Gorkha Brewery Pvt Ltd, brewers of two Danish beers, Carlsberg and Tuborg, has been awarded the "Carlsberg Golden Words Award 2000" by its parent company. Company sources say the award is in recognition of Gorkha Brewery's ability to maintain the "high standards and uniform quality" the two brands take pride in.

Carlsberg is brewed in 66 countries and the award goes to breweries outside Denmark. In Nepal the two brands are jointly produced by Carlsberg and the Khetan Group. The venture claims to have a 60 percent market share, soon to be bolstered by a planned take-over of another Nepali brewery.
