3 Ballingall's cans from the Dundee Brewery
Over 30 years ago when I was reading "A
History of The Brewing Industry in Scotland" by Ian Donnachie,
there I learned that Ballingall's in a deal with Drybroughs
Brewery, Edinburgh
had canned a couple of beers at Drybroughs as they
were doing the bottling for the Dundee brewery at that time, this was in
late 1958 or early 1959.
It was a great surprise to find images of the 3 can
in a YouTube video by "The Beer Collector" of a Chicago area show click
HERE to see the video at about 0:19 / 4:29.

Hugh Tennent and his Monkey's
Following on from the Tennent's new
advertising campaign - which features some very funny adverts
featuring the slightly mad
Hugh Tennent - here we have an example of
what one of his famous cans might have looked like with his
favourite monkey.

Tennent's Promotional Can
It's the start of the new football season, both
Rangers and Celtic have Tennent's as their sponsors.
Back in 1991 a can was produced for a promotional
event between Rangers and Tennent's, something fell through, they were
sponsored
by McEwan's and it was the cup competition sponsored
by Tennent's hence they never made it onto the market,
this can was
kindly donated by Mr R. Finlay and came from the Crown Cork factory in
Livingston.

A Little Help
Required
|
As I mentioned above I have referred to the Lager Lovelies book while
doing much of my research in to Scottish cans in general.
You will notice that there are 3 new pages on the site. They are still
under construction so keep coming back to see how they are progressing.
With the Scottish series cans, I need you to supply me with info on
cans that you know about and even to supply pictures of them - I will post any that I get
and put you name on the credits page.
Any comments will be much appreciated.

New Features
|
You may have noticed the newer green buttons on the
left. These are links to pages that will eventually show all of the
Scottish beer cans that are in my own collection and others that I know
about. This will take a while to complete as there are 2000 can
variations that I have come across - keep checking back to see how I am
getting on.
Any comments or help with pictures of cans that that
I have not shown will be much appreciated.
