Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group. The brewery's flagship, the Tuborg pilsner, was brewed for the first time in 1880.

History

The name Tuborg comes from Thuesborg ("Thue's castle"), a Copenhagen inn from the 1690s situated in the area of the brewery. This evolved and was adopted into local placenames, such as Lille Tuborg and Store Tuborg.[2] Tuborgvej in Copenhagen is named after the site of the original Tuborg brewery.

Philip Heyman (5 November 1837 – 15 December 1893) was a Danish-Jewish industrialist who co-founded in 1873 the Tuborg Brewery, together with C. F. Tietgen, Gustav Brock [da] and Rudolph Puggaard. After Heyman's death, the Tuborg Brewery merged with "De Forenede Bryggerier" in 1894,[citation needed] which through this way entered into a profit-sharing agreement with Carlsberg in 1903.[citation needed] In the company, after the founder's death, the CEO was his Jewish son-in-law, Benny Dessau, and was then run by his widow and also his son Aage Philip Heyman.

Beers

Tuborg sells a variety of beers in over 31 countries. These varieties include Tuborg Green, Tuborg Lemon, Tuborg Christmas beer, Tuborg Gold, Tuborg Red, Tuborg Twist, Tuborg Black, and Tuborg Fine Festival.

Tuborg Red was the first beer brewed by the company, in 1875.[3] Tuborg Red is not brewed regularly but is produced once each May to salute the company's birthday.[4] The brewery has distributed Tuborg Squash since 1936.[5][6]

Marketing

In 1990 Tuborg launched their annual Christmas brew on the second Wednesday in November, with the marketing term "J-day"; "snestorm" (blizzard) and "snefald" (snowfall) are also used. 'J' stands for Jul (Christmas) or julebryg (Christmas brew). Similarly, there is a P-day for påskebryg (Easter brew). In 1999, J-day moved to the first Friday in November. Traffic police laid out an alcohol control plan for that evening.[7][8] In 2009 J-day was moved again to the last Friday in October,[9] but in 2010 it returned to the first Friday in November.

Sponsorships

In 2008, Tuborg announced a sponsorship deal with Reading and Leeds music festivals to become their exclusive Official Beer Partner, a position held in previous years by Carling. In 2009, it also arranged an exclusive deal with The Download festival to be the official beer and have a dedicated stage named after the beer.[10]

Tuborg also sponsors the Tuborg Image Awards, an annual music award presentation that takes place in Nepal.[11]
