Carlsberg Research Lab Rebrews the Original Lager.

Using sophisticated techniques, Carlsberg Research Laboratory has rebrewed the world's very first quality lager. It is brewed with the original pure yeast which was developed at the Carlsberg Lab and which revolutionized the world's beer brewing in 1883. The yeast has surprisingly survived 133 years in a beer bottle in the brewery's old cellars, and leading brewing experts have now managed to rebrew what is considered the father of most modern day lager beers. Carlsberg founder JC Jacobsen then shared his discovery with other brewers and the yeast he discovered still forms the basis of most lager today.

In the old days, brewing beer was an unpredictable process that often resulted in undrinkable beer due to the phenomenon called 'beer sickness'. However, in 1883, Carlsberg Research Laboratory revolutionised quality beer with its ground-breaking discovery of pure yeast, which made it possible to make quality beer from every brew. Recently, scientists at Carlsberg Laboratory made an extraordinary discovery in the old cellars of Carlsberg in Copenhagen, Denmark. They found one of the very first Carlsberg
beers brewed with the original pure yeast from 1883. After one year of intense research, they were able to extract living yeast cells from the bottle.

To celebrate the 140th anniversary of the Carlsberg Research Laboratory, leading scientists and brewers at the Laboratory have now rebrewed the world's first quality lager in the most authentic manner, using the original pure yeast and the exact same recipe, ingredients and brewing techniques as in 1883. The results are a testament to the historical discoveries at the Research Lab as well as the world leading quality capabilities of the modern day Carlsberg Laboratory.

With this year being the 140th anniversary of the Carlsberg Research Laboratory brewing the world's very first quality lager, Carlsberg, in association with entertainment.ie, are hosting a very special beer tasting evening at The Science Gallery in Dublin on August 31st. The event will see Carlsberg exhibit their newly rebrewed Carlsberg beer where you can experience the taste of the world's Original Lager.
