Big news worth raising a pint to! Reformation Brewery has been voted a Best of Georgia Regional winner for 2025. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of our fans and community. Check out the full list of this year’s honorees here:
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.
