For Immediate Release: KSU Athletics Announces Partnership with Reformation Brewery
KENNESAW, Ga. — Kennesaw State Athletics is pleased to announce Reformation Brewery as its new official craft beer. In collaboration with the North Georgia based brewery, a Light Mexican Lager (4.7% alc/vol) named Lechuza Flight, as well as other Reformation offerings, will be available at select KSU Athletics events and all Reformation venues as part of a multi-year sponsorship.
“This partnership with Reformation Brewery is a natural fit for Kennesaw State Athletics,” said Director of Athletics Milton Overton. “We share a commitment to excellence, community connection, and creating memorable experiences for our fans. We are excited to collaborate on initiatives that celebrate KSU, enhance the gameday atmosphere, and further strengthen our presence throughout North Georgia.”
A ready-to-drink cocktail, Nocturnal Gold, will also be featured. Made with pineapple, yuzu, and Reformation’s house-distilled vodka (8.0% alc/vol), this canned RTD cocktail will be available at select KSU Athletics events as well as Reformation’s Woodstock and Canton venues starting this summer.
About the beverages
“Our Light Mexican Lager is a top choice at our venues, and for good reason,” said Reformation Director of Marketing Jessica Miller. “Light, clean, crisp – this style is easy drinking and a recipe we proudly stand behind as a quality craft lager made right here in Georgia. It’s an honor to have Kennesaw State Athletics behind it. As a small but growing hometown brewery, it’s going to be a pinch-me moment to see it served at the games.”
The name Lechuza Flight joins two languages of owl pride. Lechuza, Spanish for owl, honors the mascot itself, while Flight borrows from campus tradition – it’s Kennesaw State’s term for a graduating class, the identity students carry through milestones across their KSU years.
For Reformation, the pairing also resolved a question years in the making.
“What began as a small test batch has evolved into one of our brewery’s flagship beers,” said Reformation COO Ryan Morley-Stockton. “Despite its popularity, we never found a name and identity that fully captured what it represented. As this partnership took shape, the answer became obvious. This collaboration is a natural fit for our community, and we’re proud to celebrate the Kennesaw State Owls with this beer.”
Inspired by the official team colors of the Owls, Nocturnal Gold was created in support of the partnership. Built on Reformation’s premium 7x distilled vodka, the drink is described as smooth, sweet, and spirited – featuring real pineapple and citrusy yuzu in a cocktail-strength recipe. “When a cocktail idea came up in conversation, it just made sense to lean into the spirit of the athletics programs with something that celebrates that hometown black and gold,” said Morley-Stockton.
Availability and Rollout
At the Stadium
In addition to Lechuza Flight and Nocturnal Gold, the Walens Family Field at Fifth Third Stadium rollout will include Reformation IPA (Unfiltered American IPA), Reformation Peach Tee Vodka Lemonade, and their lineup of Reformation Craft Spirits in game suites.
The Owls’ six-game home football schedule features matchups versus West Georgia (Sept. 3) and Georgia State (Sept. 12), Jax State (Oct. 7) and Liberty (Oct. 22) as well as Delaware (Nov. 7) and FIU (Nov. 21). Games versus West Georgia, Georgia State, Jax State and Liberty are set for 7 p.m. ET kickoffs, while the Delaware and FIU games are scheduled for 3 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase here.

The Owls completed their championship trifecta with the 2026 CUSA Women’s Indoor Track and Field Title in February.
The year also featured the addition of a revitalized venue for KSU baseball as a $12.3 million renovation of the former Stillwell Stadium gave way to Mickey Dunn Stadium at Henssler Financial Field.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Canton this past weekend for The Reformation Rodeo. From line dancing and live music by Cody Bolden to the mechanical bull and our Shotgun can beer-a-myd attempt, it was a great turnout.
A huge thank you to our creative team for documenting the day so perfectly:
Check out the video recap and photo gallery below.
We are absolutely thrilled to share some massive news with the Reformation family! Our Coffee Liqueur just took home a Double Gold Medal at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, earning a phenomenal score of 97.
As one of the largest and most influential blind spirits competitions in the world, getting a Double Gold means our team’s dedication to quality truly stood out. Of course, a world-class coffee liqueur starts with world-class coffee – which is why this win belongs just as much to our friends at Alma Coffee. Their incredible, locally roasted beans are the heart and soul of this recipe.
We couldn’t have done this without amazing partners and your support. Swing by the taproom or grab a bottle online to taste what a 97-score award winner tastes like! Cheers!
“Recognition from not only the US Spirits Open, but also the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in the same year, is a testament to the hard work, consistency, and dedication of our incredible production team. From collaborating locally on ingredients to maintaining our commitment to small-batch processes, we’ve always believed our Coffee Liqueur was something truly special. To see it earn this level of recognition (especially alongside our award-winning portfolio of beers) is incredibly rewarding. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone at Reformation, and we’re honored to bring home this Double Gold distinction.”
— Ryan Morley-Stockton, COO
“To see our crew’s dedication recognized with a double gold medal for our Coffee Liqueur is deeply humbling. Winning something like this with our friends at Alma Coffee is certainly one of those awesome moments we all love to celebrate. But the real beauty lies in the quiet, everyday work that got us here.
It is so easy to get lost in the grind of building a business, putting our heads down and working on the tasks of running it. But this collaboration and recognition reflect the authentic alignment of our crew’s values, who fundamentally believe in creating spaces for people to connect and crafting products that are simply the best in class.”
— Spencer, CEO/Cofounder

Community spirit was in full bloom this past weekend! Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday to watch the Georgia Impact take on Nashville. Together, we didn’t just watch a great match – we also raised critical support for local women’s soccer with every pint enjoyed.
If you want to keep the good vibes going, you’re in luck: Prickly Pear Ranch Water is still available on draft and in to-go packs at Reformation Woodstock and Canton. We are continuing to donate $1 per purchase to support the league! We captured so many incredible smiles and moments this weekend.
Big thanks to Lindsay Ann Photography for capturing the spirit!
Despite the grey skies, this past Monday turned out to be an unforgettable celebration of community and honor. Our Woodstock location was packed with neighbors coming together to remember our heroes and celebrate the official return of Clarity Lager. The feast from the smoker kept everyone fed, the live music kept the vibes high, and the entire brewery came alive when we welcomed the Shepherd’s Men and Milvet walkers after their morning trek. Standing together for the 3:00 PM National Moment of Silence was a powerful reminder of why we do this. We are so grateful to everyone who braved the weather to support a life-saving mission for our nation’s warfighters – check out these incredible highlights of the day captured by photographer Rachel Clink.
What an incredible turnout for last Saturday’s Decades Silent Disco! With three DJs spinning different eras, the energy was electric and the dance floor was packed with nostalgia.
We owe a massive thank you to our amazing content creators for capturing the night perfectly:
Dylan Winchester for the stellar recap video below that perfectly bottles up the high-energy vibe.

What a way to celebrate seven years in Canton! Our first annual MayFair at The Mill on Etowah was one for the books.
Between the live sets from Dylan Cole, Jake Hughes, and The TICS, the local treasures at the Bloom Exchange market, and plenty of Strawberry Hibiscus Long Drinks – we sold out!! (it’s be back again soon don’t worry), the energy was incredible. We loved seeing the community come together to toast to seven years of local flavor.
A huge thank you to our photographer, Abigail Peyton, for capturing the spirit of the day so beautifully. You can see some of our favorite moments in the gallery below!
