Daftaboutcraft - Craft Beer Podcast - Episode 49 - Northern Ireland Special (August 14, 2023)

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!
