The Beercraft Blog gets a new lease on life.

Bruce (my commercial brewer partner) and myself will now be writing a bimonthly column about beer in Rochester, New York's Freetime Magazine. I'll reprint the columns here.

Also, the website itself will be live again soon. I've been taking a class on web programming, and the new site will feature a searchable database of the beers we've reviewed.

In the meantime, I've learned a few truths about specialty holiday ales, one of which is that they tend to taste like a fermented Christmas tree. Look for more discusisions of Holiday beers in a week or so, when I publish the first Beercraft column. -Mark
