Philip Heyman (5 November 1837 – 15 December 1893) was a Danish-Jewish industrialist who co-founded in 1873 the Tuborg Brewery, together with C. F. Tietgen, Gustav Brock [da] and Rudolph Puggaard.
After Heyman's death, the Tuborg Brewery merged with "De Forenede Bryggerier" in 1894,[citation needed] which through this way entered into a profit-sharing agreement with Carlsberg in 1903.
[citation needed] Benny Desau, Heyman's son-in-law, was a director of De Forenede Bryggerier, followed by his son Einar Dessau in 1919.
In 1990 Tuborg launched their annual Christmas brew on the second Wednesday in November, with the marketing term "J-day"; "snestorm" (blizzard) and "snefald" (snowfall) are also used.
[7] In 2008, Tuborg announced a sponsorship deal with Reading and Leeds music festivals to become their exclusive Official Beer Partner, a position held in previous years by Carling.
