Sooperstar Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Aye they took it down not long after I posted the link. But I was able to go onto the website, search for Tennents and then there was the PD Keg for sale. It is 100% Tennent's being launched today.

Do The Dance Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Not for me, but I knew it would be popular. More choice is a good thing, and good to see new breweries involved which hopefully open up more of their range in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Meh. Think folk are getting a wee bit nostalgic. I do like Tennent's, it's probably the pint I drink most in pubs but purely as it's available everywhere. I don't get the hysteria when there's several great beers already available that you can't normally buy on these shores. That said, it's a good step if they're branching out into different breweries.

Locky Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Here's a thing, do you think pubs in the future will start providing a refill service? Could be a way for them to keep turning a profit when back open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously can't vouch for Tennents but the likes of Stella is as good as you will get in a pub and much better than cans or bottles. The only drawback I have found with the machines is that they are very moreish and you can get blootered very easily. SC semi my glass was never empty and I wondered why I was so wrecked.

I think the PD Stella is streets ahead of the British brewed Stella. I wouldn’t buy a pint in a pub here but happy to drink it on PD.

My opinion as price wise it’s worth it for a IPA like Goose or Clwb Tropica when you’re spending £2 on a 330ml can. Not quite so much with a cheaper lager, but still a smoother pint.
