throbber Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I have no idea what you're on about. Get out of the pub It was just a play on how you hate hot drinks with your dislike of coffee and tea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Tennent's Lager is glorious. Throbbers attention seeking is not. There was no attention seeking, I was just pulling up so called beer connoisseurs who are trying to overly big up Tennents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you get a pretentious beer also? I honestly don’t think there is that much scope to go wrong with a beer. I just find there are easier options enjoy drinking rather than going for Tennents but your post I actually found rather pretentious. Maybe comparing it to McDonald's wasn't entirely correct...thinking about it, it's maybe more accurate to say Tennent's is more the Gregg's sausage roll of the beer world. Sometimes you're right in the mood for a couple...they're easy to get a hold of and they almost always hit the spot. Having said that, it's unlikely anybody's going to say that couple of Gregg's sausage rolls they just ate were the best meal they've ever had, and I reckon it's the same with Tennent's...nobody goes away disappointed - nobody's that excited either, but there's something earthy, comforting and ineffably down-home about that first tan of the first pint.

Back on topic, I do enjoy a Tennent's when out and about. Don't get the snobbish attitude towards it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can scoop it all day and have a decent time, I couldn't imagine the nick I would be in if I had ten pints of something around 5.1% when out. Tell them about the nick you were in the day I introduced you to a certain small liqueur.........................................after umpteen pints of whatever Hampden serves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 You can't get it on draught in englandshire which makes it all the better when I get to scotland. In terms of a lager it's quite sophisticated there are various flavours in it and it has a real crisp taste. I have managed to find a sympathetic off license that gets me the cans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdel6cans Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 nothing wrong with tennents! I tend to ask for a lager tops and not any particular brand of lager so I do get tennents most times. apart from the taste of hops you get in becks and pils type lagers (which I can't stand) most lagers just taste the same anyway. most dearer pints are similar in taste just some are a bit stronger and far more expensive! Lager tops ? Cocktail thread for this please.[emoji484] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I work for a craft beer company and we have Tennent's on draught. 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. Edited October 14, 2017 by Smurph 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm as p.c. as they come, but please bring these back. Remember from funerals circa 78/79. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The biggest issue with Tennant's is usually pub landlords who don't clean their pipes as frequently or as correctly as they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
