Visit Carlsberg & Jacobsen 

The Jacobsen brewhouse - named after Carlsberg's founder JC Jacobsen - is located in a building dating from 1878 in the old part of the Carlsberg brewery.

The brewhouse is right at the heart of the Carlsberg Visitors Centre, which attracts around 150,000 visitors every year. The Visitors Centre was modernised in 2005 and will take you through the Carlsberg history using effects of sound, lighting and aromas. 

You can also see a copy of The Little Mermaid statue and visit the largest bottle collection in the world, displaying more than 16,600 different kinds of beer bottles.

Jacobsen - a brewhouse and a range of speciality beer
The Jacobsen brewhouse is an expression of our ambitious plans for the development and marketing of uncompromising speciality beers and serves as a living embodiment of Carlsberg's cultural history.

The brewhouse's first products were Bramley Wit, Brown Ale, Saaz Blonde and Original Dark Lager and it's continually developing new types of beer, such as Camomile Dubbel.

A range of experimental brews under the name 'Jacobsen Limited Edition', has also been produced. These products are available exclusively at the brewhouse bar and at the souvenir shop.

"We want to give people new taste experiences, and we want to challenge and develop beer culture. It's about making the most of what nature has to offer," says brewmaster Morten Ibsen, head of the brewhouse.
