Host Mike sits down with Kyle Thomas of Reformation Brewery to trace Kyle’s journey from growler shop work to running the canning line and rising to the brew stand. They cover Reformation’s roots and community-first mission in Woodstock and Canton, signature beers like the beloved "Cold One" and a creamsicle-style slushy, and why the taproom focuses on bringing people together. The episode digs into brewing styles Kyle loves (West Coast IPAs and lagers), the creativity of the Woodstock five-barrel brew house, collaborations with Abstracts, Creature Comforts and others, and recent awards including a CBC Skunk Works win and national medals. Along the way Mike and Kyle chat baseball (Braves stories), college football, touring brewery scenes (San Diego, Asheville), life in the brewery, staff culture, and how competitions and collabs shape regional craft beer. Expect an honest, personal conversation about craft, community, and what it takes to make great beer.
