Tennent's lager

Tennent's lager is a popular beer. The lager was first brewed in 1885 by Hugh Tennent and in 1893 it won the highest award at the Chicago World's Fair. Tennent's was the first lager to be brewed in Scotland.

Tennent's is currently owned by Tennent Caledonian Breweries which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bass Brewers, itself owned by Belgian brewing company InBev formerly known as Interbrew. Tennent's also brew several other beers including Tennent's Super Ale, which is traditionally served warm straight from the can and Tennent's stout. Tennent's Lager was traditionally sold in yellow and red cans which had a copper inner lining and gave the beer a coppery taste. Modern cans are silver, yellow and red and lack this distinctive copper taste.
