It's unpasteurised which essentially means it's not pumped with preservatives and additives and it's fresh from the source, and the idea is you'd get less of a hangover drinking it. Some of my colleagues suggest the lager that we brew as an alternative, but if someone asks for a pint of Tennent's, a pint of T they get. I must have tried more than 400 different beers and a crisp pint of Tennent's is still up there. You don't work in the Citizen do you? Tried the "Tank Lager" a few weeks back. By far the best pint of T I've ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Back in the day Tennents had to fight and beat off the stiff competition that was McEwans Lager and Skol. Anyone who thinks Tennents is shite hasn't drunk enough of those 2 impostors. Kestrel and Harp were even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Most of the "Brewed under license in the UK" brands are made by the same companies turning out Inbev piss like Carling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Even when they stopped putting the lager lovelies on the cans they were still blue. Why have they gone to silver and yellow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I like a proper ale but there is absolutely f**k all wrong with the king of cooking lager, Tennents. I've been on the tour and imagine my surprise when I found out that the mighty Wellpark Brewery bashes out contract stuff like Stella, Budweiser and other stuff that the big boys can't as they've shut a load of breweries. One for the Tennents haters to chew over as they turn their noses up at the mighty T with their "premium" "superior" lager.......brewed by Tennents! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Last year my local Spar had a huge crate of Skol on special offer of about ten bob a can. It was the first time that I had seen it for years. Never bought any as I never really liked it in the first place but I was very surprised to see that it was only 2% alcohol. Dont remember if it was always that low a strength. Anyway I digress, Tennents is my current tipple of choice and I am having a pint of it just now in a proper T glass (stolen, natch). Anytime that I have a beer in the house I will only drink it from the proper glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a contradiction here as Tennents seem to be bashing out their brew as well. I am not against Tennents as it is clearly better than many, but surely they must be doing something right in respect of the other brands being brewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 In Morrisons tonight down the lager aisle and I pick the 20 cans of T up (£14) and she fucking pipes up and says "the Carling's only £12" she doesn't understand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
