Reformation Brewery To Unveil Alani The Lighthearted

WOODSTOCK, GA — Next week, Reformation Brewery will welcome a new twist on its lineup of craft beer. Alani The Lighthearted, a Rosé Ale that pairs wine and beer together for an intriguing, quirky result, will be introduced to patrons on Friday, May 4 for the company's “May the Fourth be with Brew” celebration.

Attendees will compete in a Star Wars themed best-dressed competition, enjoy limited draft-only beers made for the occasion and cast votes for the “Light Side or the Dark Side.”

With a 4.7 percent ABV, Alani The Lighthearted is a lightly tart, hybrid ale with grape must, cranberry, apple and hibiscus, as well as traditional pilsner malts. This refreshing, light bodied beer is perfect for the hot summer months and will be available on draft and in 12 oz. cans at the brewery and throughout Georgia.

“Alani The Lighthearted represents the spirit of ease and lightness, and brings laughter and light into the hearts of beer and wine lovers alike,” said Spencer Nix, CEO and founder of Reformation Brewery. “Whether it’s something we cultivate within, or keep close to us through friends and family, a carefree, quirky spirit and an easy laugh is something we can all savor in life.”
