Carlsberg
Carlsberg was founded in 1847 by J.C. Jacobsen on Valby Hill outside Copenhagen and named after his son Carl. In 1875 Jacobsen set up the Carlsberg Laboratory, where Emil Christian Hansen isolated a pure lager yeast in 1883 and made the method available to other brewers. The company headquarters remain in Valby, while the Danish beers are now brewed in Fredericia. Carlsberg Danmark is part of the Carlsberg Group, whose majority owner is the Carlsberg Foundation.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
