Mad Squirrel Tap & Bottle Shop, Chesham (Mad Squirrel Tap)

Micropub and beer shop.

Established in 2013 as the first of six (and counting) taprooms for Mad Squirrel Brewery. The building is right on the Market Square and, although its previous incarnation was an Italian delicatessen, it was once a pub called the Globe, so this marks a welcome return to ‘pub' use. It is better classified as a micropub and beer shop (as reflected in the opening hours), selling an excellent range of canned beers, wines and spirits, supplemented by a neat little bar selling draught Mad Squirrel beers and cider (also available for take-out). Beers are served from a tiled wall behind the bar with 10 taps (2 cask ales, 6 craft keg beers, 1 sparkling cider, 1 still cider) all dispensed via an air compressor. Look out for live music nights. On Sundays all cask ale is £3.50 a pint.
