I accept my bias here but I think Tennents is the best of the home market big brewers. Yes it can't hold a candle to our cousins in Germany and Bohemia but for a run of the mill pint it serves it's intended purpose.

Until fairly recently I (a Scot) turned my nose up at Tennants, prefering continental brews. But I visited a village pub and had a pint of Tennant's. I marvelled at it. Now I'm a convinced Tennant's drinker.

I am Scottish and not a big fan of Tennents but thought I’d give it a go on the PD, well f me what a surprise on the PD, ended up buying a second keg after I finished the first. As it’s not too strong my 18yr old boy and his mates like it too. Also has the lowest calories than any other lager on the PD which is nice. Ok there are better lagers on the PD and some not as good but certainly nothing to compete at 4% which is a welcome addition to the PD.
@Martin-lp4yg Жыл бұрын
The 5% Tennents is actually no bad...why don't they sell it more! Had it up north on tap and it went doon nae bother...lose the 4% watery crap! I met a guy years ago who worked for Tennents and said the lager was only lagered for 2 weeks...says it all!
@SimonMartinForPrimeMinister2 жыл бұрын
Delighted you have reviews this, as a Scotsman I have grew up with this beer ( it’s not great but in some traditional Scottish pubs the beer is ok on draught) would I buy a keg? No. 😊

Your opinion on Tennent's mirrors mine. I'm Irish but have lived in Scotland for years, so you kind of 'tolerate' pub Tennent's. I was pleasantly surprised with the PerfectDraft stuff though! Tastes much better, so much so that I've had it twice on my journey round all the kegs available. I also rated it 7/10! Great minds.
@sebrofg2 жыл бұрын
Got a real soft spot for Tennent's Lager, got it for the first time on the PD same day of the review strangely enough. I remember reading that if a pub in Glasgow didn't sell Tennent's it wouldn't last 6 months. 🍻

You can see why the craft brewers struggle with lager when a huge brewer can create massively popular top quality premium lager like this. There's just no room in the market.
@JackBWakeham2 жыл бұрын
The 'Top Quality' part is highly debatable though, the primary reason is because people don't really understand lager or understand the little nuances between a properly brewed and conditioned lager vs something like this.
