== About Carlsberg Group ==
 
== About Carlsberg Group ==
The Carlsberg Group is a Danish brewing company founded in 1847 by J. C. Jacobsen in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen Copenhagen], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark Denmark]. Carlsberg Beer is the company's flagship brand. Other famous beverages produced by Carlsberg are Tuborg, Kronenbourg, Somersby Cider, Baltika (a Russian beer) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimbergen_%28beer%29 Belgian Grimbergen] abbey beers. Carlsberg also produces more than 500 local beers. In 2001, Carlsberg merged with the brewery assets of Norwegian conglomerate [http://www.orkla.com/ Orkla ASA] and thus became the 4th largest brewing company in the world by 2009, and the leading beer producer in Russia. The founder [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Jacobsen J. C. Jacobsen] was a philanthropist and art collector. He was able to assemble an impressive art collection. The collection is now exhibited in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in central Copenhagen. In 1875 Jacobsen also set up the Carlsberg Laboratory. Scientific research related to brewing was done there. In 1972 it was renamed the Carlsberg Research Center. Since 1970 Carlsberg has been buying up other breweries (Tuborg breweries in 1970, Scottish & Newcastle in 2008, Olympic Brewery in 2014) and merging (Tetley in 1992, Orkla ASA in 2001) with others.
