Wellpark Brewery
The Wellpark Brewery is a brewery in east Glasgow below the Glasgow Necropolis . It is the seat of Tennent Caledonian Breweries UK Ltd .
The brewery was founded by Hugh and Robert Tennent in 1740. The brewery gained national fame from 1885 with the main product Tennent's Lager . This beer is the market leader in bottom-fermented beers in Scotland.
The old name J&R Tennent was changed to Tennent Caledonian Breweries in the 1960s after a change of ownership and a merger with an Edinburgh brewery . Today the brewery with an annual capacity of over 2,000,000 hl belongs to the C&C Group (including Magners ).
With the participation Drygate Brewing Company (a joint venture with Williams Bros ), the company has also been involved in the craft beer market at the same location since 2015 .
