Hi Ed, next time you're in the area of Tennent's, let me know. I'm a tour guide in the visitor centre, I'll give you a wee look round and some of the history patter!
Thanks Raymond. I'm researching Edinburgh just now. If I do a video it'll be a bit different to this one. Edinburgh has way more brewery buildings still standing. But, like Glasgow, it's all very complicated.
Excellent video thanks Ed, and such an interesting subject. You certainly carried out a lot of research to bring us this video. I'm glad you found time to enjoy a pint. Well deserved.
Thanks Ed, I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation on old Glasgow breweries. And finishing with the Tennents brewery. When I was on a pilgrimage to Scotland, the birthplace of my father (in Dundee) I finished my adventure in Glascow with a tour of Tennents establishment. I also found that they produce an excellent product. We had a jolly time on our last night in a Glascow hotel meeting many joyful Glaswegians and wetting our necks with easy drinking Tennants beer. The memories shall never fade. Your channel is well received down here in Queensland, Australia ED!
Fantastic video indeed of the Auld brewery's I remember the dark 🍺 beer it was the black n tan I think black beer and a short of whisky🥃 as you said and how true they were the good old days shame a lot of the breweries have now gone. Bring back the old days and the better times that's for sure...
Love your videos. Keep up the good work. One video that, I would love to see is on the old town of Straiton, Midlothian. There are still some cottages left. Your video on Newhaven was fantastic too.
Wow! This is seriously cool! 🤯 I have a soft spot for history, especially the industrial kind. I always get curious about the old buildings you see around the city, wondering what they were. This video dives right into that!
Many thanks. I'm working on a similar video about breweries in old Edinburgh, but oh my goodness but it's complicated. How to whittle down a zillion facts and figures.
Fantastic upload Mr Burns. Can you do a similar review of the Edinburgh Breweries, that would compliment the Glasgow upload. I notice your no wearing yer new boots that need broken in (no see them for a few uploads now), are they okies? 🤪
love that bit of canal. did a walk to possil park and the main road goes right past the back of speirs wharf flats, you get to see them up close and from a different perspective. Still not a patch on the wharehouses in liverpool
Thank you Ed, another great video, I do enjoy your work. It would be fantastic to be able to taste some of the ales and porters produced by those breweries back then.
Hi Ed, as usual an interesting and informative video. I was looking at the map with the Kingston bridge on it trying to see if the flour mill to the right of the bridge was there, but I couldn't see it. When I drove for Archibald Brechin in Pinkston road I frequented a lot of the distilleries in the area. It was all whisky though, not beer.
It's fascinating how in the early days of the industrial revolution, a factory would be built in the grounds of a grand house, complete with extensive gardens and bowling green. This continued into the early C20th in some places. Impossible to imagine captains of industry living "over the shop" nowadays.
HI, I was in Glasgow last Sunday, Monday, and noticed that you dont get a pint anymore. You pay for a pint,but thats only if it is filled up to the rim. The companies are making 5 to 8 percent extra on every pint an already over priced product.Bring back lined the BSI Mark and lined pint! ATB and cheers.
Totally agree. Sometimes you get a pint glass filled to the brim with beer and no head, which makes it nigh impossible to get it to your lips without spilling any. Lined glasses definitely the way to go.
Very informative video however Tennents Lager “world famed”?World derided more like.Its just another adjunct keg lager.Thank god for West brewery just down the road.
Excellent, hugely well researched video (as ever), Eddie. Thanks again for broadening our knowledge of the history of Glasgow & its breweries. 🍻👌👍👏
Thanks Robert.

Fantastic offer, @zeinno - give Ed a few samples on the visit, would be great to see that upload if he is able to share/record it.
Many thanks.
Great video again Ed 👍
Would there be any chance of doing one about the old breweries of Edinburgh?
Thanks Raymond. I'm researching Edinburgh just now. If I do a video it'll be a bit different to this one. Edinburgh has way more brewery buildings still standing. But, like Glasgow, it's all very complicated.
That's great to hear Ed. Yeah I bet, so much history of breweries in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Look forward to the video mate 👍
Excellent video thanks Ed, and such an interesting subject. You certainly carried out a lot of research to bring us this video. I'm glad you found time to enjoy a pint. Well deserved.
Cheers Bryce.

Thanks John. The Tennent's Visitor Centre at Wellpark Brewery is really very good. Highly recommended. All the best to Australia.
Brilliant Ed, class all the way to the rocking outro, so good I expected an end credit scene.
Thank you. I should probably have moved the pint-drinking clip to after the credits.
Nice video Ed. Very interesting info about the history of the brewing industry in Scotland. Cheers!

Thanks Lynn.
All your wotk and editing much appreciated, i just think you deserve many more subscribers
Don't think I could handle a hunnner-thoosan.

Interesting and very enjoyable to watch this Ed, was not aware of The Glasow Porter possibity either. Really enjoyed your music at the end too.
Cheers. 👍

Many thanks Louise.
Watching this interesting video,whilst looking out my livingroom window at Bairds Malt plant at Hospitalfield Arbroath.

Great watch & listen, thanks Sir.
Thank you.
Believe it or not Tennents used to be an award winning beer.
Another great video. Thank you!
Cheers Sarah.
Well its a pint of Tennent's for me. Great stuff Ed.
McEwans's for me am afraid. 🤩
Cheers Stevie.
great idea for a video my friend nice to see you again. hope all is well and thankyou from the sunny south side
Many thanks.
@@EdExploresScotland awk its always nice when one of your videos pops up i look forward to them

Thank you. May wear those boots again, the ones that aren't made for walking. Had to wait until my feet recovered.
Fantastic Eddy.

Oh to be transported back in time.

I wonder if James Aitken was related to the Aitkens in Falkirk who had a famous brewery right up until the sixties. ?
Yes, that's certainly an interesting thought. How many James Aitkens brewing beer were there in the old days?
Canny be that many Ed, would be a crazy coincidence @@EdExploresScotland
Great stuff, as slways
Cheers. 👍
Cheers to you, Ed 🍻💞
And you.
It's fascinating how in the early days of the industrial revolution, a factory would be built in the grounds of a grand house, complete with extensive gardens and bowling green.

Such a shame that all those fascinating and varied old brewers have gone.
They like a gargle in Glasgow!
