The Tring Brewery was founded in 1992 and after a 'brewing drought' of over fifty years it once again brought the traditional art of brewing back to the picturesque West Hertforshire market town of Tring.

Started by Richard Shardlow, an experienced brewer having worked for Greene King, Ruddles and Devenish, the brewery was recently joined by Andrew Jackson from Whitbread who has both a brewing research and retail background.

The Tring Brewery Company has enjoyed increasing success over the past years through its reputation for high and consistent product quality forged through a commitment to the art of traditional brewing with only the finest ingredients.

Of equal importance to the brewery is a belief in providing excellent customer service, which can only exist through a motivated sales team and efficient brewing department which is headed by Barry Phipp.

Tring Brewery's ales are prepared by the traditional method, using malted barley, hops, water and yeast. The finest ingredients, most of which are home grown, include hops from Kent and Worcestershire and malted barley from Suffolk. This in combination with Tring's ideal hard water, provides the perfect formula for classic ales.

The passion of the directors to exceed customers expectations through a commitment to brewing excellence does not end with the Tring Brewery Company. The brewery's parent company, Brewing Design Services, has for twenty five years been designing and building microbreweries, pub-breweries and restaurant-breweries all over the globe.

Tring Brewery Company's Legendary Beer from Hertfordshire is themed around intriguing ghostly tales, myths and even sayings from the rich history of the county. Supplying three excellent beers all year round, several others are included as part of the promotional calendar.
