Jacobsen throughout our history of more than 170 years. From our yeast and barley to our packaging and glassware, we believe it must always be possible to do things better, hence the introduction of a new look and feel for Carlsberg that represents our ongoing commitment to do so.”

“Loyal Carlsberg drinkers can rest assured that while the brand looks modern and new, our beer is still brewed with the same natural ingredients and same attention to quality that gives Carlsberg that same great taste.

What are Carlsberg’s new “betterments”?

FRESHER (更保鲜)

For Carlsberg in bottles, we created a cleverly-designed Fresh Cap that removes oxygen from the headspace in the bottle. You get a fresher taste for 5x longer!

BETTER (更优良)

The new Carlsberg stem glasses come engraved with a hop leaf-shaped nucleation stamp at the bottom, which generates more foam, helping to retain the aroma for longer

EASIER (更方便)

For Carlsberg in cans, we improved the pack with an Easy to Open feature, allowing consumers to open a 6-can pack of Carlsberg in no time!
