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!
