The Hop Tap has risen from the ashes of a much-loved micropub, the Monks Inn, in Hemel Hempstead's town centre. It has its own distinctive style and identity, while seeking to bring the same standard of quality and variety of choice to local real ale drinkers. Three changing ales on handpump and another on gravity complement the house beer, Jupiter IPA. Real ciders come from one handpump and boxes. The proprietors also run the Hops & Apples beer shop elsewhere in town, which enables them to offer an enticing range of bottles and cans to enjoy on the premises or take away.
