Tennent ’ s Wellpark Brewery is Scotland ’ s oldest brewery , tracing its roots back to the 1500s . Since its establishment in 1885 , it has consistently produced awardwinning brews . The brewery ’ s fascinating story revolves around Hugh Tennent , who defied skeptics in 1885 to create Tennent ’ s Lager , initially dubbed a ‘ madman ’ s dream ’ by newspapers . Today , Tennent ’ s Lager dominates the Scottish market , accounting for every second pint of lager consumed in the country .
Upgrading Brewery Operations for Enhanced Efficiency
As part of their process , spent grain is transferred from two mash filters that drain the spent grain to 24 % DS . Originally , the spent grain fell from the mash filters into an expeller unit from where it was conveyed over 64m with a 20m elevation to the silo . With the expeller , the grain transfer took ~ 90 minutes after each brew and used 1,125Nm ³ of air .
Tennent ’ s Lager , part of leading drinks manufacturer and distributor C & C Group , is committed to a robust sustainability strategy , exemplified by ambitious carbon reduction targets . These targets aim to achieve a 35 % reduction in scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030 and have been validated by the Science Based Target initiative . In recent years Tennent ’ s has made significant investments in various carbon reduction projects , including carbon capture and anaerobic digestion plants .
