The brewery had a “potions” menu, non-alcoholic butterbeer, a costume contest and photo opportunities.
In the Harry Potter books, Sept. 1 is the day students at the magic school Hogwarts travel to the campus for the year.

Transcript:
Hey, I’m John Miller, the general manager here at West Side Pizzeria and Bar. We’ve been around since, believe it or not, 2004. We’re now located at the West Side Village Shopping Center off Marietta Boulevard, and we’re approaching our 20th year serving craft beer.
We always want to support the local guys, and we probably have some of the best pizza you’ll find in Atlanta.
I’ve worked for the company for a long time, which has given me the opportunity to try a lot of different beers and meet a lot of great people.
One of those great beers is definitely Reformation’s Oktoberfest. This is my favorite time of the year for beers, especially craft beers, because breweries always put out their best versions of classic styles. Märzen styles are definitely my number one favorite, and Reformation puts out the best Oktoberfest every year. I feel privileged and lucky to try all different styles from various breweries—imports, crafts, local—and to have them at my bar and at home.
It’s perfect out of the can and perfect on tap. I love having it as an option and introducing it to others. I encourage you to try other Oktoberfests, but if you want a standout choice, Reformation’s Oktoberfest is the best option.
They make other great beers and have excellent locations, but this is the one I always go to. It has the perfect amount of maltiness and drinkability. People like to throw around the term “session beer,” and this is truly a perfect session Oktoberfest.
It’s a beer you can enjoy one after another, with a good, toasty, hoppy mouthfeel. It’s my favorite time of year.
“Building great memories and a sense of feeling more connected to each other are our top markers of success. Our biggest reward is being a small part of you living your best life, with Reformation in hand. Great service and quality beverages are an important piece of that success, but so is cultivating connected communities who love and support one another. It’s our greatest privilege to see you celebrate your moment at our venues and make memories together.”
VinePair asked 12 brewers about their go-to Summer beer, and Reformation’s A Cold One Pilsner is making our brewer’s list.
“Pilsners would probably be the thing I reach for the most this time of year. Reformation’s Cold One Pilsner is something I can always depend on.” – Kyle Thomas, Production Manager, Reformation Brewery
“For the third year in a row, Reformation Brewery, with locations in Woodstock, Canton and Smyrna, will brew a beer in support of Shepherd’s Men, a local veterans advocacy group.
This year’s beer, known as Shepherd’s Men Clarity lager, will also be available at more than 20 other metro area outlets.”
Shepherd’s Men is inviting the community to join its march from Canton to Woodstock May 27, Memorial Day, to honor those who have died serving their country.
The march, which will span 12 miles, will include carrying a 160-pound barrel to symbolize the weight of sacrifice to honor those who have lost their lives in service to the nation.
WOODSTOCK, Ga. – As the nation paused to remember those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice, one organization was also raising awareness about those who struggle once they come home.
Dozens of active and veteran military personnel and civilian volunteers marched 12 miles through challenging weather Monday.
“What we want to do is make sure they understand you’re not alone, if you’re struggling, there’s a community out there who would love nothing more than to lift you up,” said Travis Ellis, co-founder of Shepherd’s Men.
The organization raises money for the SHARE military initiative at Shepherd Center, which helps those with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other unseen injuries of war.
Thank you to Enjoy Cherokee for this feature article about Reformation’s CEO, Spencer Nix and our 10th Anniversary this October! It’s an honor to serve our community alongside neighbors who care deeply about small business in Cherokee County.
Excerpt:
“Undoubtedly there is something for everyone to love at Reformation, but this article goes deeper. It’s about how ten years ago, a Cherokee County man, his wife, and his friends followed a crazy dream and made something inviting where the whole community could come together.”
“You would have to look hard in Cherokee County to find someone who hasn’t had an experience with one of Reformation’s taprooms; they are cornerstones of the communities they serve. From community group meet-ups—including Reformation Books & Brews book club and MilVet Community veterans’ group—to live music, pop-up markets, silent discos, Galentine’s celebrations, trivia nights, yoga workshops, tailgate parties, fundraisers, and more, Reformation’s events draw in community members of all ages, interests, and backgrounds to meet and get to know each other.”
We were honored to win “Best Brewery” In Woodstock and Canton for Around Woodstock and Around Canton’s READERS’ CHOICE 2023 awards! 🥳🎈 🎉 🍻
All credit goes to our fabulous hardworking crew and you our loyal raving fans. We could not have come this far or kept going strong without all of the love and good vibes from our hometown community.
And, we could not think of a better way to celebrate the lead-up to Fall and the eve of our 10th anniversary this October 31st (along with our Cadence Fair 10/14).
Thank you, Woodstock, Canton, and all of our Cherokee County friends!
Cheers to many more moments together. 🍻 🥂
The circa-1900 Canton Cotton Mill, a former denim factory along the Etowah River’s winding banks near downtown, has been adapted into a shopping, dining, coworking, and day-drinking hangout. Laidback vibes emanate from Reformation Brewery’s massive space, across a gameday-ready green with a mega TV, to shops that run the gamut from trendy boutiques to antique Americana and a growing roster of eats. (Recommended: any chef-crafted sandwich from Community Burger, paired with scrumptious tater tots). Canton
