What we have not confirmed

The owner, the UK rights holder and both strengths are confirmed. We have not confirmed whether Tuborg in the UK is imported from Denmark or brewed at Northampton. The only pack wording we have found is a convenience-store listing (AppyShop) that prints 'Produce of the EU' with Carlsberg UK's Northampton address, which says neither Denmark nor Britain. The Morning Advertiser (June 2026) says Northampton brews Tuborg, and CAMRA's report 'Beer in the UK' (July 2026, edited by Tim Webb) lists it among lagers produced in the UK without a source. When we last looked (9 September 2026), Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Bestway did not list it. A can or keg label with a clear origin would settle it.

If you have a can or bottle to hand, the producer's name and address in the small print would settle it.

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Tuborg Green is brewed. It is sold as a beer from Denmark. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. The UK strength on record is 4.6%. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
