Reformation Brewery (Woodstock)

🍺 Five Stars All Around! This brewery exceeded every expectation! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and relaxed — the kind of place where you can instantly unwind. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happy to walk us through the tap list and offer samples until we found the perfect pours. The space itself is just as impressive. Plenty of seating, cool decor, and even some fun clothing, cups, and accesories. I’s clear they’ve created not just a brewery, but a community hangout. Highly recommend stopping by whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just looking for a great local spot to chill. When we are in the area again, we will be back!

Put this on Radar coming back from Amicalola Falls Park. What a GREAT idea that was. This place is low-key but Fabulous. The beers are VERY good and had lunch at Queenies BBQ attached to the place. I will have to admit the bowl of chili I had was the best tasting I have ever consumed. If you are Thirsty, GO there, IF you are hungry GO there! You will not be disappointed.

What an awesome place! This spot has quickly become one of my favorite hangouts—especially in the summer. The vibe is just perfect: laid-back, friendly, and full of good energy. Whether you're meeting up with friends or just unwinding after a long day, it’s the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. They’ve got a great selection of cold beers, and sipping one outside while enjoying the sunshine and fresh air is exactly what summer should feel like. The outdoor seating is super comfortable, and there's usually music playing—just enough to add to the atmosphere without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect combo of chill and fun. If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak up the season, you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend checking it out!

I've been a long time visiter at this location. Unfortunately, the outside area has become a little grimy.. yellow jackets everywhere, chairs are broken, chipped, and dirty, and the mulch is more like a dog piss filled dirt. The Canton reformation is on a whole different level of niceness!

This brewery was pretty good and not TOO BAD. They had plenty of inside and outside seating. It had a really good California feel to it, but without all of the politics and taxes associated with California. The beer selection is nice and their beers are pretty good. Went for memorial day. We also had a hog roast there and that was amazing too. I really like the plethora of outside seating. Down town Woodstock has grown alit! Ok Bye

I love hanging out at Reformation with friends, especially before concerts. The vibe is fun and relaxing. My issue is that some of my friends don't drink beer, so we've tried their cocktails, but have been seriously disappointed each time. Last night, we tried the "Skinny Margarita", the Blueberry Ranch Water, the Peach Tree Vodka Lemonade, and the Black Cherry Lime Seltzer. All were so watered-down tasting and terrible that we could hardly drink them except for the vodka lemonade, which my husband said was ok. Since you have a "no outside drinks" policy, which is understandable, it would be nice if you could try to improve your beer alternatives.

For visitors popping by the Atlanta region, this is a true hole in the wall spot an hour north of the city. Lindsay and the crew were a sweet bunch to be seen. Especially when I mentioned I was coming from out of state to check out this place! Particularly after partying too hard during my visit in Atlanta proper I was impressed by the beer selection for someone trying to lay back on the fun (even though it was quite small) yet less is better in my opinion. Their Mexican lager and IPA was much more elevated than similar craft beers I've had (and had more taste than your typical grocery store beers). Can't wait to return here when another trip to ATL is in the pipeline.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Love the outdoor space with the little trailer and lounge chairs. the minute you open the front door to Reformation Brewery you can hear and feel the fun. The have games, tons of sitting area, and good food! SERVICE: Fantastic! John & Hunter were super friendly and happy to be there. FOOD & BEER: Great beer, I had their flight and really enjoyed all the beers. My fav were the light ones, super smooth and refreshing. Great food as well, the chicken wings were my favorite and the fritters. But it's all very tasty and savory. OVERALL: Great atmosphere , good food, good beer. What else can you ask for. And you can take the kids!

