How a Scottish lager plans to reclaim its Empire

LENDING its iconic red T to Scotland's biggest music festival and a series of mid-nineties adverts famously lampooning chauvinsim, sadism, feminism and masochism, a pint of Tennent's lager is probably as quintessentially Scottish as whisky or Irn-Bru.

However, the drink was once an internationally coveted brand exported to far-flung corners of the globe including Cuba, San Francisco, Melbourne, Mauritius and South Africa.

Now the brewery is aiming to raise awareness of that heritage.
