These people make fine beer (Tuborg was the best cheap beer I ever had).

I also liked Tuborg beer, but I haven't seen it in decades. When it first appeared in this country around 1973, the radio ads said that it was "brewed light for American tastes," which I took to mean that it was watered down and that you would have to go to Copenhagen to get the real thing.

Probably, but for a poor college student in 1984, $1.79 for a six-pack of beer 10x as good as Blatz or "Red, White and Blue", and twice as good as Rheingold, was a godsend.

Back in '86, I worked with a group of Danish organbuilders who were installing a pipe organ (Frobenius). IIRC they bought a sixpack of Tuborg, and never bought another; it wasn't anything like the home stuff. They found a place that sold snaps, and drank that and vodka for the six weeks or so they were installing the organ. This messed with the Methodist congregation, since at that time Methodists were (still) teetotalers; God only knows what the heretical cult the UMC has become drinks now.
