The gift shop has a lot of cool goodies to buy. I will say, if you want to get a pint glass etched with your name on it, be patient as they try to make sure it’s perfectly centered for you, as their machine is finicky. But they have an amazing team there. It’s always nice to end the tours with a quick drink too. Highly recommend this tour. Read more Written 20 April 2024

Select participants and date

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.

The birth 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.
