Jacob Christian Jacobsen (2 September 1811 – 30 April 1887), mostly known as J.

C.

Jacobsen, was a Danish industrialist and philanthropist best known for founding the brewery Carlsberg.

Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea.

Beer is brewed from cereal grains—most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used.

During the brewing process, fermentation of the starch sugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the resulting beer.

Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilizing agent.

Other flavouring agents such as gruit, herbs, or fruits may be included or used instead of hops.

In commercial brewing, the natural carbonation effect is often removed during processing and replaced with forced carbonation.

A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.

The place at which beer is commercially made is either called a brewery or a beerhouse, where distinct sets of brewing equipment are called plant.

The commercial brewing of beer has taken place since at least 2500 BC; in ancient Mesopotamia, brewers derived social sanction and divine protection from the goddess Ninkasi.

Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built.

Brewing is the production of beer by steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains, the most popular of which is barley) in water and the resulting sweet liquid with yeast.

It may be done in a brewery by a commercial brewer, at home by a homebrewer, or by a variety of traditional methods such as communally by the indigenous peoples in Brazil when making cauim.

Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that emerging civilizations including ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia brewed beer.

Since the nineteenth century the has been part of most western economies.
