Well that only took a freakin’ month and a half. At any rate, beercaftsite.com is live again, thanks to the efforts of Patrick Hughes, our tech guy.

Look for exciting and introspective beer news, commentary and general curmudgeonliness semidaily here at beercraftsite.com.

My weekend beverages of choice turned out to be good ol’ Long Trail Pale Ale, but I also tried the Sam Adams Noble Pils. It’s grassy, more of a North German style (think Jever) than a pils with that sharply bitter Czech bite. It would be almost asking too much for this beer to offer thrills, but it’s solid and accessible, making it an easy entry point to craft beer for folks more used to American light lagers. The hops may be noble, but as far as flavor goes, t merits a minor dukedom at best.
