And at a relatively low ABV is ideal for a long day out. 5 minutes ago, invergowrie arab said: Of you are on a 6-10 pint scoop I would love to hear what people are putting forward as alternative lagers. It wouldn't be in my top 30 beers but in its class it is the one. 2 minutes ago, Tynieness said: Absolutely, as I said earlier in thread if you're out for a day on the lash, Tennents is the one. 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. Fucking lightweights. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMc99 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 One thing tennants must do is bring back the YELLA and red can. when i started drinking they had just changed them to the soulless, characterless, silver can. i'm certain that i would be a better person if i drank out the yella can, i'd probably be hard as f**k and could batter anyone if i drank the yella can but i'm drinkin the silver and that enables me to be floored with a miss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Cant remember EVER having pint of old firm. Scottish pishe..... 80 all the way If the hospital lets me oot, I'll probably have belhavn...second after a Tennents 80 Thankfully for us, ‘the hospital’ will never let you out. Unless that big Chief Bromden bloke puts something through the window again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I had some absolutely amazing times on the purple tin back in college when it was all about how much bang you can get for your buck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) 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!

Menzel Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 1 hour ago, milton75 said: "Brewed in the UK" crap. San Miguel, Staropramen, Stella, Kronenberg etc. You may as well buy a different beer. It doesn't taste the same as it does in Czech, Spain, etc. I find the 5% they put onto export Staropramen makes it a better pint than in the Czech Republic. Maybe spoiled for choice, but Staropramen is generally considered a pretty average pint here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Tennents is my choice as well. Beautiful. There was a pub in Putney that had Tennents Velvit (I think) on tap. Don't think I've ever seen it up here. Seem to remember it was about £2 as well, whilst Carling and other assorted dross was about double that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 No problem with Tennent’s; it's a solid unpretentious pint that gets the job done – it’s basically the McDonald’s of the beer world. As far as lager goes, the ire I have is mainly for the Moretti/Peroni axis of evil…essentially the same pint maybe a percentage point stronger and also half again as expensive, drunk exclusively by slightly neddy punters who’ve just been paid and think drinking out of a different glass from most people in the boozer implies some sort of sophistication. As an experiment, I’d like to see Tennent’s stick out something similar – call it Tennenti and put it in a poncy glass just to watch them slurp it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of tops, the only time I ever order a lager tops is where I'm forced to buy Tennent's (or worse Carling) and I need something to take the acidic taste away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
