Hogan Sampling		03 Oct 2026	Presented with a lasting head and lacing on this autumn ale brewed strictly between September and November to commemorate the brave lads of the Battle of Britain by the Tring Brewery Company who got their skates in gear way back in 1992, reviving the traditional art of boiling the copper in the picturesque market town of Tring, West Hertfordshire, and a patch that had been drier than a baker's oven for over 50 years! By 2010 they shifted their whole kit and caboodle to their current home at Dunsley Farm, London Road in Tring. They brew using local UK barley and chalk-filtered water pumped straight out of the Chiltern Hills to ensure every drop is clean as a newly minted sovereign. A dry hoppy first hit. A lightly fruited bitterness rising. British malted barley in on the mix and hitting that Chiltern liquor, with a toasty, bready and sweet biscuity flavouring. A fruity hoppy bitterness winning over with no hedgerow weeds but a proper dollop of the finest Mount Hood hops lending a herbal and slightly spicy character. Mixed with the malt, the hops unleashing for me a courageous, floral and punchy hop aroma right into my whistle. In sliding down, a lingering peppery hint on the back of my throat. Served with a fine 'twang' to it.
