A new, top quality lager described as being 'the best of Scotland, brewed for Scotland' is to be introduced by Tennent's.
Named Black T, the 4.7% ABV premium lager has been created using the finest ingredients - the majority of which are home-grown.
Black T will now be available in Tesco and Sainsburys from the weekend.
The bottled lager is brewed at the historic Wellpark brewery in Glasgow using hundreds of years of know-how and a recipe that calls for 100% local barley.
"Black T is a bit of a dark horse in the premium lager category -- but we think people are going to be very pleasantly surprised when they try it," said Paul Condron, Tennent's Marketing Director.
"It looks great, it tastes great and it's Scottish through-and-through."
Talking about the decision to create a family of Tennent's brands, Paul said: 'This is the first time we've looked to build a family of Tennent's beers, which is exciting."
"Tennent's has never stood still and has kept moving with the times throughout its 450-year history. Right now, we see demand for different types of beer for different occasions, whether it's a bit of a treat on a Friday night, or a light beer on a Sunday afternoon. Our new Tennent's family gives that choice and complements our core Tennent's Lager."
Black T is the latest in a growing product range from Tennent's, including Lemon T - a light, 2.8% ABV lemon lager launched earlier this year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