I like this place. I come here a lot. It is super convenient, situated within short walking distance from everything downtown Woodstock has to offer. I recommend that you visit here -- it is an excellent representation of Georgia craft beer that has enjoyed a successful distribution as well as taproom experience. I generally like the beers here, there are a wide variety and there is a lot of rotation from month-to-month. I enjoy the Base Camp series best and they had a wet hop beer recently that was stellar. I do notice that sometimes the beers have a somewhat antiseptic/medicine finish that isn't great, but the next sip drowns it out with hoppy goodness. There isn't much space inside for hanging out, just a few barstools that you won't get any attention at (servers standing right in front of you require you to stand up and walk five feet to the right to order your next beer). The real jewel is the outdoor space that is always buzzing with activity. If you visit on gameday (UGA or Braves) be prepared to jockey for an Adirondack chair. The location is super dog-friendly, and my kid enjoys the doggo meet-and-greet that inevitably happens. This location shares space with Queenie's BBQ, so that is convenient. Queenie's is an entirely separate review (spoiler: it is satisfactory BBQ that benefits from a really good location).

This is my favorite watering hole, LoL, since relocating to the 'stock!!! The staff is hella personable & military get 25% discount on all taps! They have a mbrshp U can join ... they give U a Letterman Jacket & a mug that they keep @ the venue so when U come. They'll pour Ur choice of brew in the mug that's over 16oz for the same price of what they have on tap, but don't quote me on the oz, I just know it's more than the plastic cup; size which depends on if the draft is brewed w/ Vodka/Tequila... anyway, I'm talking all about it bc I'm so excited to wna be a part of "the" mbrshp to get exclusive invites=*} They are Doggo friendly! They have fresh water bowls & it seems like the staff makes sure that they try to keep them clean from debris. They also have a corn hole league but if Ur reading this after Aug 2023, then it's too late to sign up. Follow them on IG to get all the latest scoop!!! My flavorite draft on tap was one of their seasonal summer brew that had watermelon & mint!!! They have other breweries on MainStreet... but don't sleep on Reformation! Their venue is hellllla bigger than the others & they have lawn games, outdoor TVs, bigger lawn chairs, and they also have an outdoor bar besides the two bars indoors. I can go in for days, LoL!!! #RunDatBack #ReformationBrewery

Fun place- all the beers you can imagine. Has a BBQ restaurant inside, cafeteria style ordering. Seating inside and outside . Pets allowed outside.

Outside seating is awesome with a nice cold beer! Service was great! I bought my in-laws and they had a blast!

This place is crushing it. Great beer, several taps on premises, not all have everything, but very convenient to get server. Fellow coworker from DAL was one of startup owners. Several food choices to select from and outdoor space is very pleasant to sit, relax and chat. Music in background is actually background. You don't have to yell, just to have conversation. Going to be a regular drop in. Only minus, somewhat limited parking option. Cheers.

The beer was really good. Had a New England style ipa that was very tasty. Queenies bbq was the restaurant inside the brewery's multiple levels and hang out spaces. Queenie use had solid brisket, decent smoked turkey breast, good house made French fries. The tacos sucked as they came out in a deconstructed format where you have to build them yourself. We got there late from Jekyll brewing across the parking lot. So we we were not that hungry. I'd go back. Live downtown Woodstock, who knew?!

Stopped in on way to dinner to have a drink. Really neat place inside and out. Was really busy and upbeat. Drinks weren't great(raspberry cosmopolitan and liquor slushie) Would've been 5 stars but staff not interested in great service, they were friendly enough if you could get their attention from talking and looking at phones.

Easy going brewery, tons of outdoor seating options. Service was quick and friendly!

"Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer's day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented." ― Gilbert K. Chesterton While my walk to Reformation is only two miles on the Noonday Creek Trail, I definitely appreciate the sentiment, and the invention of beer! Positioned directly at the trail entrance, or in my case, the end of the trail, Reformation is always a welcome sight. Some days I'm the only one sitting on the lawn, other times there is standing room only. Reformation has a few beers I am partial to. "Jogr" is a solid IPA. "A Cold One" is a decent light lager. I'm a fan of their "Jonathan Peyton" a grapefruit shandy. Not everyone will love the beers, some are average, but you can try before you buy, and chances are you will definitely find something to your liking. Plenty of seating inside, great outdoor seating, but it's a popular spot so you may have to scout out a spot when it's busy. Service is always friendly. A great spot to spend some time while in Downtown Woodstock!

