Super modern and informative tour! Comparing it to other popular brewery tours such as Guinness in Dublin and Heineken in Amsterdam, I thought this was one of the best. I’ll get the cons out of the way first, it’s pretty pricey, especially if you want the add ons like the guided tour and extra beer tasting, it can end up being quite expensive. I also wasn’t really blown away by their merchandise, which is only a minor thing. But the Guinness Storehouse for example does some great merchandise at the gift store and nothing at the Carlsberg shop really caught my eye or was worth the price. Besides those points, the visit was excellent. You have to book a time slot in advance and my flight was delayed, so I emailed to ask to change it and they gladly accommodated me and let me come later. The basic visit is self guided and you get a small taster at the start, then as you go through the old brewery grounds, a recreated recording of the Carlsberg family tells you about their story. I thought it was really well done and easy to understand. At the end you go to the bar which has a great layout and you get your pint of choice. I tried their red beer as I hadn’t had it before and it was very nice. Finally there’s horse stables with some adorable ponies and some old transport vehicles which are very cool. The entire brewery area is beautiful and you can tell a lot of time and money went into the design. I think this is definitely a great activity to do while in Copenhagen.

An Amazing Educational Experience... With Beer! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Home of Carlsberg is a must-visit for any beer enthusiast or history buff in Copenhagen. This interactive museum offers a fascinating look into the history of Carlsberg, one of the world's most renowned breweries. The self-guided tour is well-structured and engaging, taking you through the brewery's origins, the development of its iconic beer, and the innovative spirit that has driven its success. You'll learn about the science behind brewing, the evolution of packaging, and the philanthropic endeavors of the Carlsberg Foundation. But the real highlight is the opportunity to taste some of Carlsberg's finest brews. The tasting room offers a selection of beers, including some limited-edition varieties, and knowledgeable staff are on hand to guide you through your choices. Overall, Home of Carlsberg is an amazing experience that combines education, entertainment, and, of course, delicious beer. It's a perfect way to learn about Danish history and culture while enjoying a truly unique and memorable experience.

We booked the tour for two. We were greeted and given a taste of their pilsner prior to being released to the tour at our pace. I don't think this tour is worthwhile because it's self guided and you learn mostly about the scientific and brewing history of the brewery from brief video presentations and signs that are posted with quick bits of information. What you don't see in real time is the brewing process or any facets related to the scientific research related to the company's success. I've taken tours of the Jack Daniels whisky distillery. I paid about the same price and received a guided tour of the distillery with an excellent tour guide that took questions frequently. Each tourist received a special commemorative glass and sampled 5 whiskeys, including limited releases, all for about $25 USD. We also got to see the making of the whiskey, and visited the Rick House (barrel storage building for aging whisky). The Carlsberg Brewery left much to be desired. At the end of this tour, we received a drink of our choice from the Carlsberg bar. We were limited to four beers which did not include a stout or porter. Why are stouts and porters not in rotation? It's October and dark beer season. My wife had a diet coke and it was syrupy and flat. We went back to the bar to have this resolved. We were given another glass of diet coke and it was slightly more carbonated than the first glass. It made us think how the founder of the brewery would be turning in his grave for the bar dispensing flat soda. We don't recommend this experience unless you have a strong interest in beer. Copenhagen offers more interesting stops.

Excellent tour. We started with the history tour then the beer tasting and finally the museum. The History tour was a nice start for 30 mins but maybe the weakest part of the day. The beer tasting had 3 beers with an excellent guide explaining them for 30 mins. At the end you took any beer left in a plastic cup upstairs. We had the museum tour booked only 15 minutes after but we sat for 45 mins supping our beer then went to the museum, better to leave enough time. They say that the museum takes 90-120 mins and we easily spent a full 2 hours inside and could have spent more. Entry is every 15 minutes. Thankfully there is a toilet inside to let out the beer from earlier. The museum is very good with lots of informative sections. And at the end you get another beer included. Overall a good way to spend most of a day. We were there 5 1/2 hours in total. Would be great on a summer’s day as there is a nice courtyard. Thoroughly recomended.

Excellent, really brilliant, easily one of the best brewery tours I've done however I would highly recommend doing all three experiences. The exhibition is interactive and fun, starts with a sample and ends in a pint of your choice but in between are well curated displays and info boards with interesting artifacts, rooms and videos throughout. The brewery tour takes you outside the exhibition grounds and includes some walking however is incredibly worthwhile. You get to see the history first hand and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tasting experience was great and took place in the cellars. We had three beers to try ranging from a light blonde to a "stout" so if you only like one type of beer you may find this challenging.

I did the half-hour historical tour and was the only person on it, as the last tour of the day on an April weekday. My tour guide was hilarious and we went off on a lot of tangents. I knew nothing of the split between the Jacobsen father & son! There is restorative construction at the Carlsberg mansion (April 2024) but the historical tour is mostly outside and then goes down into one of the oldest tunnels with storage rooms. It looked like the tasting tour happens down in one of those storage rooms. There is no beer provided on the historical tour but you can get a beer in the tasting room in a plastic cup to carry with. I was frustrated in approaching the building - I came to the entrance last. You enter from Game Carlsberg Vej.
