Craft &
Specialty
During on-trade sales situations, a preference towards the “exclusive
experience” of craft & specialty beers is evident over international
brands that are perceived as common
These beers benefit by maintaining
regionality while continuing a scalable
procurement model. However, they
are still subject to lower volume growth
AFBs are growing quickly and
represent a strong opportunity in
Wester Europe, however they still are
only a small portion of the market
Craft beers, while giving consumers
the best beer experience, now
require additional resources to
grow in presence
Core beers are already mature
Carlsberg brands. While easily scalable,
these brands are facing increased
consumer resistance
Slower core beer volume growth compared to craft &
specialty growth due to lack of “exclusive experience”
This has led to an untapped opportunity within the
craft & specialty and AFB beer markets

uniquely communicating the
values that the specialty
brews stand for
Local subsidiaries will continue to operate independently, partaking in their own production, sales, and distribution
while taking advantage of financing and marketing resources from Carlsberg, the parent company

• Tuborg -> Music and Fun
• Grimbergen -> Indulgence
Allow brand managers to launch
campaigns with a local focus
• Highlight the social experience
and uncover consumers’
emotional drivers
Guide future decision making with
past KPIs
• Online video views,

7. Non-alcoholic beers are one of Carlsberg’s strongest performers, and
as the market for AFB’s grows, Carlsberg must innovate to stay
ahead; serving AFB’s on tap
Paris + Charles

Marseille + Nice
Bordeaux
Copenhagen
City Center +
Kastrup
Odense
Aarhus
Securing the European AFB on-tap market
Leverage relationships
with existing on-trade
clients where Carlsberg is
in top market position to
test on-tap AFB
Promote on-tap AFB at
concerts and sports
events – have a Carlsberg
stand serving AFB
Advertising campaign in
cities – TV/Billboard
Supply draught AFB at
major airports,
downtown restaurants,
hotels, and nightclubs
Younger consumers are trending toward healthier, low-alcohol brews. Together with Carlsberg’s belief that beer is a social catalyst, having AFB’s
on-tap will allow health-conscious consumers to engage in the shared experience with their friends and family with a fresh AFB, right off the tap

10. Carlsberg must continue to rapidly expand the acquisitions of local
breweries and microbreweries to expand the craft & specialty
portfolio using strategies currently in place with SAIL ‘22
Carlsberg will purchase established local breweries
with unique product offerings and established retail
customers, including AFBs
“Strengthen the Core” – Brand diversification
and segmentation gives Carlsberg more local
presence and options for diverse products
“Position for Growth” – Working with local
brands creates more effective, local-centric
ad campaigns for small brands that can used
as segues to multinational brand marketing
“Excel in Execution” – The acquisition of
multiple brands with established production
capacity and marketing efforts allow for growth
“Create a Winning Culture” – Expanding
resources such as DraughtMaster an OnTAP
help local retailers with sustainability, data
analytics and customer needs
Carlsberg will provide these breweries access to
company technology such as the DraughtMaster and
OnTAP
Using Carlsberg’s funding and resources, these local
companies can expand production and marketing
efforts
These efforts culminate in increased local brand
awareness and thus expansion into retailers such as
restaurants and cafes
“In the last two decades, Carlsberg Group has grown mostly through mergers and acquisitions of existing breweries and beer brands”

13. The OnTAP, DraughtMaster+, and AFB expansion face several risks
that may hinder revenue growth
Summary Insights Recommendations Impact Conclusion
Risk Scenarios Mitigating Actions
OnTAP is not fully utilized by vendors
Overestimation of AFB demand
DraughtMaster+ is not widely adopted by
clients
3
Prior to full launch, have a beta phase where a limited amount
of on-trade vendors trial the platform to provide feedback and
develop and initial userbase
Revert to DraughtMaster sales, with follow up on upgrade after
conversion
Reduce total number of locations where AFB’s are served on
tap, focus on getting the word out through sponsorships,
advertisements, and pop-up shops in downtown cores
