The Good Beer Guide is CAMRA’s seminal publication and the is the best-selling beer and pub guide, featuring 4,500 of the UK’s best pubs, including fourteen from the Mid-Chilterns branch.
This week’s Good Beer Guide showcase is a sombre one, as we lament the coming closure of one of the branch’s most acclaimed establishments – Monks Inn.
Monks Inn was opened in November of 2018, and has seen its fair share of memories both challenging (COVID pandemic/cost of living crisis) and joyful (Newcomer of the Year 2019, Overall Champion Pub of the Year 2020, Community Pub of the Year 2023).
Landlord Clint has helped turn an unassuming town centre betting shop into the beating heart of Hemel’s beer and cider scene, with countless special events and charity fundraisers along the way.
Yesterday, it was announced that Monks Inn will close doors on Sunday 14th of January.
Monks community and our extended group of CAMRA drinkers are gutted, though understanding that economic conditions are brutal for small businesses.
Please show your support for Monks (who have been published in every Good Beer Guide since becoming legible), and join us in raising a toast at the pub on January 14th; to Clint and his team!
