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.

Gravity cask at Whitfest 2025. A really lovely pint, flavour, mouth feel and a richness that created a brilliant package. It was so good I had to have another one.

House bitter at my village pub and a classic example of a true English Bitter. Gorgeous colour in the glass and a fine, yet simple head. Lots going on in the mouth, with plenty of malt and bittering hope, plus the great house yeast. And all this with a sensible abv. I could drink this all night and that's the point.
