    First, thanks for your patience. As many of you know we've been experiencing nightly outages since around May 1. It's been very frustrating, but tonight we fixed that and then some.
    • Migration to our new scalable, high-availability, fully-managed cloud-based hosting infrastructure is now complete.
    • Connections to the site are now encrypted using SSL (https).
    • We've applied a new responsive design to the site. It's not perfect, but we dig it and readability on mobile devices is vastly improved.
    @Mike and I plan on tweaking things here and there, and have a few bugs to fix, but going forward our efforts will be shifting toward development of the next version of BeerAdvocate.

    That's it for now. I'm off to grab a beer ...

    Updates:
    • This morning we enabled HTTP 2.0 support to nearly double the speed of loading assets over fast / SSL connections.
    • We're also working on fixing some bugs and adjusting some style/color items for better readability.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can we request a desktop view on mobile?

    You can't, nor do we have plans to support this.

    I have feedback on the new website design. Where can I post it?

    I'll update this post as needed, and thanks to everyone for the awesome feedback so far.
