Associated Venue: Tring Brewery
Established in 1992
The brewery is known in the Home Counties for its cask ales, of which various styles are brewed at their location on Dunsley Farm in Tring.
Tring is a long-established small brewery, opened in 1992 in the Hertfordshire town of the same name. It was founded by Richard Shardlow, a vastly experienced brewer who had worked for Greene King, Ruddles and Devenish. He was joined in 2000 by Andrew Jackson, who had worked for Whitbread on the sales side and he rapidly expanded Tring’s base.
In 2010, the brewery moved from a cramped site near the town centre and is now based on Dunsley Farm, part of the Rothschild estate, on the edge of Tring.
Tring's core range of brews are themed around local Hertfordshire folklore, tying a local connection to their product.

Cask at the White Horse, Hertford on 21st August 2025. Clear copper with shallow, yellowy white foam and full lacing. Hazelnut malt aroma. Rewardingly hoppy in-mouth with a lengthy, satisfyingly bitter, grassy finish. Smooth yet engaging mouthfeel, and a light to medium body. Superb.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; orchard fruit aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a taste of pear; then an autumnal fruity finish. Very drinkable.
