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.

Cask handpull at The Market Porter. Diacetyl all over this, hits you on the aroma and in the flavour. Some biscuit kicks in eventually, but overall, pretty awful.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Beer 100 of the festival and when I could safely stop rating and enjoy myself. Gold, yes, some hop, a beer that is a tribute to the De Havilland Mosquito, the first model plane I made as a boy and still my favourite. Dullish golden beer, but with more hop than usual. Good stinging dry finish.

Cask-conditioned at the State Bar, Glasgow 2/07/09. Deep amber in colour with a decent white head. Sweetish malt aroma with a touch of earthiness and grassy hop. Flavour had a touch of caramel, bready malts and a pleasantly bitter finish. Good.
