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.

On gravity at the Three Tuns Beer Festival, Bristol 2/07/10. Deep gold with a slight, white head. Some citrus and floral notes battered into submission by buttery malts. Not for me.

cask at Guildford Arms - Pours golden with a lasting white head and smells of citrus, bread, and pale malt. The flavor is of sweet, bready malt with mild bitterness. It’s creamy and pretty average, but hey, it has a funny name.
