    My partner and I went on the tenant's brewery disabled tour because if you're in a wheelchair, you cannot access the factory. But it is highly worth. we were met by Nick who took us outside into the brewery and told us what each building does and the history of tenants. Then he took us to the side. Let us smell all the hops and grains that Tennent's use. After that, he took his inside to the museum and showed us a video of how the Factory works. He was very knowledgeable friendly and couldn't do enough to help Very nice person . Then upstairs s for a pint of Tennent's that was drinkable this was because it through immaculate copper pipe system And unpasteurized. Then we had a look round the museum they have these large interactive screens with people from tenants history telling you about what they did and how they changed tenants. If you're disabled or a concession, you get a discount for the tour which includes a free pint. You must book before attending. No disabled access problems had everything you needed. A lovely little shop with gifts all tenants branded of course. Highly recommend a visit.

    I am yet to take the tour but I just adore this building, the array of artworks always raise a smile, that 70s wallpaper and TV that reminds me of grans with the adverts flicking on it is a little slice of genius and yes the 70ft beers leave me parched every time. Well played Tennants.

    Hands down the best brewery tour I've done. Our tour guide, Tony, was brilliant. Very interesting and a very nice pint to finish it off. Highly recommend paying the fiver extra and doing the tastings of the different beers. 10/10

    Brilliant tour! Since restrictions have been lifted we were allowed to see inside the brewery which was super cool. Dan was a great tour guide and afterwards we got to enjoy a fresh pint of unpasteurised tennents straight from the source! Would really recommend if you’re a lager fan or just looking for something interested to do while in Glasgow. 🍻

    We went on Tennent’s tour the day that restrictions were pulled and it was amazing. Our guide explained all the brewery’s history and all the tour guys were very warm and welcoming (they also gave me a shirt as a gift 🎁) we had beer tasting as well and tried at least 4 different beers. Recommend 100%

    (Translated by Google) Larger brewery than it looks like from the outside at first, at a reasonable distance from the center. Beautiful wall paintings adorn the wall, even further on the grounds some nice examples. Guided tour not very special or surprising. On weekdays, perhaps the best choice for everything in operation. Were with small group (total 6) so everything to follow well. Afterwards in the bar / shop 1 pint tasted (choice of lager, ale, cider) and 2 bottles of a test quantity. Especially on a day with moderate weather an excellent destination and time use (Original) Grotere brouwerij dan het zich van buitenaf in eerste instantie doet lijken, op redelijke loopafstand van het centrum. Fraaie muurschilderingen sieren de muur, ook verder op het terrein enkele fraaie exemplaren. Rondleiding niet heel bijzonder of verrassend. Doordeweeks wellicht beste keuze ivm alles in werking. Waren met kleine groep (totaal 6) dus alles goed te volgen. Na afloop in de bar/shop 1 pint geproefd (keuze uit lager, ale, cider) en nog van 2 flessen een proefhoeveelheid. Zeker op een dag met matig weer een prima bestemming en tijdsbesteding

  • 5/5 Steve S. 5 years ago on Google
    Daniel, our guide, was very accommodating and hospitable. I loved the tour and my only regret is seeing that others got 3 or 4 samples at the end in addition to the advertised pint. We got two and were happy with it.

  • 5/5 tania c. 6 years ago on Google
    Great tour. A must do if you're ever in Glasgow. Our tour guide Tom was very helpful and explained everything to a T.

  • 5/5 Adria V. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They make guided tours of the factory, and then they invite you to a beer tasting. Very good deal. (Original) Fan visites guiades per la fàbrica, i despres et conviden a fer degustació de cerveses. Molt bon tracte.

    Was a great day out, and the pints taste even more glorious straight from the source. Our tour guides Dan and Ian were both great, would recommend this to anymore!

  • 5/5 Kelly 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent tour. Sam was absolutely brilliant and delivered the tour with enthusiasm and some seriously awful puns! Both Sam and Tony were very knowledgeable and were great to chat to whilst we enjoyed the pint at the end. Another reviewer recommended paying the £5 for the three tasters; I second this!

    Amazing experience, super interesting hearing all the processes and facts for Scotland's favourite lager 🍺 Tony was phenomenal, unreal banter and extremely knowledgeable - if I had to put together the ultimate pub quiz team he'd be on it 😉

  • 5/5 Lex E. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing brewery tour with a wonderful museum and a lovely bar upstairs! the tour was in-delth the tour guide (Leo, I believe) was funny and informative. For an extra £5 we got to try some rarer Tennants bottled beer samples too! Today was a fantastic day out highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Maya H. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a blast during the brewery tour. Ideal for all the T lovers. Short and sweet. And you get the crispiest unpasteurised pint at the end.

  • 5/5 Cameron 4 years ago on Google
    The tour was really interesting and brought back memories looking at the old cans. Our tour guide Tony was excellent, knew everything there was to know. At one stage I was waiting on him telling me my mother's maiden name, a really knowledgeable guy and a good laugh. I would really recommend this tour and the complimentary pint in the bar at the end topped it off nicely.

