Carlsberg Lager

Carlsberg is one of the most recognized beer brands globally, originating from Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded by J.C. Jacobsen in 1847, it has grown from a local brewery into a massive international conglomerate. The flagship Carlsberg Lager is famous for its 'pilsner' style and the development of pure yeast culture, which revolutionized the brewing industry.

Today, Carlsberg is brewed in over 140 different markets worldwide through a vast network of local breweries and licensed production facilities. While its heart remains in Denmark, the beer found on shelves in various regions is often produced locally to ensure freshness and reduce environmental impact.

The brand is owned by the Carlsberg Group, which remains headquartered in Copenhagen. The majority of the company's voting power is held by the Carlsberg Foundation, established by the founder to ensure the brewery's commitment to science and quality continues. The group manages a diverse portfolio of over 500 different beer brands, making it one of the top four largest brewing companies in the world.
