Carlsberg’s Historical Copenhagen Brewery to Close

February 22, 2006 By Jay Brooks

Carlsbery Brewery of Denmark announced today that it will be closing it historical Valby Plant at the end of 2008. Brewery operations will be moving 125 miles away to their Fredericia facility in western Denmark, which will be getting a new brewhouse to increase capacity. They will continue to brew speciality beers at the Jacobsen brewhouse in Valby, but everything else will be moving. Bloomberg News reported on the business aspects of the decision.

Happily, the historical brewery, which has brewing there since 1847, will be developed by Carlsberg though exact plans have not yet been decided. But at least, as reported by Food Ingedients First, “the famous brewery horses and the historical buildings such as the Elephant Gate, the brewery, the museum, Carl’s Villa, the Carlsberg Academy and approximately 20 other buildings that Danes consider to be of major culturo-historical merit, will not be affected by the plans to close production in Valby.”