  • 5/5 Craig H. 6 years ago on Google
    Very good tour. With a pint of your choice at the end as well as 3 glasses of export beer. Tour guide (Marco) was very knowledgeable and friendly. Didn't feel like he was rushing through the tour.

  • 4/5 Steven K. 5 years ago on Google
    Good tour. Tony knew his stuff and was entertaining. Not a lager fan but enjoyed the stout and IPA at the end. Gonna take the Canadian cousins when they visit in the summer.

  • 5/5 soapy d. 4 years ago on Google
    On holiday from Australia and couldnt miss out on my favourite beer Decided to book a tour We had real issies trying to have our credit cards accepted online Decided to call the following day Received perfect customer service from Ross while msking psyment I have a bit of mobility issues at the moment and struggled during the tour climbing so many steps Danial was the perfect guid Gave everyone a great history lesson while throwing in a few laughs The pint at the end was worth the cost of entry alone We just had to stay for another For his customer service alone dan the tour guide man gets 6 stars Only two small negatives The online booking issues and anyone with mobility issues will struggle on this tour One thing to add Maybe create a replica of the old cans as a gift on leaving?

  • 5/5 James M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great tour lasts for a hour and at price well worth it very informative paid extra for the samples at the end

  • 3/5 Marius M. 4 years ago on Google
    Not what I expected the tour is not very professional or inspiring kind of "cold" and "dry" some areas very noisy to the point that you can't hear the guide. Overall poor.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent tour which was very informative. Tour guide Tony was an added bonus.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great tour and museum welll worth’s a visit

  • 1/5 Thomas 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I have been to many breweries in different countries. This, today was a disappointment. One is led the 50% of the "leadership" outside in the rain. Otherwise shown little of real manufacturing ... industrial large production zero eight fifteen ... Too bad about the time! Others have a real tradition and show that too. (Original) Ich war schon in vielen Brauereien in verschiedenen Ländern.Diese , heute war eine Enttäuschung. Man wird die 50 % der „Führung“ außerhalb im Regen geführt. Ansonsten wenig von echter Herstellung gezeigt... industrielle Grossproduktion null acht fünfzehn... Schade um die Zeit! Andere haben echte Tradition und zeigen auch diese.

    (Translated by Google) Tourguide was good, knew a lot and could tell with humor. You got a good picture of the history, construction process and the tour ended with a pint tank of Tennents. (Original) Tourguide was goed, wist veel en kon met humor vertellen. Je kreeg een goed beeld van de geschiedenis, bouwproces en de tour sloot af met een pint tank Tennents.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a great time on our recent tour. Tony is an exceptional guide and we had lots of laughs. Definitely recommend the flight tasting at the end of the tour. A “must see” if in Glasgow.

  • 5/5 Rotem S. 4 years ago on Google
    Tony was an outstanding guide. Funny, engaging, knowledgeable...the tour was great, and we added on the extra tastings at the end to get a taste of another 3 types of beer Tennents makes. Great tour, definitely recommended!

  • 5/5 C t. 4 years ago on Google
    Getting an in depth education on the history of one of the oldest Scottish products was one of the most enjoyable times of my life, they took us through the entire brewing process and then you got a free pint afterwards! Need I say more!

  • 5/5 Vitor D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After visiting the main museums in Glasgow I decided to visit this distillery, and in good time I did. I was fortunate to have as a guide Craig who combines a knowledge about the art and history of brewing with a sense of humor. I learned a lot about beer and beer history in Scotland. The highlight was at the end where I could drink a pint of lager and taste the other varieties produced by excellent tennents (IPA) at all levels. (Original) Depois de visitar os principais museus de Glasgow resolvi visitar esta destilaria, e em boa hora o fiz. Tive a sorte de ter como guia Craig que alia um conhecimento sobre a arte e história de fazer cerveja com um sentido de humor. Aprendi imenso sobre cerveja e história da cerveja na Escócia. O ponto alto foi no final onde pude beber uma "pint" de lager e provar as outras variedades produzidas pela tennents ( não percam a IPA) excelente a todos os níveis.

  • 4/5 Leslie K. 5 years ago on Google
    Myself and my brother had the tour on 1st February and found it to be very interesting and informative. Unfortunately painting was taking place on the stairwells and doors during the tour. We and the rest of the group were careful not to touch the wet surfaces but I had paint splashed on my jacket from somewhere above me. I mentioned it to the guide and he was somewhat offhand by saying that the danger was signposted. Since the tour, a matter of 7 weeks has passed without any resolution to my claim for compensation despite numerous phone calls and a letter. I have been passed from pillar to post with no-one in the Visitor Centre or the facilities accepting responsibility. Why the painting was being done while tours were taking place puzzles me. Surely overnight would have been best time. Another day has passed without receiving a promised phone call and 7 weeks is 6 too many. Just going now to have a few pints of their great lager but leaves a slightly bitter taste now
