Serlo - Ashover Brewery

A 4.4% pale ale from Ashover Brewery which gets its name from the Old Norse name Serlo a Teutonic word which means armour, arms, skill or device. Serlo de Pleshley was born in 1180 and was lord of the Manor for Ashover Derbyshire England. There's a whole host of rich history connecting rural villages and old money stretching from Whitby via the peak district to Agincourt in France woven around the village and its ancestors....
