During this episode of Dad Diaries we reveal why we haven’t had an episode for a while (Ash has news…!) and Thomas gets the Rich-reading-children’s-books treatment. We of course chat all things being a dad with a beer.

In this special episode of Your Life in Beer, Ash and Rich discuss new year resolutions over can of low alcohol beer!

If you are, or are not, doing dry January this year please still support independent breweries and shops by buying beer (alcohol free or not) this month as you usually would.

Check to see if a brewery is independent by searching on Indiebeer.uk
