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.

50cl bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. Bright amber with a ring of white head; and the strong grapefruit aroma I associate with Cascade hops. Viscous and oily in texture, and full of resinous hops with a residual sweetness. Very assertive - I really like it, but I can see that others might not.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, london on 25th Oct 2009. Deep red/brown with virtually no head. Caramel malts in abundance with touches of banana and vinous aromas along with a little nuttiness that soon subsides into a generally sweet background with a few hop notes later. A refreshing drink but not a favourite; however it was well kept by the pub.

Cask-conditioned at the White Lion, Bristol 23/10/09. Deep brown with a slight, off-white head. Malty chocolate and earthy hop aroma. Flavour had some sweetness, tonnes more earthiness and a bitter finish. Good.
