Miracles DO happen!

Found them!

I suppose that explains why I have not seen Alan in the brewpub for the past two weeks....he has been jacking the website! Good on him.

A miracle indeed!

I'm just happy that they're updated up to the current batch!

The old one reminded me of Dunder Mifflin's

Ugh. Better, but still bad

Disagree completely. The color scheme matches the brewery, and the design is simple and to the point. Almost all the basic information is right there for you (including directions), and, even better, the tap list is on the front page, which few places actually provide at a first glance.

All hail the Website God... he has spoken...

All seriousness though. This is an amazing site comparably. And considering the DIY aspect of HotD, you have to cut Alan some slack here. I mean, I'm not going to expect any crazy Motion/Flash graphics or HTML5.

However, the hours listed for the tasting room are way out of date.

EDIT: On a related, yet unrelated note... Do you think we have enough HotD threads going right now?

I have to agree the site is great. Now the only thing the rest of the country can complain about now (instead of the fact that the vintage list wasn't updated) is the fact that we can all get growlers of Adam for $15.

It has a guestbook. WOW. Talk about an homage to the past!

I think it does the trick. Much more content rich and useful than the other site and carries the brand a bit forward.

Found a z-index error where the pop-up beer labels end up behind that top slideshow (Sorry, I'm a web developer).

Oh fuck, sorry I let my opinion out. I'll try to keep it in check next time.

Roger that.

Can I just ask who chose the checkerboard js transition in the slideshow, over say...um maybe just a basic non-distracting dissolve?

And DIY...um the logo is just slightly complicated with the whole dog illustrations and the perfect typesetting. Hmm...about that.

I agree about the dissolve. I wasn't referring to their logo as far as DIY. Alan is very hands on DIY. Even from simple things like the hand made light fixtures in the tasting room. Did you ever follow HotD before 2010, before the tasting room opened?

Pretty cool new site - well done Alan and HotD crew! Personally though, I will miss the "classicness" and simplicity of the old site.

I'm curious to know why not all beers were included in the "Beers" section of the redesigned site. Dave and Eve are missing

Nah, not at all. I didn't even know they were in Portland prior to 2010. Makes sense.

It is kind of silly in 2012 to roll out a new website that doesn't have any sort of mobile option, however.

If you have ever gone to the bathroom either in the side alley or in the "bathroom" with the door that didn't shut and the stack of Malt Advocate magazines at the old HotD, you'd know what I am talking about when I mean DIY.

This made me laugh at those memories. Good times.

Looks and navigates great on the iPhone.

Sorry if I missed it in this thread... where do I find the date this bottle of Rose batch 34 was bottled? I'm about to open it, would like to add the info to my notes/review... Cheers!

I couldn't find a vintage guide for it on the new site. Rose hasn't been made since 2005. My guess is Alan won't include a vintage guide for this retired beer.

However!... Through very little detective work I was able to quickly read though some reviews on RateBeer and I saw ratings that stated they were Batch 34 from back in 2002.

Thanks man. Good idea, I should have thought of that. So this is officially the oldest beer I've ever had (about half gone now). Pretty cool.

Now if someone can just help these guys out!...
Oh, and this brewery could use an upgrade too.
