Carlsberg
Founded in 1847 by J.C. Jacobsen in Copenhagen, Carlsberg is a pioneer of modern brewing science. Its uniqueness is rooted in the Carlsberg Laboratory, which discovered *Saccharomyces carlsbergensis* (the first pure lager yeast) and gave it away for free to other brewers. This 'scientific' approach continues today, with a focus on 'probably the best beer in the world.' It is a classic European pilsner, known for its balanced bitterness, light malty body, and clean, refreshing finish that has made it a global household name.
