BUY ME A PINT
A re-visit to the areas of Ilkeston, Heanor and Langley Mill in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Visited here at the start of November 2023 following near the same route with two extra pub additions. My day started with Ilkeston visiting Burnt Pig, Gladstonian, The Crafty One and Stanton Cask. Headed out next towards Heanor visiting Marlpool Ale House on the way with The Angry Bee, The Crafty Tap, Redemption Ale House, Hop Wright Inn and the new addition of Dead Man’s Tankard. Onto Loscoe to the Tip Inn and finishing in Langley Mill visiting Railway Tavern, The Bunny Hop and Inn the Middle. My blog covers the two new pubs visited today “Dead Man’s Tankard” and “Inn the Middle” with the previous blog linked below.

Dead Man’s Tankard
My first new visit today is in Heanor to “Dead Man’s Tankard”. This opened at the back end of 2023 shortly after my last visit. This is located along a Victorian Terrace, converted from the small shop. A very warm welcome in here and a very busy pub which was great to see for a new venue. Great to see them supporting local businesses as well by showcasing local craft artists.
A great line up of ales on the bar, with there being 4 hand pull cask ales with a 5th dispensed direct from the barrel. I went with “Screech Owl” from Nottingham based Castle Rock Brewery. A delicious 5.5% American Pale Ale and great to see it dispensed direct from the barrel.
Inn the Middle
My second new visit of the day is to “Inn The Middle” located in Langley Mill. This is at the opposite side of the Railway Station to The Bunny Hop and The Railway Tavern. A great busy local pub which is great to see. Has music events on regularly supporting local artists.
A choice of 4 cask beers on the bar today with a great coming soon line up. I went with “Mercia” from Derby Brewing Company, a great tasting English IPA with lots of flavour. Nice to see Bass served as well, a beer you don’t see very often anymore.
The Railway Tavern was featured in my blog starting at Langley Mill and heading back into Nottingham via Eastwood, Giltbrook and Kimberley. CLICK HERE to read it.
