Tennent’s have announced the launch of their new low-calorie lager, Tennent’s Light.
The brewing team at Wellpark in the east end of Glasgow spent the last year perfecting a new light recipe - Scotland’s lowest calorie lager at 114 calories per pint and 3.5% ABV.
To mark the launch in Glasgow, Tennent’s decorated the Duke of Wellington statue outside the GoMA last week with a bunch of fully biodegradable, illuminated balloons.
Aimed at lager drinkers looking for lower calorie, lower ABV options, Tennent’s Light is less than 100 calories a bottle, clocking in at 66 calories per 330ml.
Made from 100% Scottish grown cereals and the fresh highland water from Loch Katrine, Tennent’s Light also has the additional benefit of being vegan and gluten free, as it is based on the brewery’s multi-award-winning Gluten Free Lager recipe.
James Hughes, brand manager at Tennent’s, said: “We’re incredibly excited to introduce Tennent’s Light today - and finally reveal why Scots have been seeing white balloons dotted around cities these past few days.
“Our talented brewing team at Wellpark have spent months cracking the perfect recipe, which is not only low calorie and low ABV, but it also tastes great.
“With more people looking for lower calorie and lower ABV options behind the bar, Tennent’s Light is our answer to the growing moderation trend and as the lowest calorie light lager on the market, we expect it to take Scotland by storm".
Tennent’s Light will be available on draught and 330ml bottles in selected bars throughout Scotland.
