It's Christmas! And with the festive season comes what has become a Daftaboutcraft tradition, so we're pairing up another six beers with six cheeses in a bid to find the perfect taste sensation.
But that's just part of this bumper episode as we're also shining the spotlight on new York-based nano operation Trig Brewery, whose webshop has gone live in the last few days. We talk to founder Patrick, find out what made him want to start a brewery in these testing times and how he hopes the year ahead will pan out.
The Brewer's Wife isn't telling the stories this time, but rather listening to a story involving her husband Dan from Copper Beech Brewing Company as she finds out about a crunching experience that left a fair few scratches and dents.
In Brew To Me, we're sampling beers for the first time from the Mysterious Brewing Company in Reading and Two Towns Down Brewing from Paisley.
All this and plenty more, including what we can expect from the craft beer scene in 2024 as we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
We are 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!

We are joined by Craig and Gareth from Worcestershire's 3 Words Brewing for an in-depth chat about a hobby that turned into a business and is all about brewing harder to find craft beer styles.

Sam, The Brewer's Wife from Copper Beech Brewing Company is back to give her alternative insight into the world of craft beer, and this time the story involves an aeroplane that didn't always look like an aeroplane!

Daftaboutcraft - Craft Beer Podcast - Episode 55 (January 24, 2024)

Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!

Welcome to our first episode of the new year! We're back (that's us, Dave B and Dave D) with a whole raft of craft beer goodies for you.
We chew the fat with Dan Wright from Hideaway Brewing Company, one of six breweries in Salford, and he tells us 'it's all about people' as we discuss the realities of the beer industry at a time when breweries are closing on what seems a daily basis.
Just because it's January doesn't mean we're not drinking - far from it. We're embracing Tryanuary rather than Dryanuary, and that means we're turning our attention to DMC Brewery in Leeds and Old Tree Brewery in Sussex to try some alcoholic ginger beer and some Kombucha - plus an idea of where to go if you want to expand your craft beer horizons with a city break.
The Brewer's Wife - aka Sam from Copper Beech Brewing Company - is here to reflect on the last 12 months of life at the sharp end, highlighting the importance of stopping to appreciate what has been achieved and revealing her favourite moments from 2024. And, while we're in reflective mood, we've got some big brewing numbers for you too. Get ready for all the stats - litres of beer made, pints sold, collabs arranged and more!
All that and plenty of other features, including Brew To Me where we put the spotlight on 2023 startup Dungeon Brewing from Derbyshire and a beer produced in Belgium especially for Vespers bar in Bury St Edmunds.
We are 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.
