Tuborg: any good?

corblimey · 27-03-2006 3:11pm #1

I see my local Tesco have untold boxes of Tuborg for sale. I remember some dangerously naff ads for it a few years back, but have heard nothing since. How does it compare to Stella, or more likely 'biere de France'

I think it's grand. It's one of the alright cheap beers. I still rather Dutch Gold but that's probably due to a force of habbit more than anything. I think Hackenberg is teh best of them but Tuborg is nicer than Hollandia or any of the cheap own brand stuff.

its basically carlsberg. i actually prefer it to most budget beers

Totally agree - 6 cans for €7!! You can't beat that for value.

O'Briens used to do Bavaria for €1 a can.
Now it's horrbile holandia.
Aldi had a special on Tennants there a while back, think it was 89c a can.

not a huge fan of the ould Turbo (Tuborg). I kinda find it a bit too gassy. I'm a bavaria fan for the cheap stuff.

Tuborg is awesome! Best budget beer out there imo

Totally agree!!!

And I don't think it tastes like Carlsberg at all even though they are from the same company.

This stuff used to be sold as a premium larger across Europe and it still amazes me that it is now classed as a budget beer here. A very decent drink and better that many of the dearer cans on the shelf. Doesn't compare to Spaten though but is about 1/3 the price.

Your right C Fodder, while interrailling in Europe two years ago Tuborg was sold as a premium beer in many places. In the trains they had Tuborg Special, which was nice tasting and high percentage beer. It is a very nice beer and usually my tipple of choice when I am headed over to the lads house for a night in and a few beers.

frobisher · 03-04-2006 8:36pm

It's made in Copenhagen by the same company as Carlsbreg. Over there it is regarded as verybit as good as Carlsberg and it isn't a budget beer in the slightest. I personally don't like it very much. I find it too gassy and not smooth enough. Just like Carlsberg.

Civilian_Target · 04-04-2006 10:12am

Tuborg is pretty tasty. One of the best budget beers out there.

jdivision · 04-04-2006 10:20am

Tuborg depends on where it's brewed. It's made under licence in a lot of places so its taste varies. I've had mixed experience but I don't like the one sold here. Agree on Tuborg Special, much nicer beer. In Copenhagen they have four different types of Carlsberg and all of them were nicer than the stuff sold here by Guinness.

both equally crap adverts

However....

Not the Bavaria we know here in Ireland but none the less a good ad

for 6 cans for €7 its great stuff.

bartal · 05-04-2006 9:09am

Tuborg is a deffo goer, have relations in Holstebro in Jutland, and Tuborg is the big one up there, best thing over there is it's about 16 quid a case of 24 and when you return your empties you get an 8 quid refund.

Zebra3 · 09-04-2006 7:36pm

If you like Tuborg, you should try the Tuborg Guld and their Christmas beer. Hmmmm....heaven!

I don't know where this is coming from, I don't find it anything like Carlsberg. Also, I can't stand Carlsberg, but I'll heartily guzzle a €7 6-pack of Tuborg any day.

I never understand how it's so cheap in Ireland, savage value. Dutch Gold and co. are cheap, but Tuborg is inexpensive.

Pepe LeFrits · 20-04-2006 8:52pm

Ah, Tuborg, the beer of Danish kings.

Manolo Blahnik · 20-04-2006 9:13pm

Tastes like money... :eek:

kano476 · 21-04-2006 6:39pm

used to drink tubey for a while i cant drink it now the ends of it are cack! i used to get some weird chest pains off it aswell ( i didnt smoke at the time) so i gave it up. i drink hackenberg now 9 cans for 11 euro its lovely stuff! ive only seen it in my local londis though never anywhere else its 5% and stays nice till the end.

Had dutch the other night and i wouldnt be a fan of it not great. Bavaria's quite nice also.

sound_wave · 26-04-2006 8:48pm

Almost forgot about this but Aldi are doing a Tubrog special tomorrow, 24 bottles €20. Seems like a good deal to me

Its on sale on draught in my local €3 a pint must sample it sometime the cheap price is the only thing putting me off if its too good to be true it usually is syndrome i guess

johnnyskeleton · 10-01-2012 12:40am

Why all these 6 year old thread being ressurected?

Martyn1989 · 10-01-2012 1:02am

I drink it in cans the odd time, its grand for the price just a bit bland.

We sell it for €3.25 a pint where I work and it pours well and looks alright and sells alot better then fosters which is available at the same price.

I think the tuborg sold here and the tuborg held in high regard abroad are different though.
