The Tennents Lager Appreciation Society


Recommended Posts

Living in England, it's a rare pleasure getting a pint of T. Looking forward to savouring fuckloads of it for the next three days that I'm in Scotland.

As it goes, my local down here does the following on tap, in my preferred order:

Peroni, San Miguel, Coors Light, Stella, Carlsberg, Fosters, Carling.

 

Not a great choice tbh.

Not that anyone asked, but of the lagers you see in pubs, I'd go:

  1. Estrella
  2. Innis and Gunn
  3. Heineken
  4. Poretti
  5. San Miguel
  6. Stella
  7. Tennents
  8. Budweiser
  9. Staropramen
  10. Fosters
  11. Kronenbourg 1664
  12. Carling
  13. Carlsberg

Tennents - very much a mid-table beer. 

If we exclude the fact that you are clearly wrong and Tennents should be top of that list, I endorse your thoughts on Estrella. When my sister was living in Spain you could get a litre bottle from the local super market for EUR 0.59 a pop. Outstanding value for money.

All that’s wrong with that list is that Tennents isn’t top. Estrella & The Innis & Gunn stuff is glorious though.

Is probably have Stella above coors light but f**k sake you’re struggling

You know why I drink Tennents?
Because usually it's all the pub has in the generic lager stakes.
Like the sun giving away copies of their monstrosity to boost circulation figures, it's been your standard lager since your first trip to the pub and you just don't know any better.
You should want better, you should demand better.

Yes, the picture could be in focus, mind you, you can probably see it perfectly.

Was so excited it was glorious T he pressed the capture button before his phone could auto-focus.

Estrella and Innis & Gunn are probably the tip top of what you can expect to get in most decent pubs around here but if I'm out with the lads and don't want to come across as a flash c**t I'll order a T and enjoy the comfort it brings.

It may have been mentioned previously but there was a time when all we could get in Scotland was Tennents or McEwans, then in the early seventies I remember the Co-op stocking bottled Belhaven, now the shelves are stacked with a vast array of beer choice.

When I was in Ben Line in the late sixties onwards the company stocked the ships bar with Tennents only on draught and then on arrival in Singapore we changed out to Tiger for the far east leg and then homeward.

The Japanese beer Kirin was founded by a Fraserburgh man.
