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.

Welcome back to another podcast from the Randalstown Hoops were we look back as Celtic restored their 10-point lead at the top of the table after overcoming Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Home manager Brendan Rodgers had changed to three at the back to allow Leigh Griffiths to play alongside Moussa Dembele up front. But Inverness kept them at bay until Scott Sinclair pounced to fire home after the break. Griffiths tapped in before Caley Thistle's Greg Tansey was sent off and Tom Rogic blasted home the third. That second yellow card, which came moments after the second goal, well and truly ended Caley Thistle's hopes of frustrating Celtic for a second time this season. And Celtic, whose only dropped points this season came at Caledonian Stadium, cruised to a sixth straight domestic clean sheet to stretch their lead over Aberdeen, who have also played one game more than the reigning champions. Celtic kept their Champions League hopes alive by battling back to draw with Borussia Monchengladbach. Scott Sinclair curled a shot against the post for the visitors before Lars Stindl volleyed Gladbach ahead. Andre Hahn fired off the crossbar as the hosts pressed for a second and Celtic's Moussa Dembele drew a save from goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Dembele was then fouled by Julian Korb, who was sent off, and the striker converted the resulting penalty. Brendan Rodgers' side, who face Barcelona in Glasgow on 23 November, move on to two points at the bottom of Group C, trailing Gladbach by two points and final group opponents Manchester City by five. We here from an old interview from Lubo Moravcik where he talks about playing in oldco games .However, his arrival in Scotland back in November 1998 may have been greeted with a mixture of scorn and ignorance by the overwhelming majority of the Scottish media, but when he left in June 2002, it was to universal acclaim. Last off all this week we have a 20 min interview from Celtic legend The The Quiet Assassin David Hay who looks back at his time with Celtic and Scotland .

Welcome back to another weekend podcast from the Randalstown Hoops were we look back at Celtic's 4-0 win over Ross County at the Global Energy Stadium. Brendan Rodgers made wholesale changes to the team which booked their place in the Betfred Cup final against Aberdeen with a 1-0 win over Newco last Sunday. Those players drafted in went out to impress from the start and winger Patrick Roberts scored in the third minute with a fine drive, although County did fashion several chances themselves. Indeed, Staggies defender Andrew Davies hit the post with a header after the break but in the 83rd minute midfielder Stuart Armstrong clinched the points with a fine finish before substitutes Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele added further goals in added time.The Hoops extended their unbeaten domestic run to 13 games and go further clear of Aberdeen, whom they visit on Saturday. County, meanwhile, have had gone eight games without a win although boss Jim McIntyre will take some heart from battling performance before the late collapse. Rodgers made eight changes to the side which started against the Light Blues at Hampden. Emilio Izaguirre, Cristian Gamboa, Armstrong, Callum McGregor, Roberts, Ryan Christie, Liam Henderson and Leigh Griffiths all came into the side. Celtic moved nine points clear at the top of the Premiership after beating Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Tom Rogic's controlled half-volley put the reigning champions ahead midway through the first half. Dons goalkeeper Joe Lewis denied Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele and Rogic as the visitors pressed for a second after the interval. Having struggled to create, Aberdeen had a late flurry and Craig Gordon prevented an Erik Sviatchenko own goal.Two victories over Celtic at Pittodrie last season had kept the Dons close to Ronny Deila's team until the last few weeks of the season. But Derek McInnes' men drop from second to fourth in a tight table having played a game more than Celtic, who they meet in next month's Scottish League Cup final. We all so hear from brendan rodgers post match interview where he talks to Sky Sports about the game . Our Featured games this week we look back at 3 games from the the past. 1986-05-03: St. Mirren 0-5 Celtic Celtic snatch the championship by edging out Heart of Midlothian on the last day of the campaign. The margin was on goal difference, as Celtic beat St Mirren 5-0 at Love Street and Hearts fall to two late goals from Dundee at Dens Park. 1988-05-14: Celtc 2-1 Dundee Utd, Scottish Cup Final Difficult to begin to understand the atmosphere that surrounded this game. For the Celtic players, it was a chance to seal a memorable double for the club in our Centenary Season having wrapped up the league earlier on. For Dundee Utd, it was a chance to finally break their hoodoo in the Scottish Cup having lost countless number of finals to date (inc the previous cup final in 1987 by St Mirren). Despite being league winners, this was not going to be an easy game for Celtic, and Dundee Utd under the legendary Jim McLean were a very good and entertaining side with some quality players. 1991-03-17: Celtic 2-0 Rangers, Scottish Cup, St Patrick's Day massacre. Cracking win for Celtic after seeing us lose a man first (Peter Grant red card). Huns lost three players and a great morale boosting win saw us KO the huns. First half goals from Gerry Creaney & Shug (deflected free-kick) sealed the win, and no amount of posturing from the Huns could get them near us. Peter Grant made an ass of himself by getting sent off stupidly. He conceded a free-kick outside our box (first yellow) and then charged the free-kick down (second yellow) to get himself a red! Thankfully we survived. Great win as the support sang "Happy Birthday St Patrick" all day long.. Wonderful.

Welcome back to another podcast from the Randalstown Hoops where we look back as Brendan Rodgers' side had the better of the Hampden match with Scott Sinclair, Tom Rogic, Dembele and Stuart Armstrong drawing saves from Matt Gilks. Erik Sviatchenko had a goal disallowed for Celtic and Sinclair's free-kick was touched on to the bar by Gilks. But there was to be a winner, Dembele's heel converting Leigh Griffiths' cross.Newco, 5-1 losers at Celtic Park last month, were restricted to counter-attacks, the best of which ended with Jason Holt's shot being blocked well by Jozo Simunovic. Celtic will return to Hampden to face the Dons on Sunday 27 November. We all so hear from brendan rodgers post match interview where he talks to Bt Sports about the game. . Our Featured player this week is Henrik Larsson where we look back at his time with Celtic . Henrik Larsson is undeniably one of the most wonderful footballers to have ever graced Scottish football, and is a Celtic legend. Born in Helsingborg, Larsson was the son of a Swedish mother and a father from the the Cape Verde islands, the blend giving him that beloved dirty blonde dreadlocks look. His early years were tough, and he might have ended up following a different path when one of his former teachers warned him about becoming a footballer. On leaving school he ended up in a job as a fruit-packer, and life could have been so more ordinary. Football was his saviour, and from an early age he had thrown himself into the game with his local youth. He moved onto playing for Helsingborg, where he helped the side to promotion and a strong position up the league table. He scored a phenomenal 34 goals in 31 games. His good form led to interest from abroad and a move to Feyenoord should have been a godsend. It turned out to be a frustrating time. Signed originally by future Celtic manager Wim Jansen, after just two months there was a change in management, and Jansen's successor just did not utilise Larsson properly. Playing Larsson in different positions and then substituting him repeatedly after just 60 minutes in games was not helping Larsson's development. This fostered a poor working relationship, and Larsson was being hindered. Having indicated a wish to move on, the situation became farcical when Larsson was left to go to court to force his club to allow him to exit as entitled to by his contracts subject to minimum fees being paid. Not an easy time. The only respite was a wonderful summer with the Swedish national side who reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in 1994, with Larsson one of the heroes. Former manager Wim Jansen hadn't forgotten him, and invited him to Celtic. Was it fate? As Larsson was to put it: “It’s hard to say no. You have to say yeah.” Feyenoord's loss was to become Celtic’s gain.
