| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Beer Co. - Jambo! | 8.50 | | Although I thought I was ordering a cask beer, this had a good carbonation and may have been from a keg of some kind. Pitch black and obviously strong – this is an Imperial Stout. A hint of sourness, plenty of chocolate tastes and masses of raspberry flavouring. Superb. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Berkhopsted (2017) | 4.20 | | A hazy, golden Green Hop beer. Only my second of such beers this season. Very fresh. An unusual but not unpleasant taste. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Hopfest | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Mr. Squirrel | 4.00 | Not Tried |
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anarchy - Quiet Riot | 6.60 | | South Pacific IPA with an IBU of 90. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Mister Squirrel (superseded by 4% version) | 4.30 | | Described as a premium bitter. Seems reasonable. |

The pub is found in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5 1ES.
A new venture for Red Squirrel Brewery, established in 2013. The building is right on the Market Square and was earlier a pub called the Globe; and this marks a welcome return to ‘pub’ use for the premises. Actually, it is not really a pub at all but a beer shop, selling an excellent range of bottled beers, supplemented by a neat little bar selling draught Red Squirrel beers, guests and cider. Keeps more like shop (not pub) hours. Beers are served from a tiled wall behind the bar with 10 taps (4 cask ales, 4 craft keg beers, 1 sparkling cider, 1 still cider) all dispensed via an air compressor. Re-named Mad Squirrel from Red Squirrel when the brewery changed names.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 6 of them.
