Tuborg is a Danish beer brewing company which was founded in 1873 and financed by Carl Frederik Tietgen, focusing on the pilsner style for the Danish market during its early history. It merged with United Breweries in 1894, which then entered into a profit-sharing agreement with Carlsberg in 1903. In 1970, United Breweries was finally acquired by Carlsberg.
Today, they make a lager for global export, as well as a variety of continental styles for both domestic and foreign markets.
The company has recently entered into the Irish market, and have released their pilsner beer in a "six for seven" format which has been proving popular in the country, Dutch Gold being the other prominent "six for seven" beer in Ireland.
