Tour - Really cozy and a visit each.
Very educational and a really nice exhibition.
You start with a taste sample and you end with a taste sample.
And a really cool exhibition of beer at last

A good walkthrough the history of Carlsberg and a pleasant surprise for all LFC supporters! - Enjoyed the interactive experiences at the exhibition, and understand the history of Carlsberg a little better, at least better than Heineken and Sapporo tours.
The exhibition of LFC and Carlsberg partnership is tremendous with a “dressing room” and many phototaking spots up for grabs!

Fantastic tour - We really loved this tour! We have been on many brewery tours, in many countries, and this was one of the best. On the tour, we walked all over Carlsberg city, learning about the science behind the beer, and the family history and drama. Our guide, Gustav, was fantastic. He knew so much about Carlsberg, and he seemed very passionate about the beer. The wonderful cold beer at the end of the tour was also very much appreciated!

Home of Carlsberg - We spent an afternoon here at the Carlsberg Brewery experience in Copenhagen. It is a perfect mix of culture, history, and, great beer. The tour takes you through the fascinating legacy of one of Denmark’s most Popular and old breweries.
We took the tour and visited from the original cellars, brewing process, and the history of Jacobsen Family. I highly recommend to take the tour which give a bit of history. The exhibits are well designed, interactive, and lot of surprising stories which were narrated in a humorous manner by the guide.
There is also o lot of old memorabilia and some good-looking horses and some vintage cars There is also a gift shop and choice of beer which you can enjoy. The bar area has been arranged in a very interesting manner and we could spend a relaxed after noon here.
We can easily spend two to three hours here. Whether you're a beer drinker or just curious about the Carlsberg heritage, this is a fun and interesting stop in Copenhagen. If you re planning to visit, I would recommend to visit in the afternoon and keep sufficient time so as to enjoy the place and have the choice of beer,

Enjoyable afternoon! - Spent an enjoyable afternoon here. The experience was straightforward and told the history of Carlsberg perfectly. The free pint at the end rounded of the experience.

Changes What A Museum Can Be - I had no idea how much we were going to enjoy this, or learn for that matter!
The recent renovation of this experience has paid off for an exhibition that has state-of-the-art interactive features which, amongst many other things, leave you realising the surprising amount Carslberg's laboratories have contributed to science and sustainability research, as well investment in community.
Yes, the free samples are very much welcome. However, this attraction makes sure that is just one part of this incredibly well thought-through self-guided tour built into the old brewery itself.
Special shout-out to Kian at the bar for his knowledge and enthusiasm, which added a personal touch and authenticity to the whole experience.
We had a great time!

New recipe - Very nice and satisfying visit, very friendly and prepared staff, despite a drunk vomited in my glass while I was back and none of those present deigned to warn me... the result? I tasted the vomit of the alcoholic.
Nevertheless I really enjoyed the visit and I would advise Carlsberg to produce beer mixed with that man’s vomit, as after sipping it I must admit that the taste was not bad, in fact when tasting the free beer I asked the same gentleman to make me a vomit in the glass.
Thanks to the boys of Carlsberg and the puking gentleman
