Tuborg Brewery

The boiler house after the capture of Schalburg by Tuborgs Brewery’s in 1945.

During the Occupation, because of his Jewish background, Einar Dessau had to flee to Sweden in November 1943, where he joined the resistance work. After the war, he resumed his position at Tuborg.

In the last year of the war, Tuborg's boiler house became the 5. January blown up at schalburgtage, but beer deliveries could still be continued the next day thanks to outside help.

The Tuborg bottle from 1888 still stands as a landmark in Hellerup.

Outside of Denmark, Tuborg's export beer is a well-known brand. Local production also takes place. The Tuborg brand is particularly strong in the eastern European markets. In 2000, Tuborg was represented on 104 markets worldwide, primarily with Guld Tuborg.

The Pilsner Grøn Tuborg is one of Denmark's most popular beers, and the international version of the beer also does well in around 70 countries, especially Turkey, Sweden and Germany and a total growth of 17% in 2006. April 2007, Tuborg was launched on the competitive British market. Tuborg is the largest licensed beer brand in Russia.

In Denmark, Tuborg is brewed by Carlsberg Denmark, and is available in approximately 10 types, while abroad it is mostly only covered by Gold Tuborg and Green Tuborg.

Tuborg Green has been produced since 1880, and is the best-selling beer among young people in Denmark. It was the country's first "real" lager.

Introduced in 1880 as the first pilsner beer in Denmark. In 1915, the label was given a crown on top, on the occasion that the brewery had become Kgl. Court supplier. The Tubor'gram, informative and entertaining neck labels, were introduced in 1958. They gave Grøn Tuborg the nickname "the high school boy".

On 28 September 1970, the festive Perikles tins went on sale in Denmark.

The changes on the Tuborg Grøn label are happening slowly but surely. During the spring of 1996, the Green label was changed. The chest label is now printed in silver on the crown and on the finishing edge around the green, as is the "name plate" finish and the typography has been tightened up.

The next tightening took place in 2002 in connection with the reintroduction of the can.

After approximately four years, when the middle background has been moved in, the "Tuborg" background is opened again towards the sides of the label in 2006. At the same time, silver edges have been added. But the most surprising thing is that the old label, where Tog F is written together, has again had a renaissance - both on the neck and chest label, and also on foreign labels (2005). The green waves of the Danish neck label have also been straightened out and replaced by straight lines.

Introduced in 2022.

Began as a festival beer on tap. In 2015, in a can and later also in a bottle in pubs.

Tuborg Classic was introduced to the market on 1 February 1993 to mark the brewery's 120th anniversary. The beer is a darker pilsner type with 4.6% alcohol, which is marketed with the slogan "A little more of everything..." The product was a success and has been part of the product range ever since and is today one of Tuborg's best-selling brands in Denmark.

Tuborg Gold is a strong lager with an alcohol strength of 5.6%. The beer was originally developed for export and was launched in Denmark in 1895.

Tuborg Gold - Tuborg Beer - Gold Tuborg - The golden lady Sold in Denmark since 1895. Brewed on pilsner malt. The first cans were delivered on 15 July 1954 for export according to Tuborg Posten Oct. 1954 page 10.

From the 1950s, The Golden Lady was marketed by Danish models. Among them was Anette Strøyberg (1936-2005).

The line between Tuborg and Beer has been in one or two. Here, Arne Dahl has made two proposals from which you could choose.

Tuborg Julebryg saw the light of day in 1981. It is a darker and slightly stronger beer (5.6% alcohol) than the traditional lager and Tuborg Christmas brew comes in a dark version and also in a light version (5.6% alcohol). Marketing and image are everything for Tuborg Christmas brew, which is also known colloquially as the snowman. A whole tradition has grown up around the day of the arrival of this year's Christmas brew. The day is called J-day or the day "the snow falls". Tuborg Julebryg is still one of the most popular Christmas brews in Denmark, even though in blind tests it is always placed among the worst scoring beers, and still loses market share to the smaller breweries. Tuborg Julebryg was originally a mixture of KB Juleøl, Rød Tuborg and Fine Festival and was introduced because in 1979 Tuborg introduced its now well-known snow universe on a Christmas card for ordinary Green Tuborg with the slogan "Merry Christmas and good Tub'år". In 1980, the image was used as a poster on beer trucks and in 1981 as a label for the newly launched Christmas beer, Tuborg Christmas brew, which is known from the cinema advertisement with Santa Claus in the can.

Julebryg - Snebajer / Christmas Brew Introduced 1981. Originally a mixture of KB Juleøl, Rød Tuborg and FF. The beer was introduced because an advertisement featuring Santa Claus in a can was shown in the cinemas the year before. The commercial became so popular that Tuborg decided to make a beer with a label that resembled the universe from the commercial. Plaque bottle introduced 2001, blue plastic bottle introduced 2002 Exported or licensed brewed in Russia, Germany and Romania, among others.

Introduced with a label similar to the Danish Julebryg, but the strength is not the same.

Rød Tuborg was the very first beer Tuborg Bryggerierne produced. It hit the streets for the first time in 1875. The beer was originally sold as "Lagerøl", but was popularly called "Red", which at some point became the beer's official name.

Rød Tuborg is produced in accordance with the original recipe as a dark bottom-fermented beer from four types of malt: Munich, Pilsner, caramel and colored malt. No raw fruit is used in the beer. Today it has an alcohol strength of 4.3%.

Due to falling sales, Rød Tuborg was taken out of production in 2002, but relaunched in May 2007 to mark the brewery's birthday. The beer has since been sent to stores in May to mark the birthday.

Tuborg Red was the first beer brewed by the company, in 1875.[5] Tuborg Red is not brewed regularly but is produced once each May to salute the company's birthday.[6] The brewery has distributed Tuborg Squash since 1936.[7][8]

The beer type has been sold in Denmark since 1875. Brewed from a large proportion of Munich malt as well as pilsner malt, caramel malt and colored malt.

The first brew hit the streets on 13 July 1875. In 1923, the name Rød was added, but the chest label was still called Lager Øl. According to the book "Tuborg Øl" on the occasion of the brewery's 100th birthday in 1973, Tuborg had in 1924 developed a new lager product - the red Tuborg, so the question is whether Red Tuborg is exactly the same as Lager Øl from before 1923.

Rød Tuborg was released as a regular commercial beer in 2002. Reintroduced on 27 April 2007 on the occasion of Tuborg Brewery's birthday. However, only in limited quantities and with the plan to be on the market for a month. It can conceivably be continued as a birthday beer every April-May.
