Daftaboutcraft - Craft Beer Podcast - Episode 11 (March 29, 2021) Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

It's another jam-packed episode as we speak to Grant and Larissa, aka Mad Yank Brewery from Middlesex. This husband and wife team are putting out some very exciting and different beers and have lots of big plans for 2021.
Then for something completely different, we talked to the cast of Birchall's Pints, aka Someguyswithacamera. The guys are creating a craft beer mini-series that will be available on Amazon Prime next year!
If that's not enough there's all our regular features including our latest drink-along in association with Real Ale plus Brew To Me featuring Nightjar and Brew Toon. Hype or Tripe is also a bit different this episode - spoiler, it's one for fans of custard as Cameron from Turning Point pops in to help us out.
All this and more in the latest episode of Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast - an exploration of the wonderful and creative world of craft beer.
We are two guys, called Dave. We release a new episode every three weeks and are happily sponsored by our good friends at Real Ale - the independent bottle shop with stores in Twickenham, Maida Vale and Notting Hill and online at realale.com.

On episode ten we were joined by husband and wife team Dan and Sam from the excellent Worcestershire-based Copper Beech Brewing Company. We had such a great evening chatting away with them that we wanted to share some more of the audio from the conversation, so we present a bonus episode with much more from this vibrant start-up nano brewery that we can see going from strength to strength.
For now, Copper Beech beers are available only locally - their webshop opens for seven days once a month - but hopefully it won't be too long before you can get hold of their beers nationally. Watch this space and keep an eye on their website for all the latest news and developments at https://www.copperbeechbrewco.co.uk/

We are joined by Andy, marketing guru at the Scottish sour titans Vault City who lets us know what the brewery has been been up to recently and what the future will hopefully hold.
Two beers are roadtested in Hype or Tripe - will Deya's first Tipa Routine Bites Hard or the latest version of Cloudwater's Chubbles reign supreme?

Many of you will have seen the latest release of Putty from Cornish maestros Verdant, so we put the ultimate Hype Or Tripe candidate to the test in our regular feature to find out whether we think it hits the mark.

We thought we packed a lot into episode five, but we're raising the bar again as we present our final episode of 2020 (or is it? Watch for an out-takes special before Christmas!).
This time Dave D taste tests a beer from the Tenby Brewing Company in Pembrokeshire, while Dave B also goes to the seaside, sampling the work of the award-winning Padstow Brewing Company. There's no Supermarket Sweep this month, but we switch it up and put two DDH 6.5% pales from Pomona Island head to head in our new Blind Leading The Blind feature, while we try out Siren's Trillionaire in Hype Or Tripe to see if it lives up to its lofty billing.
As if that weren't enough, we're joined by one of the biggest names in the craft industry, with brewer Henok Fentie from Swedish giants Omnipollo dropping in for a chat.
