A question for British DUers

[Fenris]

I watch a lot of soccer (football, as it's known everywhere else in the world) and I always take note of the companies and products I see advertised on the field or on jerseys. Some, of course, show up frequently, like Vodafone and the point of this post, Carlsberg. I understand that Carlsberg is a type of beer, but I find it strange that I had never heard of it before watching matches. There are plenty of British alcoholic imports, but this one seems overly popular (or perhaps just well advertised) in Britain, yet I have never encountered it in America. So, what is the deal with Carlsberg and why have I never seen it over here? And why does it seem so popular in Britain?

1. isn't it a Danish beer??

2. I've had Carlsberg over here.

I believe it is a Danish Lager.

3. I used to live near a huge Carlsberg brewery near the Humber river

but I cannot explain why it isn't as popular over here :shrug:

4. It's Danish. Drank it in Germany, not sure if it's available in the US

Even if it is it wouldn't necessarily be widely advertised. Bitburger is big in Germany, and I while I can find it pretty easily in the US it's not a big name.

5. It's popular because it's good!

7. I can get Carlsberg at my corner packie

Packie for package store, which is MassSpeak for "liquor store".

Good stuff, too.

8. It's a lager

from Denmark. Personally, I don't think you're missing anything but that's probably because I dislike lagers in general.