A well done brewery in downtown Woodstock. I love the fruits of the craft beer revolution. Nearly all experience the "build it and they will come" mantra and Reformatin Brewery is certainly no exception as it appeared to be place to be on my first visit, a Saturday night. The brewery has some indoor seating but also sports a very large outdoor area for hanging out with your brew. Some of it paved patio, but most a wooded surruounding in the heart of downtown with a mulched "floor". Now to the brews themselves. I had only tried a couple of their beers prior to this visit and they were canned, beer that I had purchased at the store or events. I tried a couple samples as well as a couple of their beers. Overall, for me, my experience with their beer has been that there decent, but nothing noteworthy. However, I'll definitely give them another shot the next time I'm in town.

Best Sunday afternoon hangout in town! It is a true community gathering. Always worth being here and enjoying a beer or two.

Great place to grab a beer with friends and have your kids tag-a-long with... Will post more later

Visiting GA and went with some friends and had a blast! They allow you to sample the beer that they brew which assures that you get the right one ...sweet vibe...service was a bit uneven...ladies get noticeable preferred treatment/service

Great beer selection, wonderful combinations of taste! Wonderful staff very dog friendly they've got heaters when it's cold. Wonderful outside space looks like they got a few good siders just a wonderful experience in downtown Woodstock.

Stopped here for a quick beer after a long (and HOT) walk on the trails. We had the baby with us so I grabbed some chairs outside and my husband went in to grab drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating which we loved. There is mulch on the ground so we would need a really thick blanket to put our baby down on the ground. She was fine being held for this visit! There were no food trucks at the time but it was early afternoon on a weekday. Could totally see us coming back here to hang out. I didn't try the beer, but hubs said it was great.

Good beer. Good atmosphere. Smack dab in the middle of downtown Woodstock. Bring the pups and kids with you to enjoy a nice Saturday watching football.

Excellent setting, friendly people. Great food and drinks. A slice of heaven. We enjoyed the live music in the beautiful park setting. We'll be back.

Visit date: Friday 4.1.22 8pm Reviewed: 4.9.22 Reformation is our go-to spot for a drink before dinner in Woodstock. They have excellent craft beer, in a fun and casual brewery. You grab a drink from the bar, with the choice of a plastic cup or a glass. You can walk around in Woodstock with a cup, so that's a neat option. Then select a seat in a big wooden booth or at a communal table. If you would like to order food, there is a separate area for that (we haven't tried the food yet). There were lots of families, singles, and couples. Again it's a fun place. We usually put our name on a nearby restaurant wait list and chill out here, waiting for the text alert. We bring friends from out of town to Reformation so they can experience the great beers and cool, laid back environment. It's so much fun!

This is one fun brewery. All kinds of outdoor seating under a giant tree super chill.. BBQ next door is Queenies and it's also very good and convenient. In the winter they have fire pits for all to use for free and they tend to them. The beer is also very tasty but the atmosphere is a taen families dogs ferrets rabbits whatever kind of pet you have bring them all!!

Service was amazing! Great weather for my trip to Woodstock, tons of seating outside. Didn't order food, but Queenies smelt amazing!!

Great place for a date night or get together with friends. They have plenty of outdoor space and chairs and some fire pits to sit around and keep warm. There are TVs outside too if you want to watch a game., They have several varying beer to try and a friendly staff to help you decide what to order. They also have a coffee bar if you don't like beer. And they sell the coffee so you can brew it at home too.

Visited this gem with the CORK BROS for a tasting.. Look em up on Instagram! FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Love the outdoor space with the little trailer and lounge chairs. the minute you open the front door to Reformation Brewery you can hear and feel the fun. The have games, tons of sitting area, and good food! SERVICE: Fantastic, John & Hunter at the bar were super friendly and happy to be there. FOOD & BEER: Great beer, I had their flight and really enjoyed all the beers. My fav were the light ones, super smooth and refreshing. Great food as well, the chicken wings were my favorite and the fritters. But it's all very tasty and savory. OVERALL: Great atmosphere , good food, good beer. What else can you ask for. And you can take the kids!

