In 1875, the year before the establishment of the Carlsberg Foundation, J.C. Jacobsen founded the Carlsberg Research Laboratory to bring a scientific approach to brewing and ensure higher and more consistent beer quality. It was at the laboratory that the pH scale was developed and a method for purifying brewer’s yeast was invented. To this day, the laboratory continues to conduct groundbreaking research of a high international standard. Explore some of its discoveries and meet the researchers behind them here.
