Are you chaps still around Norway? I moved to Bergen last May and found some nice pubs with some fantastic beers (had to sell one my kidneys to buy them though).

Are you sure about this? Replicating a commercial standard lager is probably the hardest thing for a home brewer to do. Anyway, here is what I know about how Tennent's is brewed:

They don't use a decoction mash. It's an infusion at 65-66º. They use mash filters. (source: Tennents website)

The mash contains malt, wheat and maize but I don't know the proportions. Brew it for an initial ABV of 7.5%, bittering with pellet hops (possibly Hallertau) and iso-extract to 20 IBU. Ferment at 13º, cold-condition at -1º for two days and then liquor back to drinking strength. Aim for 5.4g/L of CO2 when carbonating. (source: information given on a brewery tour)

You won't be able to filter so your beer will probably have all sorts of off flavours.

wont be anything like proper tennants unless you print piccys of lager lovelies on the sides of the bottle
