Tennent's

Tennent's is a Glasgow-brewed lager brand that has been produced at the Wellpark Brewery since 1885, Scotland's best-selling beer, with an alcohol-free option now part of its lineup.

The Wellpark site's brewing history stretches back to 1556, and Hugh and Robert Tennent founded the present brewery in 1740. The current lager dates to 1885, when Hugh Tennent, great-great-grandson of co-founder Hugh, returned from Bavaria with a recipe inspired by Bavarian beer and pilsners. Tennent Caledonian Breweries UK Ltd brews the range at Wellpark using 100% Scottish barley, soft water from Loch Katrine, Herkules and Tettnang hops, low-temperature fermentation, and a historic strain of yeast.

It produced the first draught lager in 1924, was one of the first to can lager in 1935, and produced the first keg lager in 1963. By the 1860s, Tennent's was the world's largest exporter of bottled beer. The brand celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2025.

Tennent's holds approximately 60% of the Scottish lager market and has a long history of sponsoring Scottish cultural and sporting events, including the T in the Park music festival from 1994 to 2016, the Scottish Cup for 18 years, and the Scotland national football team. Its lager cans were once known for featuring photos of models, referred to as the Lager Lovelies. The brand is owned by C&C Group, an Irish drinks company.
