Website: Entry for Tennet's in the Directory of UK Real Ale Breweries
The Wellpark Brewery was established in 1745 and Tennet's
were the first brewers in Scotland to make a lager beer and they did they as far
back as 1893 when Tennet's Lager won the highest award at the Chicago World
Fair. The brewery was taken over by Charrington in 1963 and then became a fully
owned subsidiary of Bass. Bass is now owned by
Inbev. Tennet's are keen sponsors
of many different events in the UK including the Scottish Cup and various
music festivals. They
were also famous for the design of their beer cans in the 70s and 80s, each one
adorned with a beautiful lady, some of which can be seen
here.
