Beers



★ 'Tennent's Lager' is Scotland's best-selling lager. The lager was first brewed in 1885 by Hugh Tennent and in 1893 it won the highest award at the Chicago World's Fair. Tennent's was the first lager to be brewed in Scotland. Tennent's Lager was first sold in light blue cans which featured "lager lovelies", portraits of semi-nude women covering almost half of the can. This was abandoned in the early 90s in favour of yellow and red cans which had a copper inner lining giving the beer a coppery taste. Modern cans are silver, yellow and red and lack this distinctive copper taste. Cans that feature the lager luvlies are now considered collector's items.

★ 'Tennent's Stout' is a stout similar to Guinness.

★ 'Tennent's Super' has a higher percentage of alcohol by volume than Tennent's Lager. Very popular amongst homeless people in the uk due to its cheapness and high alcohol content, sometimes refered to as "tramp juice".

★ 'Tennent's Special'

★ 'Tennent's Velvet'

★ 'Sweetheart Stout'

★ 'Versa', a smooth lager aimed at 25+ drinkers.
The brewery can be found on Duke street in Glasgow.
