Germany
Carlsberg Deutschland has announced the sale of the brewery in Braunschweig to

brewery with all production employees (approximately 150), all related assets as
well as a number of discount and private label brands.
The sale is part of the continuous optimisation of Carlsberg's European brewery

increase focus on the more profitable core brand business.
