Tuborg Red was Tuborg's very first beer, originally brewed for the first time in 1875 under the name lager beer. It quickly was given the nickname 'Tuborger.' Later, the brew became popularly know as 'Red' and before long, lager beer was never called anything other than Red Tuborg. Red Tuborg is a dark, bottom-fermented lager beer that comes from Barvaria in Germany. Red Tuborg is a so-called all-malt beer, meaning that only malt and no raw grains (maize) are used. Four types of malt is used: münchener malt, pilsner malt and a bit of caramel and color malt. Together, these ingredients give the Tuborg yeast the distinctive reddish color, a very rich flavor and a rich foam. Ever since 1875, the Red Tuborg recipe has stayed the same.
