Somersby (marketed as Somersby Cider in English speaking countries) is a brand of 4.5% abv cider by Danish brewing company Carlsberg Group. Developed in 2008,[1] it was originally developed for the Danish market, but today has been launched in more than 46 markets, including all of Europe, Israel, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Canada, Sweden, Sri Lanka, South Africa, the United States and Laos.[2] Of the world's ten biggest cider brands, Somersby was the one that grew most in 2012.[2]

In 2012, Carlsberg UK developed and introduced a new version of Somersby Cider specific to the United Kingdom market. Somersby Cider UK is a 4.5% ABV medium dry cider with no artificial flavours or sweeteners.[3]

Despite its Danish origin , the cider is marketed in many territories as being the creation of "Lord Somersby", a fictional English Lord.[4][5]
