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.

Last sellable pint out of the cask; 23rd September 2021. Hand-pulled in the Crown Inn, Oakengates Shrophire. Only paid for a half! Dark copper/bronze body, white head. Malty front to both the nose and taste, some caramel sweetness in the flavour, balanced out by some hop bitterness.

Tasting at Chez Cloin. Thanks to Cloin, hand pour. Clear gold beer, a few white bubbles. Light palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Plenty of decent marmalade hops, trace of lemon. Some peel bitterness on the end. Decent.

Growler shared in HW - cheers to Cloin. Pours clear copper with a small, bubbly head. So so, bit of English yeast, strong leafy bitterness, grass, sun-kissed grains. Light bodied, subtle carbonation, leafy bitter finish.
