As of April 1, 2009 the Carlsberg group brands are distributed by Beverage Alliance, importing Carlsberg beer directly from Denmark. However, Carlsberg has been available in the US for several decades.
The USA beer market is one of the biggest markets in the world. It has been dominated by two brewing giants, Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors, but recently small "hand crafted" beers from local breweries have been attracting a growing following.
American consumers can choose from the Carlsberg port folio, including Carlsberg Green Label (in bottles and kegs), Carlsberg Elephant - or they can go for one of the other high quality brands; Kronenbourg 1664, Tetley’s English Ale or Okocim.
