What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate 13 years of Reformation Woodstock. The whole backyard was electric from start to finish – packed with cold beer, local markets, carnival rides and games for the kids, an unforgettable Saturday night set from Pony Bradshaw on the Green, and incredible Sunday medieval performance from the North GA Crusaders.
Special thanks to Visit Woodstock GA, Reliable Paper, Freedom Lawyers, GiftedbySyd, Woodstock Arts, Cornhole ATL, LightsUp! Entertainment, and ChrisAlly Events.
Cheers to 13 years, Woodstock – see you in the backyard! 🍻
Thirteen years ago, on October 31, 2013, we opened the doors of what was then the smallest brewery in Georgia. Halloween to most people. Reformation Day to a couple of church history geeks who thought it was the perfect day to start something.
But the truth is it started earlier than that. It started with brew night every third Friday on ten acres out near Waleska. A few friends, a few homebrew kegs, and a lot of conversation. Then somebody brought a guitar. Somebody else brought a firepit. Before long we had a hundred people showing up and folks from far and near in Nick’s backyard. We never really planned any of it. People kept coming, so we kept making room.
I think about those nights every October.
A few years back I wrote that many of us had lost our cadence. The world had knocked us out of rhythm, and the loudest voice in the room was driving the narrative. I’d love to tell you that’s all behind us now. It isn’t. Most of us are still running on the treadmill, still performing for somebody, still a little too tired to just sit down with a friend or neighbor and enjoy the afternoon.
That’s why Cadence Fair matters to me more every year. It’s one weekend where nobody has to perform. You don’t have to be anything other than here.
And here is a lot this year. October 23rd through the 25th, free, across Reformation’s backyard and the Woodstock Arts Green. Friday kicks things off with live music and the Bloom Market artisans and finishes with Red Letter Blond’s (IYKYK) reunion show. Saturday the carnival rides start at 10am, the food trucks roll in, and our headliner Pony Bradshaw takes the Woodstock Arts stage at 7pm. For real, I’ve been dreaming for years of featuring the elite musical talent of North Georgia’s scene, and this year we’ve made it reality. Cadence Fair weekend is the best independent music lineup in North Georgia. Sunday we’ve got a cornhole tournament, Maker’s Mash vendors, and a Beer Mile, which is a questionable idea I fully endorse. We’re also pulling a few gifts out of the vault and dropping two releases from our specialty bourbon and whiskey series.
But honestly, the lineup isn’t what I’m most excited about. It’s the little stuff I’ll see from the corner of the yard. Kids sticky from a sweet treat, begging for one more ride. Somebody’s grandparents in camp chairs they hauled from the car. Old regulars who’ve been coming since the brew night days, now bringing their own kids. The out-of-town couple looking to relocate for work and finding the community of their dreams.
None of this happens without our crew, who work on this fair the entire year and will work harder this weekend than any weekend of the year, or without our sponsors, led by Path & Post who believe in this as much as we do. And it sure doesn’t happen without you. Thirteen years of you showing up is the whole story. Cadence Fair is our gift back to you.
So bring a chair. Bring your people. Come sit a while.

Fall weather, great community, and a nod to Canton’s rich heritage – Denim Fest was everything we hoped for and more!
A couple of weekends ago, the grounds at The Mill on Etowah came alive as we marked five years of fall tradition. From the moment the gates opened, the energy was electric. Between browsing rows of talented local artisan vendors and watching families take on the carnival rides and classic tent games, the community showed up in full force.
Visitors kicked back to catch college football on the giant screen while sipping our exclusive Bourbon Cream Soda – crafted with Reformation Bourbon and rich notes of vanilla and caramel. With pop-up bars flowing and ideal blue skies overhead, it was the perfect way to spend an autumn weekend.
A massive thank-you goes out to everyone who came out, supported our vendors, and made this year’s festival unforgettable.

From cider slushes to college football on the big screen, this year’s Fall Festival at Reformation Woodstock was one for the books! Crisp autumn weather brought out a fantastic crowd to bob for apples, enjoy stein specials, and kick back with live music all afternoon long.
A huge thank you to photographer Rachel Clink for capturing all the best moments of the day.
Field day isn’t just for kids – and this past weekend at Reformation Canton proved we’ve still got it!
From intense Beer Pong matches and ridiculously fun Potato Sack Races to a straight-up epic Tug of War showdown, the competition was real (and so were the laughs). Big congrats to all of our tournament champions who took home the crown! Once the games wrapped up, we kicked back around the fire with some s’mores before throwing on headphones and tearing up the Silent Disco.
Honestly, days like this are what it’s all about, and we loved seeing everyone show up and bring the good vibes. Massive shoutout and thank you to Rachel Clink for capturing the moments!
Huge thanks to everyone who came out to Reformation Woodstock last week to help us kick off the first drop of our 2026 Curator’s Series and celebrate Spencer’s 50th birthday!

What an incredible turnout for our Back to Hogwarts Day celebration! The weather was great, the costumes were legendary, and we poured endless glasses of Butterbeer and Gilly Water.

We are beyond thrilled to announce a major milestone for our production team and local community! Reformation Coffee Liqueur took home top honors at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, earning a Double Gold Medal, a phenomenal score of 97, and being named Best of Category: Best New Liqueur.
To stand out in one of the largest and most influential blind spirits competitions in the world is a testament to small-batch dedication and using exceptional ingredients. Crafted with vanilla, cacao, and extra dark locally roasted coffee beans, the heart and soul of this recipe belongs to our partners at Alma Coffee.
As our CEO and Co-Founder, Spencer, shared: “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.” Swing by the taproom or order online to taste what a 97-score award winner tastes like!
