IN THE BEGINNING . . .
Huron Indian myth has it that in ancient times, when the land was barren and the people were starving, the Great Spirit sent forth a woman to save humanity. As she traveled over the world, everywhere her right hand touched the soil, there grew potatoes. And everywhere her left hand touched the soil, there grew corn. And when the world was rich and fertile, she sat down and rested. When she arose, there grew tobacco . . .

J.C. Jacobsen
Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis
"For centuries, impurities in the Wild Yeasts required for brewing beer often destroyed the product. Fortunately, Emil Christian Hansen solved this problem in 1883 at the Carlsberg Laboratory, by perfecting a method to propogate pure yeast. This propogated yeast is appropriately named Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis, and Hansen's method of creating it is still used by breweries the world over."
This dedication to the craft of brewing beer, along with outstanding contributions to the worlds of architecture, science and sports, forms a history that sets Carlsberg apart from other breweries, and will continue to do so well into the future.
