About
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.

Growler from the brewery. A clear reddy amber coloured pour with a reluctant beige head. Aroma is rich nutty malt, toffee notes, figgy fruits, raisin, hint of vanilla. Flavour is composed of layered malts, toffee, some twig, , light cake, faint leafy piney hops. Palate is semi sweet, lowish gently condition. Decent malty affair.

A good fruity, malty mild with a touch of toasty toffee and an earthy malt finish. Nice stuff.

Cask at 4% at the Hope Tap, Reading. Brown with no head and a middling fizz - good condition again. Sweet summer fruit up front - definite strawberry actually. A light woodiness and some creamy toffee follows. Maybe a little watery but drinkable and pretty pleasant.
