The company is most noted for the production of ''Tennent's Lager'', Scotland's market leading brand of [[pale lager]] since it was first produced at the Wellpark Brewery in 1885.

==History==
Wellpark Brewery was originally known as the Drygate Brewery. It was founded as H&R Tennent in 1740 at Drygate Bridge, near [[Glasgow Cathedral]], by Hugh and Robert Tennent, although brewing had been taking place on the site on the banks of the [[Mol
iendinar Burn]] since 1556, making it the oldest continuous commercial concern in Glasgow. Hugh Tennent's sons, John and Robert, continued the family business, trading as J&R Tennent from 1769. The business expanded in the 1790s when the Tennent family purchased the neighbouring brewery of William McLehose, and renamed the {{convert|5|acre|m2|sing=on}} site Wellpark Brewery.<ref>
