Real ale aficionados have two new Derbyshire champions - and a new bar in which to taste its finest creations.

Entrepreneurs Adam France and Dan Hunt quit their corporate jobs last year to pursue their new beer export business.

And, as part of their plan, they have just opened Heist - a new ‘craft bar’ in Clowne.

“I actually used to manage Dan at a call centre,” says Adam.

“We’d grown a bit tired of working for other people and wanted to do something we were passionate about.

“It has been a dream of ours to have our own business.”

After losing touch, the pair reconnected when Dan set up his own craft beer export business.

Adam then asked to get involved and they began working together last May.
