A look back at Cadence Fair 2023 and Reformation’s 10th Anniversary, video by The Highlight Reel ATL
“Reformation is turning 11 years old and it truly feels like our brand is in her tween era. There’s no denying this venture has been like a child to me and many others who have invested so much. We have loved her, nurtured her, protected her, and in some ways spoiled her. And now she’s exploring outside the nest. Trying new things, experimenting with new relationships, and sometimes she’s a little weird. But at the end of the day, she is fundamentally the same. Same values, same vision, same goals as when she started. As CEO I am learning to trust others with more of Reformation’s future. And honestly, the more I entrust her, the more I see her shine. I’m really proud. Proud of the brand Reformation has been, is today, and will be tomorrow.
I look forward to these next few years, even as the craft-made industry as a whole remains in flux. Many challenges exist today and more are on the horizon, but Reformation is well positioned to seize the day and continue our vision of liberating moments that matter to the reformer in everyone. I look forward to continuing to grow the business and spread the joy that Reformation can bring to individuals and communities.
Times like ours remind us that the simple act of raising a glass, whether it be a beer, a cocktail, a glass of wine, a highball of quality spirit, or a non-alcoholic alternative, is a means of grace. Gathering in a communal space outside of work or home, putting down our phones, and engaging in a real analog conversation will always be sacred. Reformation exists for these moments and I hope we will be raising toasts with each other for many years to come.
I am so grateful for the many employees of Reformation past and present. Thank you to all those who have loved and invested in Reformation. And not only our crew members, but our investors, our distribution and retail partners, and of course our loving community. I am truly humbled by it all.
This is why we take such lengths to celebrate the gift of Reformation and the gift of community with our annual Cadence Fair. As we turn the page to a new decade, we’re extending the fair for the entire weekend. Three days of fun and music at our Woodstock venue and everyone’s invited! This is a great weekend to invite your out-of-town family or friends to come visit while you flex your community. And there’s plenty to flex, something for everyone.
Let’s raise a toast and celebrate together again!” – Spencer Nix, CEO & Cofounder Reformation Brewery
A Day of Heroes and Learning! The 575 Fools First Annual Muster firefighter competition was a blast, with courageous first responders showing off their skills and sharing their passion with the community. Kids got a hands-on look at firefighting gear and learned from the best. Thank you to all the firefighters who made this event unforgettable! Photos @photosbylindsayann

On St. Patty’s Day weekend, our Letterman Club members descended on our green backyard with a sea of red Reformation energy! Over 41 of our members, including their +1s, joined us for a member-led march to kick off our 2024 Shamrock Pub Crawl and walk downtown Woodstock to support our local merchants together. We had the privilege of welcoming our first-year members by robing them with their club jackets. Then, we raised our mugs, geared up, and with flagman in the lead, marched from eatery to eatery proudly showing our support for downtown Woodstock and its many local restaurants and bars.
We hope you’ll stay up to date with our Letterman Club this year and stay tuned for details on 2025 membership opening up in October. Discover all the benefits of belonging to this growing community of fans, friends, and reformers. 🍻🔴 Click here to learn more.

Thanks for celebrating with us and kicking off an early Spring in true Irish style!

📢📢📢 ATTENTION all GEORGIA Beer Lovers, Small Business Champions, and Do Gooders – this is your moment to SHINE! Just 5 MINUTES can mean the world of difference.
😘 Be courteous. Be respectful. Keep it short and direct.
Here’s a sample script: “Hello, I’m calling Senator ______, urging him/her to support SB 163 for Georgia’s Small Breweries.”
✅ That’s it. Short and sweet. Thank the person on the phone. It won’t be the Senator. Thursday, February 22nd is our last opportunity for the Georgia Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee to vote on Senate Bill 163, “The F.O.A.M. Act.” SB 163 would give small breweries desperately needed flexibility by allowing them to self-distribute a limited amount of product locally to retailers and raise the daily “to-go” sales cap.
