My West Cobb Magazine’sBest of 2025 readers’ choice awards! Hosted by Atlanta Best Media, this annual contest celebrates local favorites across the community — and we’re honored to have your support.

“Really proud of the Reformation brew crew and their work on our top-selling beer, A Cold One. Taking home any medal in any category when there are over 8k entries and only 349 awarded in the U.S. Open (a major championship) is simply hard.
Taking home a silver in the German Pils category, beer that tastes like beer, and a category where you can’t hide flaws in the craft, is outstanding.
But the icing on the cake is when your business invests deeper into quality and makes it a key performance indicator for the year, and you receive this kind of third-party recognition so soon, it is just exceptionally satisfying.
If you’re a drinker of the megacorporate beers but would like to support local independent makers, I implore you to give this one a shot; we think it’s about as near damn perfect as there is in the land.
Our Belgian-style beauty, Deja Vu, just earned Silver in the Belgian category at the 2025 Georgia Craft Brewers Festival—and it’s on draft now at Reformation Woodstock!
Expect spicy, floral hop notes with a light, honeyed biscuit malt character. Grainy but soft on the palate, this one finishes crisp, dry, and bitter in all the right ways.
Come raise a glass of this award-winning brew while it lasts. 🍻
