Brewing Science & Technology

Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages and early Mesopotamian and Sumerian writings contain references to beer brewing. The reason for this is that brewing a beer is in principle quite simple as it can be done without using sophisticated equipment. However brewing the same beer at a consistent high quality day in and day out requires a very detailed knowledge about the entire brewing process,  the impact of equipment being used and the interaction with the raw materials.

Carlsberg Research Laboratory was instrumental in the development of brewing science technology during industrialization to ensure a high quality final product. Discoveries such as the purification of yeast, the role of enzymes and the pH scale made it possible for Carlsberg to brew beer at high and consistent level.
