Probably Carlsberg. Packaging history and not only.

Heat. Thirst. Beer. Anticipation. And despite the fact that the culprit of anticipation is inside, what kind of empirical info-reflection bears in itself and what effect has on the consumer what remains outside.

We bring to your attention a review of the most interesting packages and tactics of promoting Carlsberg beer over the past 5 years.

 

Extra pleasure when buying 11 jars

From 2015, limited local series of promotional packages will start, including 11 cans of beer and a Carlsberg speaker system made in the form of Carlsberg Smooth Draft, to which you can connect any audio media via USB and turn on the sound through the speaker built into the can itself. The subtext is to enhance the pleasure wave of taste sensations with audio perception.

 

Probably the best poster in the world

In 2015, Taxi Studio created a “Probably” logo for Carlsberg to enhance the brand’s premium positioning. In the same year, Carlsberg placed «probably the best poster in the world» on Brick Lane in London. Minimalism with your own eyes: a green full-length poster with one inscription and one tap with beer served through it. During the day, 1400 glasses of Carlsberg were poured, which was reflected in coverage in the Guardian, Telegraph, Sun Online and many other publications, as well as in more than 3 million publications in social networks, where, in recent years, it has become a legend «probably» in most cases changed to «definitely.»

 

Not a beer alone

Carlsberg launches a line of cosmetics using beer in 2015. For the production of one 250 million bottles of shampoo at least 0.5 liters of frothy drink is used.

According to company spokesman Jim Daniela, despite its seeming simplicity, Carlsberg cosmetics are really good for the skin and hair. Beauticians have long known the beneficial properties of barley and hop grains, so they are actively used in the manufacture of shampoos, gels, creams and other means.

How green is green

Green is the color of the environment and Carlsberg. The colors on the labels repeat the natural colors of the hops. In order to immerse into the environment, Carlsberg essentially changes the green ink on Cradle to Cradle ™ labels at Silver level in 2016 for better processing. These paints, in addition to environmental friendliness, are made using renewable energy sources.

 

Millennium Series

In 2017, Carlsberg releases a limited packaging series called Kobenhavn in honor of the Danish capital with an abstract interpretation for the millennials generation.

 

Carlsberg in black

In the same 2017, Carlsberg releases the Black Gold packaging series for the German market. Black Gold is a dark pilsner brewed in the same way as the premium Carlsberg variety, only for a longer period, which gives it a richer taste and higher alcohol content. This difference is immediately transmitted using black and gold print.

 

Carlsberg in red

In 2017, Carlsberg celebrates the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Liverpool and produces limited edition beers using unique research and state-of-the-art technologies that incorporate the atmosphere created by fans.

Scientists from the Carlsberg research lab in Copenhagen grew red hops, dipping them into video footage of Liverpool’s 25-year-old matches and the sound of roaring supporters. The unique process was made possible by installing a powerful sound system and a video screen displaying the iconic moments of the LFC of the last three decades in the greenhouse of the Copenhagen brewery. After six months, the red hops were harvested to make special Carlsberg Liverpool FC beer.

 

76% plastic reduction

The Snap Pack, released in 2018, involves gluing four, six, or eight Carlsberg cans instead of using plastic rings, which will reduce plastic to 1,200 tons per year. This project has been developed for three years together with the innovative beverage packaging company NMP Systems.

Caviar with the taste of beer for the 2018 World Cup

For the World Cup, Carlsberg and CP + B Copenhagen created caviar with the taste of Carlsberg Caviar. Specialists used molecular kitchen technology. The purpose of the unusual dish was to honor Russian culinary traditions, adding to them the taste of Denmark. Chef Umut Sakarya, who worked on the creation of Carlsberg Caviar, said that in recent years in the molecular kitchen there has been a tendency to develop artificial caviar with different tastes.

In 2019, in honor of the historical step of changing the color of the players to red and relations with Liverpool, which cover 26 seasons, Carlsberg reddened completely. This is a completely red label, bottle and brew.

˜

Unlike traditional red ales, the red color of this pilsner comes from the outer shell of a variant of red barley, which has relatively low climatic resistance and, therefore, has proven difficult to increase the amount required for cooking. It took more than a year of experiments, but we We are glad that our team was finally able to hack it. We prepared this special beer for Liverpool fans and hope that they will like it, — commented the development of Birgitt Skadhaug, head of research laboratories of Carlsberg.
