ToadFest, Tring Brewery’s 3rd annual charity beer festival, was held on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, at the brewery. The event welcomed over 300 guests for an open-tap experience featuring more than 15 Tring ales on cask and keg as part of an ‘all-inclusive’ beer offer. 

Live music was provided by the Tring-based band ‘The Elastic Cats’, fronted by Tring Brewery’s drayman Tom, who played indie and rock hits. Attendees also had the option to purchase beer-steeped BBQ burgers crafted by Jelley’s Meats, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices available.  

All profits from ToadFest will go to The Repair Shed, Tring Brewery’s chosen charity for 2025, this year’s returning annual ToadFest raised a whopping £4,363.077.  

Every penny raised will be donated to Community Action Dacorum, who run The Repair Shed as a community resource. This significant amount will go directly towards preventing social isolation amongst older men, referred to as ‘Shedders’, in The Repair Shed’s various locations throughout Dacorum.  

Tring Brewery extends their thanks to the local community who attended. Thanks to Jelley’s Meats for the burgers, and The Elastic Cats for their music, all of whom contributed to making the day a great success.
