Gilde beer

Gilde is a historic beer brand with deep roots in Norwegian brewing culture. Originally produced by Arendals Bryggeri, a brewery founded in 1839 in Arendal, Norway, the brand has long been associated with traditional Norwegian pilsners and regional brewing excellence.

Over the decades, the ownership and production of Gilde have undergone transitions reflecting the consolidation of the Scandinavian beverage market. The brand was famously associated with the Ringnes group, Norway's largest brewer. Today, the brand's legacy continues under the stewardship of Ringnes AS, which operates as the primary distributor and producer within the Norwegian market.

Ultimately, Gilde falls under the umbrella of the Carlsberg Group, a Danish multinational company. Carlsberg acquired full control of Ringnes in 2004, integrating Norwegian brands like Gilde into its vast international portfolio while maintaining local production facilities to ensure the authenticity and quality expected by Norwegian consumers.
