Carlsberg

Craft beer is booming and this movement has been accompanied by the establishment of countless small microbreweries around the world. Breweries with fewer than 10 employees and an exclusive output of strictly limited edition beers are springing up like mushrooms. Some make it and are able to establish themselves in the highly competitive beer market, others have to give up the mash paddle again and leave the brewing to others. Among all the small breweries, there are some giants that exist and thrive independently of the fast-moving developments in the beer business. One of these institutions comes from Denmark and is known to every beer drinker: Carlsberg.

Scientific achievements from the brewery laboratory

The Danish major brewery was founded more than 150 years ago and is the mother of various smaller breweries and brands. Carlsberg not only produces traditionally good beer, but also a number of inventions that not only caused a stir in the beer world: the bottom-fermenting yeast Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis, for example, was bred in the brewery's laboratory and the pH scale, which is important in the brewing process, is also the responsibility of researchers back from Carlsberg. Carlsberg was one of the first breweries to set up an industrial research laboratory and was more than generous with the results discovered there. Anyone who wanted to could pick up their own ration of the yeast developed in the laboratory and use it to brew their own beer. As a global player with sufficient resources for research and experiments, Carlsberg has always had the responsibility to advance the brewing process and continues to live up to it today. Renowned brands such as Hamburger Astra, Brooklyn Brewery , Duckstein and Grimbergen are among Carlsberg's protégés and are promoted and supported by the large brewery.

Ideas for the future

For Carlsberg, beer is so much more than just beer: the brewery is dedicated to researching how to exploit beer's full potential and complement its function as a luxury food with countless other qualities. Sustainability plays a large role in all endeavors and is a priority in many areas of the process. For example, using young barley not only gives the beer a great taste, but also allows brewers to brew with regional raw materials. Barley could not previously be grown in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries because the summers are not long and warm enough for the grain to reach full maturity. However, if you use young, not fully ripened barley, it can also be grown in and around Denmark and you save long transport routes. Progress and innovation are the driving forces behind the daily work in the brewery, but what is most important to the brewers, researchers and employees is one thing: the outstanding taste of their beer.
