Tennent Caledonian is a brewing company based in Glasgow, Scotland.

It was founded in 1740 on the bank of the Molendinar Burn by Hugh and Robert Tennent.[1] It is owned by C&C Group plc, which purchased the Tennent Caledonian Breweries subsidiary in 2009,[2] from Belgian brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev (formerly known as InBev).[3]

The company produces Tennent's Lager, Scotland's market leading brand of pale lager, first brewed at the Wellpark Brewery in 1885.
