What is Carlsberg Beer?
Carlsberg Beer is a pale lager that originated in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the Carlsberg brewery was founded. It pours a clear golden colour, with a foamy white head and fine bubbles.
Light-bodied and refreshing, it is usually served well chilled. In Denmark it is a familiar choice in bars and at social gatherings, often alongside everyday meals; elsewhere, it also pairs easily with grilled food, burgers or savoury snacks. At 43 calories per 100 g, it is relatively light compared with many richer drinks, but it still contains alcohol. If you avoid alcohol or want a lighter option, choose a non-alcoholic beer instead, and consider serving it with water.
