Closed brewpub
Montague Arms, 289 Queens Road SE15 2PA
First sold beer: June 2015
Ceased brewing: by end 2015
The landmark Montague Arms, a big roadside pub between New Cross and Peckham which was once renowned as a music venue, was rescued from potential closure in 2014. Brewing equipment was delivered in May 2015 and the first beers were sold shortly afterwards, under the name Monkey Chews after a bar previously run by owner Noel Gale. The experiment proved short-lived, with no house beer appearing beyond the end of that year. The pub closed in January 2018, and the brewhouse had been removed when it reopened under new ownership a few months later. It closed again in July 2019, though may reopen under yet another new owner in 2020.
