Reformation Welcomes Brewing Operations Manager

WOODSTOCK, GA -- A new face has joined the team at Reformation Brewery. Matt Tucker has been brought on to serve as brewing operations manager for the Woodstock-based company.

He comes to Reformation Brewery from Jdub’s Brewing Company in Sarasota, Florida, and brings expertise from his position as head brewer and director of brewing operations along with a passion for the industry.

Prior to Jdub’s, Tucker helped grow the reputation of Tampa-based Cigar City Brewing, where he worked as packaging and production manager. He then led the popular Cigar City Brewpub as head brewer, overseeing all aspects of production from grain to glass.

Prior to becoming a professional brewer, Tucker won several awards as a home and production brewer, including two national Homebrew Competition gold medals, “Florida Home Brewer of the Year” in 2012 and BOS Best Florida Beer Competition for Cigar City Brewing’s Vienna Lager in 2013.

"We are excited to bring Matt on board at such an exciting time for our organization," said Nick Downs, brewmaster and co-founder of Reformation. "With his experience in both a large production brewery and brewpub, we’re looking forward to growing together in 2018. With a new location opening up this spring in downtown Woodstock, Matt will have a chance to make his mark in the heart of our community.”

Tucker joins the Reformation team as the company plans for more growth and expansion in the year ahead. The brewery recently announced the opening of its second location in historic downtown Woodstock next spring, featuring a multipurpose green space and research and development facility.
