TENNENTS EXTRA COLD

I love beer, i have done for many years - it's * fantastic; that first cold sip (or guzzle) after a day's work....chilling out in a social atmosphere a la pub with companions. Until 2 years ago, however, i didn't realise how good it could be...

UNTIL

Tennents brought out their "Cold" variety - with the special glasses that keep the fizz going.

Best thing to happen to lager ever. Has anyone else seen the light as opposed to it's wamer equivalent (or, * forbid, Fosters and its ilk - great adverts, * lager)?

 

Peroni all the way. Tennents tastes like * through an old sock. Doesn't matter how cold they make it, unless it's enough to get rid of the flavour.

 

love a pint of the big 'T' when im over...but out of a can it HAS to be just about to freeze before i can get it into me, wasnt ale=ways like that just over the last few years... but i * LOVE dutch gold from a can!!!!!!!!!!!

might try a extra cold t this weekend.

 

sounds cool , hate tennants tho

 

Haha - not bad mate.

Aye, Nastro Azzuro is not bad, but predominantly located in bottled and rarely in draught (can't remember seeing it ever, in truth). I don't like drinking bottles in pubs, and Captain T is the business for me!

 

£1 a pint in the toll booth...lol

 

They used to have it on draught in the Canonsgate on the High St. in Edinburgh. Also, they quite often have them in the Pivos across the land. Went to watch a midday OF game in the 'Gate one time by myself. Had a spliff for breakfast and three pints of the stuff by halftime. Suffice to say, it ended in tears. I end up getting tossed from a Pizza Hut (* knows how I got there), for trying to dance on a table. Strong lagers are the end of me.

 

I actually prefer regular Tennants to the extra cold. It's a taste thing, the colder ones just usually taste that bit blander to me. Having worked behind a bar I can easily say that more people ask for extra cold though - same applies for Guiness for some reason despite the regular Guiness being more loved by the guys who like Guiness more.

 

granted its better than normal tennents but still pish water in ma opinion. Polish beer is the way forward! Okocim its called, 5.5% and a pint in a bottle. You can get black lidded ones too which are 7.5%!!! Amber nectar! Just cracked ma first bottle open there! aaaaahhhhhhhh......

 

cannae stand tennents lager ,prefer an ice cold bud

 

I like Becks and Miller and Newcastle Brown Ale more.

 

Tennents for me is the best of all the beers, if your looking for a really beery beer, if that makes any sense.

A lot of beers like Bud, Corona, MGD are just too smooth for my tastes. I like the beeriness (?) to catch the back of my throat when I have a drink. Stella is like that, sort of harsh, whereas Fosters isnt.

 

Stella´s quality always liked that for some reason used to buy a create nearly every other weekend back home :icon_mrgreen: Ma da loved Tennants when he was in Scotland as well i tasted it a few times and thought it was nice :icon_mrgreen:

 

I agree mate - the Millers / Buds / Coronas of this world are far too sweet for my liking.

Other bottles that are wortha pop if you get the chance (Any one of the Bier Halle places in Glasgow have some of them):

Tsing Tao - Chinese beer, gorgeous.

Bitburger - German, pint sized bottle and is excellent.

Jever. Rarely found unless randomly in Oddbins. Wonderful.

Still none as good as the Cold T though (although im regretting pints 5,6 and 7 from last night!)

 

I've got to bolt from work to the train station to get back to the chosen land, so it will be tins of the regular stuff on the journey...such is life...will make up for it when i get to Dumbarton road!
