“Then the price went up to £3 but we struggled on. But now, Teviot have decided to swap Tennent's out in favour of Carling with no plan of bringing Tennent's back. I know, I'm as shocked as you.

EUSA responded to the petition via a video on its Facebook page with the president, Andrew Wilson, claiming “You spoke, we listened.”

Alan McGarrie, Group Brand Director at Tennent’s Lager, said “It’s amazing to see the reaction and support from the students of Edinburgh, and fans across Scotland including Big Juicy Appreciation Society, who have all rallied together all in the name of Tennent’s Lager. Congratulations Iain, a job well done. Cheers!”
