All I’m saying is, give Tennent’s a chance:

Let’s be honest, it’s the backbone of the nation.

Dear reader, the following article will be something of a rant which, to those of you familiar with the subject matter, will be neither new, nor necessary reading. But for those of you among us (and I know you know who you are) who insist on the desecration and defamation of the UK’s oldest lager, born and brewed in Glasgow, keep reading. I do not write this as a lager connoisseur, or even as a lager enthusiast, honestly, but simply as a Scottish gal who’s just heard one too many “piss water” references to the iconic beverage that is Tennent’s lager.

I, like many other children in central belt Scotland, grew up with a familiarity with Tennent’s. One of the earliest and most recurrent memories I have is of that big red “T” hanging off of the face of every local watering hole in my hometown and the other towns clustered around us – along with the subconscious knowledge that wherever there was a “T”, I wasn’t allowed in just yet (and the mounting intrigue which resulted). These big red “T”s were everywhere and steadily began to multiply the further west you travelled, as we often did to see my dad’s family. The authority and significance of the red “T” was on par with that of the McDonald’s golden arches today, promising civilisation and something familiar in an unfamiliar place. I remember the habitual shimmer of the gold and silver cans in the (albeit, weak and very short-lived) sunshine of Scottish summers, year in year out, watching the adults sip them happily as they made the most of our two whole days of sun. I remember observing them as a child and, finally, as a teenager being offered a sip from the can with the red “T”, the sharp bubbles heralding the end of my time as a “wean” and the beginning of tentative adulthood.

Safe to say, Tennent’s was a part of my childhood – and a part which, sometimes, I still cling to. In a world of pink gin, cocktails and various multicoloured syrups, Tennent’s represents something known, something safe, and something to come back to. In my Fresher’s Week of first year, someone offering me a cold can of Tennent’s in the dimly lit kitchen of university halls was one of the few times in that entire first week when I actually felt like I knew what was happening and what to do; no chugging, shotting or mixing required. In the current mania for craft beers, the option of a Tennent’s is a welcome reprieve from trying to navigate the various flavours, colours and “hops” on offer, a way to avoid the hot panic of trying to choose an IPA when you don’t even know what IPA stands for and just ending up picking “that one” because its label looks cool.

Tennent’s truly is the grandpa-friend of alcohols – safe, stable, kind of bitter, too unaware of what the kids are doing these days to even try and keep up, and completely and utterly reliable. Tennent’s doesn’t flirt with new flavours or pick up new logos or try to “expand”. Tennent’s is there, waiting for you, regardless of the situation and willing to forget those mean things you said about it over your Peroni on the last night out. Tennent’s is there for you on the beer garden days, the gloriously warm beach days, the can’t-realistically-afford-anything-else days, those beer pong nights and the there’s-nothing-on the-telly nights. It’s there when you can’t justify spending £5 on a single can of something crafty (in spite of the recent minimum pricing, it’s still one of the more affordable options in supermarkets) and will 9 times out of 10 be the cheapest pint in the pub.

More than that, Tennents is part of Scotland’s history; made from water gathered in the depths of the Trossachs, brewed as of 1885 using Scottish barley from Scottish farmers, in a Glasgow brewery that has been running since the 16th century. It features in every young Scot’s adolescence and is an inviolable part of our culture.

In short; sure, it might be piss-water, but it’s our piss-water and the sooner we all quit slandering it, the happier I’ll be.

  2. Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always helpful to read content from other authors and use a little something from other web sites.

  3. I’ve come across that these days, more and more people are being attracted to surveillance cameras and the field of pictures. However, really being a photographer, you have to first expend so much of your time deciding the exact model of dslr camera to buy as well as moving store to store just so you could possibly buy the most inexpensive camera of the brand you have decided to pick out. But it won’t end right now there. You also have to take into account whether you should purchase a digital video camera extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good guidelines I gathered from your blog.

  4. I can’t express how much I admire the effort the author has put into producing this exceptional piece of content. The clarity of the writing, the depth of analysis, and the plethora of information offered are simply astonishing. His zeal for the subject is obvious, and it has definitely resonated with me. Thank you, author, for offering your insights and enhancing our lives with this extraordinary article!

  5. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  7. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

  8. Wow, superb weblog structure! How lengthy have you ever been blogging for? you make running a blog glance easy. The full glance of your site is excellent, let alone the content material!

  9. PBN sites

    1- We acquire domain names from separate registrars

    2- The primary site is hosted on a VPS server (VPS is fast hosting)

    3- The rest of the sites are on distinct hostings

    4- We allocate a separate Google profile to each site with verification in Google Search Console.

    5- We develop websites on WordPress, we don’t utilize plugins with assistance from which malware penetrate and through which pages on your websites are established.

    6- We never reproduce templates and utilise only individual text and pictures

    We never work with website design; the client, if wanted, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes

  10. Hiya, I’m really glad I’ve found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and internet and this is actually annoying. A good site with interesting content, that is what I need. Thank you for keeping this web-site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.
