Carlsberg Group

Carlsberg was born in Denmark in 1847, thanks to J.C Jacobsen, who brewed Denmark’s first ever beer using a yeast that became the basis for many modern-day imitations. In fact, almost all modern-day lagers are derived from the original yeast used to brew Carlsberg, Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis.
Jacobsen named the brew after his son (Carl) and the Danish word for hill (berg), after the hill on which the brewery sits. Carlsberg is now a regular in millions of bars across 140 countries worldwide (now that calls for a Carlsberg!).
