$9.7 billion is what Carlsberg making from selling more than 500 brands of beer. Two of the most popular among them are Skol, which you saw on previous page, and the signature brand, Calrsberg. That huge sales revenue puts Carlsberg Group as the fourth best beer company in the world with 6.1% of global market share. And from that, the company is making around $1.5 billion of operating income.
The man behind this world renowned beer is actually a rich art collector, J.C. Jacobsen. After spending times working at his winter garden, Pompeji, he finally finished the first brew in 1847.
If you are a soccer fan like me, you probably saw Carlsberg for the first time on every Liverpool F.C players’ jersey. It has been the club sponsor from 1992.
