Tennents Super - underrated

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I don't much care for purple tins. But I do like a bit of chilled super strength lager and I love a red nose. A lot. So, over dinner on holiday in a boiling hot Kemnay where gingers were turning from blue to white before our very eyes, we decided to go for a bottle of the much-derided Tennents Super, generally known here solely for being favoured by drooling 53 year olds in crap London Road doorways. But this was seriously gorgeous stuff: chilled, fizzy but a deep piss yellow. It was inexpensive but miles away from the looney juice that's besmirched its name here. So good that another bottle of it graced our pavement the next evening. And that one was even better.

So, can you get it here? I've hardly seen it, apart from the vile blended autofreeze nonsense Tescos has on offer at 114.7p a litre. Texaco has nothing, Shell nothing decent.

The campaign with the slogan "laugh with me, not at me, I'm drinking Tennents super" starts here.

Nowt wrong with a cheeky Tennants Super or 3, Mr H. Always a cheap night in (& totally forgotten).

It's not bad at all so long as it's very cold

 

[Greyrun]

Cold to the point where it starts to crystallise for a more fruity flavour try Skol super.

Now this is drinkable in a way that the old purple tin or special brew can never be

Correct. Super T is actually ok as long as it's cold. When it warms up it turn like syrup, it's like drinking cough medicine.

I didn't know it came in bottles, I'd like to try that

"Drink responsibly" - Not likely if you're on the Kestrel Super!

Used to drink wine shandies which consisted of a third of a pint of White wine. Please note - none of that shit , we're talking tesco's own label german white. Topped up with tennets super lager. Great way of getting pissed when time is short, if you can ignore the psychological problems caused by such a concoction it's very good! It must be served cold, only a complete philistine would drink it warm!

After a bit of intense exercise I find it very refreshing.....
