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.

Bottle from Viti’s, Vancouver, at 4.5% ABV, bb 03/12/11
Beautiful golden color, hazy; small head. The aroma is malty, breadish, with notes of toffee, very nice. Lean body, dry mouthfeel, with a very good, toffeish, malt flavor; strong hopping, with a lot of hop oils, and with a citrusy bite, more English than Cascade-like. Strong bitterness and long final.
Excellent, humble, very pleasant.

Bottle from Viti’s, Vancouver; bb 03/02/12
Beautiful dark amber color, bright; medium sized compact head. The aroma has caramel, slightly oxidized malts, some vegetables. Some caramel and malt flavor, again with traces of vegetables; but the lean body and moderate sweetness identify this as a Strong Ale but not as a Barley Wine; although the alcohol content is not extreme, it can be clearly perceived. Correct bitterness, the final is also a bit nutty.
Pleasant brew, with no excitement though.
