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....
Serlo's Fork is a possibly a fork-shaped piece of land owned by the family or equally it could refer to the shape made by the junction of the three parishes of Ashover, Beeley, and Darley, Interetsingly it could also refer to a mediaeval gallows provided by Serlo de Pleasley,
Either way its a great name for a Derbyshire ale brewed from Simcoe and Galaxy hops and rich in delicate floral hops with citrus overtones. Light, fragrant and thirst quenchingly moreish Serlo won the recent Battle of the Beers contest at the 2014 Market Hall Beer Festival at the Assembly Rooms in Chesterfield an award truly deserved.
