Brewed the Way Hugh Intended
This year, Tennent’s Lager turns 140 years old, and we’re marking the milestone with something truly special: the launch of Tennent’s Bavarian Pilsner, a limited-edition brew inspired by the journey that started it all.
In the 1880s, Hugh Tennent travelled to Bavaria and brought back brewing techniques that would shape the future of Scottish lager. Now, we’re honouring that legacy with a crisp, clean pilsner brewed using German bittering hops and Scottish barley, delivering a smooth finish that’s both refreshing and rooted in tradition. This isn’t just a new product, it’s a celebration of our heritage, our innovation, and our future. It’s a chance to reconnect with the story of Hugh Tennent and the Bavarian roots that helped shape our iconic lager. It’s brewed using traditional Bavarian methods but made right here in Glasgow.
Can you really go wrong when Glasgow graft meets Bavarian craft? Jim Ryan, our Head Brewer, thinks not!
“This beer is a celebration of Scottish ingredients, precision brewing, and passion for quality. Every step—from selecting local barley and premium hops to the meticulous fermentation process—is driven by a commitment to balance, clarity, and flavour. The result is a Crisp, clean, and perfectly balanced, Pilsner with a smooth finish that lets the hops shine without overpowering.”
Keep Your Hands Warm And Your Beer Cold
Get a hold of this cracking pilsner without getting your hands cold! You can enjoy your Bavarian Pilsner with a custom can handle that’ll keep your drink properly chilled and your hand properly warm … granted you’re inside with the heating on. It is Scotland after all!
The beer can handle also gives you the sense that you’re raising a glass in ye olde tavern, a wee nod to our Bavarian inspiration. And of course, you can use it with other cans going forward … but we promise you’ll get the best taste out of a can of T!
These handle cans are only available from our online store, buy online here.
Good Things Don’t Last (Mostly)
But, Tennent’s Bavarian Pilsner won’t be about forever, so if you’re fond of some proper Bavarian brewing with a Scottish soul, make sure to try some before this limited edition runs out.
Get a taste of what inspired Hugh Tennent 140 years ago while you still can.
