What a spectacular weekend! This past Saturday, April 25th, the community gathered at Reformation Woodstock for Elm Fest. From the shade of the branches to the vibrant energy of the crowd, it was the perfect “backyard-style” gathering that makes our downtown space feel like home.
The day kicked off with a ribbon cutting and an insightful speech by our sponsors, Top Tier Trees, followed by an afternoon filled with creativity and community. Whether you were potting a new plant, visiting The Bloom Exchange vendors, watching Chase King bring a canvas to life, or enjoying the live sounds of The TICS, the vibes were unmatched.
Relive the Memories
We were lucky enough to have three incredible creators capturing the magic of the day. You can explore the full galleries and watch the event recap below:

A massive thank you to our sponsors, vendors, and most importantly, you, for making Elm Fest such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
We had a total blast hosting our Crawfish Boil at Reformation Woodstock this past weekend. Huge thanks to everyone who came out to peel, eat, and drink with us!
Cody Bolden absolutely crushed his performance, setting the perfect mood for a backyard-style boil. We couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack for the afternoon.
Special shoutout to our photographer, Abigail Peyton, for these incredible shots. You can almost smell the Cajun spice through the screen.

The Official Festival of Georgia Craft Beer brought Woodstock together for one very good reason: great beer and a great time. With breweries from across the state, endless incredible pours, live music, local food, makers, and a whole lot of community, this year’s festival was one for the books.
We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate Georgia craft beer with us and help make the day what it was. Huge thanks to all of the breweries, vendors, musicians, makers, and guests who showed up and brought the energy all afternoon long.
A special thank you to Dylan Winchester @d_w_visuals for capturing the day so perfectly on video. We’re also excited to share photos from the festival by Abigail Peyton, along with afterparty photos from Lindsay Ann Photography @photosbylindsayann.
From the first pour to the last song – and all the fun that carried on into the afterparty – we loved getting to be part of it. Take a look back at the highlights and relive an unforgettable weekend in Woodstock.
Our Woodstock location was packed this past Saturday with festive pets, proud pet parents, and a whole lot of holiday energy. From dogs (so many dogs) to a surprise cat – even a chicken – this event truly had it all. Big smiles, wagging tails, and plenty of unforgettable moments were captured by our photographer, and the full photo album is here to prove it. Thanks to everyone who came out and made this one of our most memorable events yet!
Every year, Reformation’s the Wenceslas Project reminds us what the heart of Christmas is really about: GIVING. This season, that giving has a name and a story close to home.
Now through December 23, when you order a pint of our Light Mexican Lager at any Reformation venue, $1 per pour will go directly to support Kyndal, the daughter of our friend and long-time regular, Bryan Zapp. Also, welcome to donate online via Venmo, @reformationbrewery.
Bryan was one of those people who made every room a little better; a Woodstock and Cherokee County local, a public safety officer, a veteran who served our country with pride for 20 years, and best of all, a devoted dad. He passed away this Thanksgiving after a short, fierce fight with brain cancer at just 48.
If you ever shared a beer or a story with Bryan, you know how much he loved his people — with a big smile, a bigger heart, and genuine kindness that left a mark.
So this December, we raise a glass in his honor and invite you to do the same. Let’s rally around his daughter, Kyndal, and show what it means to be a community that gives back.
Drink good beer. Do good together.
– $1 from every Light Mexican Lager pint donated
– Now–Dec 23
– Thank you for loving this community so well.
Obituary:
Bryan William Zapp passed on November 27, 2025. Bryan was born January 25, 1977 in Sacramento, California. Bryan proudly served his country in the United States Army and National Guard for 20 years. He went on to build a long and distinguished career in law enforcement (including Woodstock Police) as both an officer and detective, earning deep respect and admiration for his timeless dedication and integrity.
Bryan was known for his extraordinary, outgoing personality. Friends often said it stemmed from the way he cared for others with genuine kindness, love and respect. He lived life to the fullest, embracing adventure, the outdoors, and his passion for riding his motorcycle and taking Jeep outings with his daughter, Kyndal, and close friends.
Above all, Bryan was a proud, devoted, and loving father to daughter, Kyndal Zapp. He was also a deeply devoted son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and a loyal friend who knew him.
Bryan is survived by his daughter Kyndal Zapp, his mother Sharon Scribner Cameron, his father John Zapp, brother Andrew Zapp and his wife Alejandra Roman Zapp, sister Stacey Cameron, and nephew Ty Zapp.
Bryan will forever remain in our hearts and our minds as we remember and miss this remarkable man.
Woodstock, you sure know how to party. Our taproom was packed this past weekend for an unforgettable adults-only Halloween celebration filled with spooky shots, creepy frozen drinks, and a whole lot of fun.

Paid Parking Has Arrived in Downtown Woodstock: Here’s How It Works
If you’re planning a visit to Reformation Brewery Woodstock, heads up! As of Monday, July 7th, the City of Woodstock has officially implemented a new paid parking system in key parts of downtown—including areas near our taproom.
We’ve put together a quick guide to help you park stress-free and focus on what matters: good beer, good vibes, and good company.
🅿️ Where is Paid Parking Happening?
The paid parking zones are clearly marked and are mostly centered around the busiest parts of downtown, including areas along Main Street and close to the amphitheater. You’ll see signs and green zones on the official map. There are also plenty of free parking areas, mostly on the west side of Main Street (look for the blue zones on the map).
We’re still pouring your favorites at Reformation Woodstock, and we want to make sure your visit is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. A little heads up on parking goes a long way—so park smart, grab a pint, and we’ll see you soon!
🍻 Cheers, Your Reformation Woodstock Crew
This past Saturday, we kicked off Cinco De Mayo weekend early with our Tres De Mayo Pub Crawl – and it did not disappoint!
