Tennents has been produced at the Glasgow Wellpark Brewery since 1885, however beer has been produced on the site since 1556 making it Glasgow’s longest active business venue. Tenants is now the biggest-selling lager in Scotland. They were originally known for their strong export ales and stouts, before they changed tack and started focusing on lighter beer. Until 1991 Tennents cans were printed with photos of pretty women or ‘lager lovelies’ as they were known. Tennents now have 6 lines which are all very popular. They recently launched their first ale with their Caledonia Best line.

The Tennents Wellpark Brewery tour takes you behind the history of the brand as well as the production processes that are still used today. The tour starts at the origins of brewing at Wellpark, to present day support of and passion for Scottish football and music. The tour also delves into the branding of Tennents with a collection of vintage packaging as well as adverts from across the decades. There is also a shop to buy exclusive Tennents merchandise. The tour finishes with a pint of Scotlands favourite beer as well as samples of other Tennents brews. The tour takes around an hour and the post tour tasting takes around half an hour.  Some people recommend visiting during the week while most of the work is going on, as this allows you to see the beer being bottled. However, if visiting at the weekend there is opportunity to get closer to the machines.
