tennents wellpark brewery

I really enjoyed my visit to the Wellpark brewery. The tour was detailed and informative. It felt like a real beind the scenes tour that shows the inner workings of the brewery. One of the best things about the tour was the guide, Marco, who really knew his stuff. More than that though he had an obvious passion for the company/product and that added to the event. The beer tasting at the end was great too and it was good to watch the Tennent's TV adverts from over the years.The tour isn't that expensive and it's really worth doing whether you live in or are visiting Glasgow. Would defintley recommend.

My girlfriend and I showed up for the last on Sunday evening and to our surprised we were the only 2 that turned up. Our tour guide, Marco, gave us an excellent informal tour despite the fact that he probably could have gone home if we hadn't shown up! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining the tour was great value at £5 for students. i would recommend this tour to anyone!

Hi Aly, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us at The Wellpark Brewery. We value every review we receive and make sure we use it constructively.To begin with, I apologise that your tour didn't meet your expectations, and I can understand that it can be disappointing not being able to see the live production. Unfortunately, the production is limited over the festive period, nonetheless the guides' commentary is the same at every occasion.As for the Tour guide, it is not often that they use the microphones when production is off, as it is only needed when loud, heavy machinery is being used around you. However, we will ensure that the tour guides ask if the group is able to hear clearly or if they wish the tour guide to use the headphones.Thank you for that comment.As for the tour guide accent, I’m sure you’ll agree that the Glasgow tongue isn't the easiest of voices to understand if you are from another country. All our tour guides have been informed to speak a bit more slowly as many of our guests do not speak the native tongue, however we understand that it can still be difficult to take in word for word!With your comment regarding the stairs, we understand your frustration with not knowing this beforehand, however we see this as fundamental information and have it stated clearly on our website. We can accommodate for guests in wheelchairs by creating tours with alternative routes, giving them access to other areas of our brewery, as we did in the past. Although this is our pride to be the Europe's largest multistorey brewing operation, it must be taken into consideration when booking onto the tour. We’re glad you enjoyed the tasting after the tour was over. We love giving guests the chance to taste a range of our products, including the Tennent’s Extra 9.3% which is exceptionally popular in Italy. We agree that it wouldn't be difficult to feel a bit of a head rush after sampling it - it’s probably for the best that it can’t be purchased in bulk in Scotland! Finally, many many thanks for your positive comments regarding our staff. We really do see it as a priority to warmly welcome all of our guests and help everyone out as much as possible. I’ll be passing on the message to our tour guide that he was received well, but I’ll also be telling him to work on that accent of his! Many thanks again for your review, and we hope to see you again when our production is in full swing.Tennent's Tours

Attended a weekend tour of the well park over the christmas period - overall it was well worth it.The guide flowed through the tour perfectly and learned a lot of new facts about how the beer got its name and how the Wellpark Brewery has evolved over the decades.Lots of memorabilia on display and TV's playing all the famous adverts from years gone by.Plant itself was not in operation being the weekend which may disappoint some but still impressive to see...Nice pint of T at the end of the tour and the opportunity to sample some of their Export Lager - Great Stuff.

My husband and I have just attended the Tennents brewery tour. We had a great time and can't believe we have both lived in Glasgow all our lives and never done it. Our tour guide Marco was good fun, friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend.
