The Tuborgs Fabrikker first included a glass factory and a sulfuric acid works, but Heyman spun off all but the brewery in Tuborg's Green Label pilsner quickly established a strong reputation in Denmark. By Tuborg was the major partner in an affiliation of 11 Copenhagen breweries.
Carlsberg and Tuborg signed an operating agreement as early as , stating that they would share profits and deficits and contribute equally to financing new plants and installations. The two brands dominated the Danish beer market. Though Danes were dedicated beer drinkers, the market was relatively small, as the total Danish population was only around five million people. Carlsberg and Tuborg eventually decided to expand their sales outside the country.
After World War II, the two breweries began intensive marketing campaigns abroad. As a result, their exports tripled between and , and the two companies established breweries in other European countries and in Asia. To reinforce their growing export presence, Carlsberg and Tuborg combined under one name in , becoming United Breweries Ltd.
Under the terms of the charter, the Carlsberg Foundation was awarded a mandatory ownership of at least 51 percent of the shares of the new company. United Breweries continued to expand its business by penetrating foreign markets. One of its most important markets was Great Britain.
In the company set up a partnership with the British beer maker Watney to build a lager brewery at Northampton. This was United's biggest operation outside Denmark.
By the Carlsberg brand lager produced there accounted for about 14 percent of British lager sales. The Grand Metropolitan group took over Watney in , and in it sold its 49 percent interest in Carlsberg U. Grand Metropolitan continued to distribute Carlsberg lager through its 7, pub outlets. United Breweries took a different tack with its Tuborg brand, however. The largest British brewer, Bass Charington, distributed Tuborg, which was at first all imported directly from Denmark.
Tuborg then was brewed under license at four Bass breweries, but that agreement ended in United took back independent control of Tuborg marketing in Britain, hoping to increase sales. The company also intensified its drive to market Tuborg internationally and in licensed a Hungarian brewery to produce the lager there. United Brewery's two main brands were available in almost every European capital by the middle s.

Did you know that? The Copenhagen-based brand operates 75 breweries in 33 countries, employs upwards of 40, people, and produces hundreds of brands — including a famous lager from Brooklyn. From its founding in , to a TEDx talk led by its deceased founder in , here are eight more things you should know about Carlsberg.
Jacobsen founded Carlsberg outside Copenhagen in Carl is selling his beer under the Carlsberg name but much to his father's dissaproval, Carl produces a beer with a shorter storage time. This sparks a family feud between father and son. Jacobsen, who has his lawyers evict Carl from the Annex and legally attempts to limit his production capacity. He even tries to force Carl to change the name of his brewery.
Father and son eventually reconcile in October , just before J. Jacobsen's death. Jacobsen founds the Carlsberg Laboratory to study the malting, brewing and fermenting process. The Carlsberg Foundation is established to manage the Carlsberg Laboratory and to support Danish scientific research.
After falling out with his father, Carl Jacobsen sets up his new independent brewery New Carlsberg. By , professor Emil Christian Hansen develops the key to a perfectly consistent beer production. He discovers that organisms are composed of different fungi and that yeast culture can be cultivated.
He isolates a pure yeast culture and changes the concept of brewing forever. The method of cultivating pure yeast is worth a fortune and will revolutionise the quality of beer worldwide. But instead of keeping it secret, J. Jacobsen decides to give it away sharing his breakthrough with brewmasters around the world.
Maybe J. Jacobsen knew the original could never be beaten or maybe he knew in doing so, there would be a little bit of Carlsberg in a multitude of beers. Regardless of his reasons, original Carlsberg yeast is used on most of the single lagers that are crafted today.
His pioneering research has had a profound effect on beer and science. The pH scale has become the standard by which we determine how a liquid will react and interact with living organisms.
