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 cask at Nag’s Head, Reading] Deep gold with a slight, dissipating white head. Big wafts of fresh bread in the aroma and first taste promised much, but it strangely turned into a very average golden ale with weak, watery, lemon and grass flavours. Inoffensive but instantly forgettable.
