Description
The company was started by Richard Shardlow in 1992, who had previous experience with Greene King, Ruddles and Devenish. Andrew Jackson, formerly of Whitbread, started as joint director in 2000.
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.

8/1/2022. Bottle sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of deep roasted malts, dark chocolate, camp coffee, cocoa, hint of citrus and orange chocolate. Moderate sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Pretty decent.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; malty aroma; thin in the mouth with a biscuity malt taste; and a light twiggy bitterness to finish. An unexciting bitter.

Half-pint, on tap at The Old Fountain. Shared with Finn. Next-to-clear copper coloured body, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Smells inviting with caramel malts and ripe fruits. Malt-fruity flavoured, moments of caramel, earth, and leafy hops. Ends dry with a bittersweet bite. Nice. (London 16.11.2021).
