Tennent's Super Strong Lager Beer, 7.5% ABV - Ideal Beer Party Pack - 500 ml x 24

Product Information

The lager is described prominently on the front of the can as ‘Strong Lager’ and the 9.0% alc vol (which is stronger than a typical lager) is displayed prominently in a large type. Both of these emphasise the alcoholic strength rather than providing factual information about the higher alcoholic content. Complainant Not all drinks firms take the same approach. Two years ago, Heineken, the third-largest global brewer, first diluted and then halted production of 8.5 per cent White Lightning, saying that the cider "continued to attract negative headlines and is still associated with a park-bench mentality".

Mr Swain added: "We need support and help from the breweries and government to end the easy availability of 9% lagers, and to accept that the cost of cheap, super strength is, in human terms, simply too high." Tennent’s lager is 4% abv. Which is quite low for a lager, to be honest, their Tennent’s Light Lager is even lower at 3.5% abv. On the other end of the scale is Tennent’s Super which is 8% (though as I mentioned earlier it is now brewed in Luton). Is Tennent’s Lager Gluten-Free? The main popular super strength lagers at 9%, all brewed by major drinks companies, include Tennent's Super, Carlsberg Special Brew, Skol Super and Kestrel Super.

The lager was once famous for the design of its cans, which featured photos of various female models printed onto the side, known affectionately as "The Lager Lovelies". This feature was used by Tennent's up until the final campaign in 1989. Today, authentic original Lager Lovely cans are sought after among collectors. The can design is now a plain yellow colour, with the company's trademark large red "T" featuring prominently. A banner heads the can, reading: "Scotland's favourite beer, only ever brewed at Wellpark Brewery, Glasgow". The original brewery was founded in 1556 by Robert Tennent, a farmer and professional Maltman on the banks of the Molendinar Burn. Hugh and Robert Tennent then founded the current brewery in 1740, before Hugh's descendant (who was also named Hugh) introduced Tennent's lager in 1885, it later became the first lager to be produced in the UK on a commercial scale.

Responding to Sam's Tweet, @monthekillie wrote: "I was in Milan for the derby in 2019, they had Tennents Super on draught in a bar called ‘Friends pub’ they love the stuff." Jeremy Swain, the charity's chief executive, said: "Our campaign is not a moralistic one. Our intention is simply to highlight the impact of the super-strength lager phenomenon that has developed over the past 20 years and the entirely unacceptable cull of people whose deaths are hastened through consuming these products." The company also went on to produce the first draught lager in 1924, the first canned lager in 1935 and the first keg lager in 1963.

Tennent was acquired by Charrington United Breweries in 1963, and in 1966 formally merged with United Caledonian Breweries, Charrington's other Scottish subsidiary, to form Tennent Caledonian Breweries.