Came by for an event with some local foodies and the cork bros and loved everything reformation had to offer. Parking deets? There is a lot, but rather small and fills up quickly. Street parking is available and you can park further away on the main road and walk up to the brewery. The selection they offered was great, I stuck to their sours and enjoyed them thoroughly. The staff was friendly and the place is huge perfect for a big group of friends our just a date night. Johh and Hunter did a great job answering our questions and overall our whole experience since it was our first time there. Queenie's BBQ is also served at the brewery.. pretty good stuff there too. The fritters and wings were probably my favorite and all the sides especially the mac and cheese!

This place is awesome! They have a fire pit outside and a stage where there was live music on a Friday! Lots of benches and seating to enjoy a nice day outside! The inside has a lot of seating and they played rap music in the later portion of the night. Great beer options with several sours! There's a lot of parking around that is free- if it's a peak time you may have to do some walking!

They name a couple of their beers after GOT characters and locations, so I already knew I would like this place! Parking at the brewery may be hard to do, but don't worry! There's a church & big lot with additional spots that is a short distance. Plus, a little walking is especially good when you've got a protruding beer belly! You can stop by Low-Co Motion food truck if you're hungry because like 99.9% of breweries, food isn't served. There's a lot of places to sit and stand inside with a huge outdoor area with picnic tables on the patio and chairs underneath a gigantic tree. We stayed there for awhile and tried a smogulous board of beers that included Bonfire Chats, Stark, Morning Haze, Declaration and Cadence. They give samples if you have a hard time deciding! Veterans get 25% off of their tab and if you're in the service industry, I believe it's 50% off. I really love how this brewery supports the community and really love the patriotic energy, too.

Moving into Woodstock and decided to pop in and have lunch. I tell you those wings were the best wings I've had in a long long time. Smoked for a while and finished up in the frier. Delicious

I can't think of a better place to have a beer, and soak up the sun. Reformation is just incredible! So far my favorite beers start with a "J". Jude and JOGR. (Hi my name is (J)ohn, nice to meet you.) But there is something for everyone, and these beers pair so damn well with food! Luckily they have a BBQ joint right inside called Queenie's. Reformation is PACKED on the weekends!! Get there early if you want one of their awesome Adirondack chairs and fire pit combos. Plenty of service areas, including an outdoor converted shipping container. They also serve Alma coffee inside which I'm a HUGE fan of! Lots of little cozy places to sit inside, and board games to boot, but GET HERE (early) for the outdoor vibes! You can't beat it!!

The beer is great the ambiance is amazing and the service is fast and friendly. I have come here many times and i love it especially the outdoor area.

Literally the only brewery I've ever been to that doesn't offer a flight of their products. Guess it's a Georgia thing because that doesn't fly in Tennessee breweries. After being forced to buy a whole beer just to try it, I would say my experience here was somewhere between, "10 minutes I'll never get back and, should've went anywhere else. EDIT: I get it, COVID-19 makes things more challenging for small business (all businesses) BUT AS A BREWERY YOU CANT USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT HAVE FLIGHTS WHEN THREE STAFF MEMBERS CONGREGATING AROUND THE CASH REGISTER ALL HAVE THEIR MASKS PULLED DOWN OFF THEIR NOSE AND MOUTH AND UNDER THEIR CHINS. *hence the reason I would have never assumed "no flights due to COVID" No glass cups? Use plastic...no carrying tray? Why do you need it in the first place? If I'm willing to pay for it and you are within your rights per the ABC...why turn away a customer? At the very least Instruct your staff to inform anyone asking for a flight (or samples) that you aren't currently offering them due to COVID-19. When I asked for a flight or a sample I was quickly told, "we don't do that" with no explanation. Again I will reiterate, COVID is tough on everyone, but we have to make the most of it, not make excuses to be lazy because of it.

Fun place to gather with friends, family and your pets. Good beer, good service and food is nice. Can't wait for the warm weather.

Great sample of micro brews. Ambience is loose fun and entertaining. Didn't sample food, was there for beer Cadence brew was my choice and was able to take out some to bring home.

