Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!

Everyone has Christmas traditions and we're no different at Daftaboutcraft! It's our annual Christmas bonus episode where we enjoy pairing cheese and beers - as well having a good old chimwag about the past 12 months.

This year the beer takes centre stage with special releases from Fuller's Brewery in the shape of their 180th anniversary porter, plus this year's three barley wines from Thomas Hardy Ales.

So join us for one last time in 2025 as Dave B and Dave D see out the year in style!

We're delighted to be backed by Craft Brew Festival, curators of a unique beer festival tour across Britain, and Mosaic Board Print, manufacturers of epic beermats.

Christmas is fast approaching and our sack is full of craft beer goodies as Dave B and Dave D bring episode 78 to you!

One of the staples of the podcast since it started has been Brew To Me, but we're going to mix it up a little bit and alternate this feature with What's In The Fridge? This new segment will give us a chance to get through some of those beers lurking in the depths of the Daftaboutcraft vault but also test our tasting skills as we'll be presented with them blindly and have to do our very to work out what it is we're drinking.

We're joined by Edd Simpson, managing director of Ossett Brewery and SALT for this episode's interview. The main topic of discussion is Ossett's tremendous Rat range of beers, but there is plenty more to talk about as well (plus get your ears ready for the most seductive review of a beer you might have ever heard!)

Tried and Tested takes in our most recent favourite beers, and we're heading to Bristol via Wiper And True to taste a beer they recently contract brewed with hops grown by care home residents.

All this and more on the latest episode of Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast.

Winter is fast approaching and here's another episode of Daftaboutcraft to keep you warm!

Tun Brewing Company may not have been going for long, but they have already produced award-winning beer, and founder Richard tells us all about how Tun came to be in a fascinating chat.

Oktoberfest may be winding down now, but there's still plenty of Festbiers around so we roadtest a handful to see if craft can compete with the original German examples.

Brew To Me features more Tun, this time Ten Tun Taphouse in Alton, Hampshire, courtesy of Dave B, while Dave D is drinking something bespoke, from Bespoke Brewery in Gloucestershire, to be precise.

Pints of View returns with a discussion on going out, is it still worth it?
