Step by Step

This brewery tour lasts about an hour and a half and allows you to discover the Wellpark brewery. An expert guide will accompany you inside, explaining anecdotes, curiosities and the brewing process. During the tour you will also see the tools used in the past and, at the end, you can finish the tour with a refreshing pint.

The star product is Tennent's Super, a beer with a market share of almost 50% in Scotland. It is a strong, golden yellow lager with a pleasant malty and apple aroma and no bitter notes. Local ingredients, such as Highland water from Loch Katrine, are used to achieve this fresh taste.

Thebirth of the brand dates back to 1556, when Robert Tennent founded a craft brewery in Glasgow. Two centuries later, in 1769, his heirs moved the brewery to its present location, while in 1876 the iconic red 'T', the logo still in use today, was registered. Few brands have survived the centuries and two world wars and have become a true icon of Scotland around the world.
