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.

Old rating from 09-08-15 - On cask at the Apple & Pears Tap House in Jersey. Pours a amber colour with a thin white head. Aromas of fruit. Tastes of rye, nuts, caramel & fruits. Feels a good balance between the NZ hops, malt & bitterness. One I'd have a second off.

Golden with a lasting just off white head that thins to a swirl in time.