The atmosphere is fine, but the beer is lackluster. 4.5 stars is quite generous; the pale ale and lager are solid, but the rest were disappointing. Travel a bit and get a much better beer. Can't argue with the price though

What a beautiful patio! We enjoyed spending a Saturday afternoon at Reformation Brewery during their Siete de Mayo pub crawl. Except we failed at pub crawling because we just hung out at Reformation the whole time. It has a beautiful tree-covered backyard with tons of picnic tables and Adirondack chairs where you can sit. Dogs and kids are welcome, and there were many of them. The passionfruit beer was great, and I'd definitely recommend that over the hard seltzers if you're looking for something sweet. They have a bunch of board games inside, but when I asked about them, the bartender wasn't sure of the exact rules. She thought it was something like $5 to play a board game, and you could exchange one for another when you finished the first. I'd probably just bring my own games in the future because of that. The brewery is right in the middle of downtown Woodstock, which we were pleasantly surprised by. There are many other bars and restaurants within walking distance, so Reformation would make a great pre-dinner drinking spot.

Reformation Brewery is located just off of the hustle and bustle of Maine Street in downtown Woodstock. This is a great location for gathering with friends or families alike. There is a wonderful outdoor area with ample seating and tv screens to catch the big game on while enjoying a pint. Inside you can either sit in an indoor/outdoor area or indoor. It's also connected to an excellent bbq restaurant where you can order delicious pulled pork tacos. The most important thing for any brewery though is the beer itself. Here you will not be disappointed. They over a wide variety of beer for every palate. I recommend the Oren for someone who is not a big craft beer fan or is new to it. Their ipa's are exceptional as well as their Belgian Ales of course. This is definitely worth visiting next time you are in the area!

Great ambiance and good beers. Sit out under the enormous tree and enjoy a drink. Grab some BBQ next door and make it a meal.

This is a gem right in the heart of downtown Woodstock. It's such a cool spot to grab a beer . My fav beer is Cadence which is a smooth lager without the sour or hoppy taste. . They also have Queenies BBQ as the tasty in house restaurant that's dropping the best bbq in the ATL area. A very cool upstairs & downstairs area for getting cozy. I am in love with the layout of this brewery.

I've never been to Reformation Brewery before and tonight was GREAT! They had super friendly staff and the overall atmosphere of this place was just super! I'm not a big beer drinker but the staff was super helpful with recommendations and letting me try this and that. Peyton was amazing, she is truly the sweetest so if you see her here make sure to tip her well cause she deserves it!! I'll definitely be back soon cause this was money well spent!

I absolutely love this fabulous brewery in downtown Woodstock, and not just for their terrific beer. With dozens of craft breweries popping up in every major metro area, good beer is fast becoming something of a commodity -- name me a craft brewery ANYWHERE that doesn't have at least a couple good beers on tap. But location and atmosphere are what give a brewery an advantage over its peers, along with access to great food, either from a truck on the curb or a kitchen onsite. And it's those things that make Reformation one of the best breweries I've visited, pretty much anywhere. First, the beer: yes, I've had better IPAs elsewhere, but their Nolan the Wanderer and Windfall were both solid, hoppy brews, and I'm looking forward to trying more from their menu. But it's the environment, with ample seating inside and out, a deck overlooking downtown Woodstock, a spacious lawn with Adirondack chairs, and a massive library of board games, that's tough to beat. Add to this the fact that Reformation shares its space with Queenie's, a terrific local BBQ joint with an onsite kitchen, and you start to see why this is a brewery like few others. The only downside to the whole experience is parking, which is tough to come by anywhere in downtown Woodstock. But Ubers are in steady supply, and the brewery is at the northern end of the Noonday Creek Greenway, which connects it to multiple apartment complexes, neighborhoods, and Hwy 92. Reformation is one of the coolest breweries I've been to in metro Atlanta, and one I'll be returning to again and again.

I LOVE Reformation. Their beer, BBQ, and general vibe are off the charts. It's THE PLACE to hang out in Woodstock for any season. Their wood burning fire pits out back are the best. I just wish that warm space didn't fill up so fast in the winter time. I can never find a spot near a fire pit when I want. Otherwise you'll love it! Declaration and A Cold One are the bomdiggity go to beers. Watch out for Declaration though. It's over 9% and will put you on your a$$ if you're not careful...

