#144 | The story of Heist Brew Co

Brewers Journal Podcast

Sheffield is one of the UK’s great beer cities. It’s a haven for great breweries, great beer and great people. Not to mention a wealth of brilliant places to enjoy these in.

One such spot is Heist Brew Co. Founded by Dan Hunt and Adam France, Heist started brewing in a little village called Clowne in 2018 when the duo added a brewery to their craft beer bar and bottleshop.

Learning the skill of brewing from collaborations and close friends within the industry the team decided to give it a go themselves and quickly built a reputation for a wide variety of beers and styles.

A move to a big city was inevitable, and with Adam originally from Sheffield and Dan falling in love with the city after moving from his home town, the beer capital and steel city it was.

Opening their new Sheffield site in August 2021, Heist has gone from strength to strength brewing hundreds of different beers on site, and working on countless collaborations across the globe.

A destination venue for the good people of Sheffield and beyond, Heist Brew Co’s taproom is a go-to spot for great beer and a great time.

We spoke to co-founder Dan about the growth of the brewery, its Sheffield home, the challenges they’ve faced along the way and importantly, the exciting road ahead.
