Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!

We're off on our summer hols to an often overlooked part of the United Kingdom when it comes to craft beer. Actually, we don't leave South Staffordshire or Suffolk, but we - that's Dave B and Dave D - track down six breweries from Northern Ireland we haven't had beers from before as we present our latest Brew To Me special.
We sample delights from Lacada Brewery, a community-owned co-operative from Portrush, Belfast-based Ormeau Brewing Co and Out Of Office Brewing, Spadetown Brewery in Lurgan, the innovative Our Brewery, a branch of equipment and ingredient supplier Ger 'Er Brewed, and McCrackens Brewery in Randalstown.
It's a fascinating insight into names that often don't appear in the spotlight as all six are either nano or micro operations. We are joined by a representative from each brewery to talk us through their business, how and why they started and the beers they produce as we unearth some exceptional creations.
The podcast is sponsored by online bottle shop Hops At Home, and Andy Marsh appears on most episodes with news on his latest stock and an offer for you to take advantage of.
Daftaboutcraft is produced by us two guys, called Dave. We're massive fans of the craft beer scene and we release a new episode every three weeks. Check us out on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook too!

Daftaboutcraft - Craft Beer Podcast - Episode 50 (September 4, 2023)

Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!

We've reached our half-century and we've got a packed episode in (mini) celebration!
We kick off in traditional style with Brew To Me, the feature that has become a firm favourite with us - Dave B and Dave D. This is where we crack open a beer from a brewery that is new to us. This time we shine the spotlight on St Ives Brewery and we stay at the seaside - quite literally as you will hear - with Lost Pier Brewery. Callum and Dan join us to give some tremendous insight and leave us wanting more of their beer.
Our main chat this time is with Rhys Smith, head brewer at Caps Off Brewery in County Durham. Dave D met Rhys at a beer festival during the summer and just had to get him on to the podcast to find out more about him, the beers he makes and his views on the craft beer scene.
The Brewer's Wife - aka Sam from the Copper Beech Brewing Company - drops in to tell us what has been happening with the brewery from her perspective, and there is an amusing tale to tell.
Tried and Tested is the part of the podcast where we talk about the beers we've enjoyed most since our last episode, and this time we highlight memorable experiences with Trillium Brewing from the US and Missing Link Brewing from Sussex.
The podcast is sponsored by online bottle shop Hops At Home, and Andy Marsh appears on each episode with news on his latest stock and an offer for you to take advantage of. In this episode find out how to grab ten per cent off your first order!
