About this beer
This is the 9th of 16 labels we have from Carlsberg. It is one of 111 pilsner labels approved in July 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The brand on the label is Carlsberg; it was brewed at SWEETWATER BREWING COMPANY, SWEETWATER BREWING COMPANY, LLC in Georgia.
The Carlsberg script logo dominates the centre-left in large white serif lettering with an integral decorative swash, anchored above by a gold crown and the phrase "By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court". The background is a solid forest green field. To the right, white sans-serif block capitals announce "Probably the Best Beer in the World" over a narrative paragraph in smaller type about yeast purification and the founder's legacy. Below the logo, "Danish Style Pilsner" and "1847 Onwards" appear in gold capitals. The lower right corner contains ingredients, government warnings, and size information in white and green type on white rectangular panels.