Reformation Brewery really needs to be credited with the revitalization of downtown Woodstock. They have poured a ton of money into the local area by hosting festivals, partnering with local business, and purchasing/revitalizing local real estate both in Woodstock and soon, Canton. All that to be said. The vibe at Reformation varies. Some days it's a dog park which sells beer, sometimes it feels like a daycare with beer, and other times it feels like your local pick me spot. Went have gone on several occasions and hit it just perfect: no crowd, good selection of beer and a combination of well behaved children and dogs outside. Plenty of seating and perfect temps made it a great visit. Hope to be a regular when the Canton location opens.

Though I may have just discovered Reformation Brewery several months ago, it's a place that immediately feels like a home away from home. I've hung out on the patio, across the street on the yawn, dined at the attached BBQ restaurant, and taken my toddler daughter in and out to the bathroom 5x in one evening. But every time I feel comfortable and like I belong. Not only is it hard to find that place that feels like this, but then you also have to have good tasting drinks as well. And Reformation delivers. I've enjoyed all the beers that I've consumed from here. I can't say enough wonderful things about Reformation and am thankful that they're located in the same town where I live!

Woodstock's Reformation Brewery is a great place for traditional and craft beers. But it's more than that! Reformation's partnership with Queenies BBQ brings you incredible BBQ Brisket with a variety of delicious sides. But there's still more to Reformation -- it's a place to enjoy the best local musicians outside while sipping beer and eating food with friends and family under the giant tree limbs of a Winged Elm -- the second largest in Georgia! Woodstock's Reformation Brewery is the best place to enjoy food, drink, family, friends, and music outdoors in their chairs and tables or bring your own. Reformation Brewery is a must visit site in Woodstock. See you there!

Reformation has done an amazing job with this place. The location and layout are amazing. Oh yeah, the beer. Sooo good and consistent. How about a Kennesaw location???

we were having great time but then the music changed and changed for the worst. We are in Woodstock not downtown Atlanta, know your audience. we hated to have to leave but the super loud rap music was terrible. Really, we love this place...oh well.

Great beer selection. Good barbecue and Best atmosphere of any brewery in the area. Outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoors on the lawn in the shade of huge trees or walk over with the kids to the playground.

Reformation, we have to have a conversation... I understand that we are keeping with the times and the younger generation wants to enjoy the cozy feeling of being almost "home". This is not the refugee you are looking for...Perhaps it is my jaded mind for traditions. But a place that sells craft beers should not allow for people to bring their children and to let run around in this place. More times than not I see the kids coming in and distrusting my cocktail vibe. When it's crushed, I'm down for the night. Games on the wall, multi generational folks flock to the back tables, a lawn filled with plastic Adirondack chairs. I get it, cool... but when the beer is inconsistent. (There was a huge taste variance of quality.) I think the tap lines depleted the carbonation. All the beers were considered flat. I told them that the beer I took right they said yeah yeah... Off I go. I love the fact that we have a somewhat cool brewery in my town but this stuff has got to be consistent. I always brag abt how this beer especially Orens beer. If I come here and the tap lines suck. Imma be pissed and not come back... in the meantime I'll keep buying the canned products. Thanks...

Reformation is a must visit spot in downtown Woodstock! They've recently opened a beautiful new space on the back side of downtown, with several different options for indoor and outdoor seating. A beautiful old tree sits in the lawn with chairs, a fire pit, and corn hole to enjoy. Two bars inside have a large range of beers available only at the tap room! The brewery is a great place to meet friends or family. It's perfect for large groups to gather. The only downside? I just don't love Reformation's beer! It's all good, but if you are a big IPA person, all their offerings are good not great. But the price is right, the location good, and the ambience perfect ... so I'll let the average beer pass!

Great beer and friendly staff, Blake was a great bartender! Loved the sour beers and being able to walk around downtown Woodstock with my reformation beer in hand. Will def be back!

I love this place! It always feels like home when we come and the staff is so welcoming! Zoe is so sweet and always has a great recommendation for a new beer to try! Best craft brewery in Georgia, hands down! Try it out and you won't regret it :)

My favorite backyard spot. It's now become such a regular spot that I will get their beer for home to enjoy too. Even if you don't enjoy IPAs give the reformation IPA a chance. It's my favorite!
