From a small craft brewery in Valby, Copenhagen, to a big international beer company with the world’s first industrial research lab. Carlsberg’s founder J. C Jacobsen’s journey from home brewer to successful beer visionary placed him and the Carlsberg brewery on the map in the fields of both research and innovation.

This year it is 175 years since Jacobsen started the journey of Carlsberg, that now has become one of the most successful international breweries in the world. His pioneering spirit has ever since been a true inspiration for the brewmasters that followed in his footsteps and continued to develop Probably The Best Beer in the World. To celebrate Carlsberg’s 175th jubilee three exclusive brews that really pushes the boundaries of brewing are launched. All developed in the Carlsberg Research Laboratory.

Carlsberg Brut Beer

Brewed with wheat malt and Montrachet yeast from Carlsbergs’ own collection which gives the beer an elegant, sparkly, dry and smooth touch. Yuzu, grapefruit and rose water gives a great balance and a uniquely crisp and refreshing finish. A different beer for special occasions.

Carlsberg Wheat Lager

100% wheat malt. 0% barley malt. Theoretically impossible? Probably. A smooth and wine-ish beer brewed with all wheat malt and dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops.

Carlsberg Barrel Aged Lager

Lagered in barrels from Danish Whiskey brand Stauning for 175 days to give it a refined, rich and peaty taste. It has a complex character and is golden in colour.

The three brews have been made available in numerous markets around the Globe as limited editions.
