Somersby Lite Apple Cider

Somersby Apple Cider is a premium fruit cider brand that was originally developed by the Danish brewing giant Carlsberg Group in 2008. Although the name 'Somersby' sounds English and evokes a traditional British countryside feel, the brand was actually created in Denmark for the international market. Since its launch, it has become one of the most successful international cider brands in the world, available in over 50 countries.

The product is manufactured in multiple locations worldwide, typically produced in local Carlsberg breweries or under license by regional partners to meet local demand. This localized production helps maintain freshness and reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping. The brand is consistently positioned as a refreshing, easy-drinking alternative to beer and wine.

As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Carlsberg Group, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. Carlsberg is one of the leading brewery groups globally, overseeing a vast portfolio of beer and beverage brands. In many markets, the brand is distributed directly by Carlsberg subsidiaries or designated local beverage partners.
