OLD CARLSBERG
Approx. 45 min., max. 30 participants.
In 1847 J.C. Jacobsen founded an ambitious Lager beer brewery, but even he could not have guessed exactly how big Carlsberg would have grown by the time of his death, a mere 40 years later.
On this tour we take a look at the buildings which played a central role in J.C’s brewery, we greet the oldest remaining workforce on site, our horses and examine the everyday conditions for the workers on a brewery in a constant state of modernisation and development. Learn about J.C’s uncompromising approach to beer and life, peek into the oldest cellars underneath the brewery and finish up walking down “Old Carlsberg Road” to take an outside look at one of the things J.C. held dearest, The Carlsberg Research Centre.
Please note that the tour takes place outdoor.
