Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!

Longtime listeners will know that as much both Daves love beer, they also love cheese! Each year there has been a special bonus cheese and beer episode for Christmas, but this year is definitely the best yet!

Andy from The Courtyard Dairy in Settle, on the borders of the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, joins us to talk through some wonderful British cheeses, and discusses the type of beers that work best with them.

Andy's knowledge is second to none, and the cheeses are also awesome, so if you're after for some ideas on what to eat and drink to help you be merry this Christmas, give this a listen!

Ho ho ho! It's time for your Christmas instalment of Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast!

Dave D and Dave B must have been good this year, as they finish on a high with some awesome beers courtesy of Oxfordshire-based Bman Brewery. Alex Berryman is the man behind the beer and tells us all about how Bman came to pass.

Brew To Me only has one beer, but it's a doozy, as Twisted Tree Brewery continue the Oxfordshire theme with a corking stout that both Daves sample.

Track Brewing Co has just celebrated its tenth birthday and marked the occasion with some collab beers. Two of the Dipas get the Hype or Tripe treatment, with mixed results.

Throw in some Tried and Tested action, Christmas chat and also a sneak preview of a December bonus episode and there's plenty to listen to while wrapping your presents!

In our latest bonus episode we chew the fat with Ben Balla-Muir, sales director for Only With Love Brewery in Lewes, East Sussex.

After a busy summer on the festival circuit, Only With Love are now in collab mode and also starting to gear up for dry January, which is anything but dry for them given their range of alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers, together with calorie-free sodas.

Ben tells us all about the brewery, his journey in the beer industry and discusses some of the biggest challenges he has faced in the workplace.
