Carlsberg to brew beer with regenerative barley

Carlsberg Denmark will now brew its beer with regeneratively grown barley. Carlsberg Denmark has collaborated with DLG and Viking Malt to purchase malt barley cultivated on 100 hectares in Zealand using sustainable farming methods.
Approximately 500 tonnes of the harvested barley will produce up to 3.3 million litres of beer. A portion of this will go into a special edition of Carlsberg beer that will be made entirely with regeneratively grown barley. It will be released next year. The remainder will go towards the production of Carlsberg Pilsner, which will eventually be brewed with 100 percent regenerative raw materials.
This initiative is part of the Carlsberg Group’s broader sustainability strategy, Together Towards ZERO and Beyond, which aims to source all raw materials regeneratively by 2040.
