Carlsberg was founded by J. C. Jacobsen , a philanthropist  and avid art collector. With his fortune he amassed an impressive art collection which is now housed in theNy Carlsberg Glyptotek  in central Copenhagen. The first brew was finished on 10 November 1847, and the export of Carlsberg beer began in 1868 with the export of one barrel to Edinburgh , Scotland .[5]  Some of the company's original logos include an elephant, after which some of its lagers are named, and the swastika  whose use was discontinued in the 1930s because of its association with political parties in neighboring Germany.

Jacobsen's son Carl opened a brewery in 1882 named Ny (New) Carlsberg forcing him to rename his brewery Gamle (Old) Carlsberg. The companies were merged and run under Carl's direction in 1906 and remained so until his death in 1914.[5]

Jacobsen set up the Carlsberg Laboratory  in 1875, which worked on scientific problems related to brewing. It featured a Department of Chemistry and a Department of Physiology. The species of yeast used to make pale lager ,Saccharomyces carlsbergensis , was isolated by Emil Christian Hansen at the laboratory in 1883 and bears its name; this was shared freely by Carlsberg.[5]  The Carlsberg Laboratory also developed the concept of pH  and made advances in protein chemistry.[6]  In 1972, the Carlsberg Research Centre was established and the Carlsberg Laboratory is now an independent unit of the Centre.[7]

In 1876, J.C. Jacobsen established the Carlsberg Foundation, run by trustees from the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, which managed the Carlsberg Laboratory as well as supporting scientific research within the fields of natural sciences, mathematics, philosophy, the humanities and social sciences in Denmark. Because of a conflict with his son Carl, Jacobsen's brewery was left to the Foundation upon his death in 1887.[8]

The first overseas license for brewing was given to the Photos Photiades Breweries, and in 1966 Carlsberg glass and beer was brewed for the first time outside Denmark at the Photiades breweries in Cyprus. The first brewery to be built outside Denmark was in Blantyre, Malawi  in 1968.[5]

Carlsberg merged with Tuborg breweries in 1970 forming the United Breweries AS, and merged with Tetley  in 1992. Carlsberg became the sole owner of Carlsberg-Tetley in 1997.[5]

In 2008 Carlsberg Group, together with Heineken , bought Scottish & Newcastle , the largest brewer in the UK, for £7.8bn ($15.3bn).[9]

In 2013 the company joined leading alcohol producers as part of a producers' commitments  to reducing harmful drinking.[10]

In November 2014, Carlsberg agreed to take over Greece ’s third largest brewery, the Olympic Brewery , adding to its operations in the country already and effectively transforming the firm into the second biggest market player in Greece.[11]

The old brewery in Copenhagen is currently open for tours.[12]  Famous visitors have included Winston Churchill  in 1950,Queen Elizabeth II  in 1957,[5]  and Yuri Gagarin  in 1962.[13]
