Carlsberg from Denmark

デンマークを代表するブランド、カールスバーグです。創業者のクリスチャン・ヤコブセンは元々ユトランド半島で農業を営んでいましたが、1801年、コペンハーゲンに移り住みます。当時、上面発酵が主流であったデンマークで、下面発酵の新しいビール(ラガービール)が主流になりつつある時期。科学技術が新しいビールを可能にすると、ミュンヘンのスパーテンビールに研修に行かせていた彼の息子ヤコブ・クリスチャン・ヤコブセンを呼び戻し、ビール作りを始めます。1845年に再度息子を酵母を得るためドイツに行かせますが、冷やした状態で酵母を持ちかえるため、何度も井戸水を交換、数週間かけて持ち帰えり、ラガービールの醸造に成功したという逸話があります。ヤコブはその後、より大きな醸造所を建設、その場所が丘(デンマーク語でバーグ)で、ヤコブの息子の名前(カール)にちなんで、カールスバーグとなりました。カールスバーグはビール醸造に限らず、慈善事業も展開、また美術館も立ちあげました。デンマークで有名な人魚姫の像も彼が寄贈したものです。


Talking of Danish beer, it's Carlsberg. Mr. Cristian Jacobsen, the founder of Carlberg brewery, was a farmer in Jutland then transferred to CPH (Copenhagen) in 1801.The trend of beer was about to be replaced top fermentation style by lower fermentation style at that time. Thus he was convinced that science and technology must to be possible the new style beer then sent Jacob Crostian Jacobsen, his son to SPATEN brewery in Munich for his study and started brewery when he came back. Jacob went to Germany again in 1845 in order to get yeast. It was actually hard trip as it took for 6 months and the yeast should be kept cool for the quality therefore he was obliged to keep it cool with underground water. Finally he succeeded to brew the new style beer (lager beer) as Danish commercialized brand then established bigger brewery at the new land. The beer brand was named "Carlsberg" from the new land was at Berg which is hill in Danish and Carl which is Jacob's son name. By the way, it is very famous story that The Little Mermaid's statue was presented by him.
