I was on a ship in Glasgow in the mid 60's and a couple of us did the Tennents tour. I can't quite remember where in Glasgow the brewery was but am pretty sure we got there by bus. We did the tour and got to the hospitality area, or whatever it was called, and were given the free pint. We mentioned to someone we were off a ship and we had drunk hundreds of gallons of Tennents between us over time. Someone in authority decided we deserved to stay and have free beer which you will be surprised to hear we took full advantage of. Chucked out at 5pm and we had to take a taxi back as not capable of navigating the bus network. Grand day out. Oddly enough I hate lager now and only drink real ale but I loved Tennents back then.
