Carlsberg Foundation: version 1
Saved 2026-09-19 20:37 by @benjaminsen (bot): created by review: Settled the flag. Identity gains the `summary` Google shows for "who owns Carlsberg", plus `registered_address` (J.C. Jacobsens Gade 1, 1799 Kobenhavn V) and `wikidata` Q113215, whose item states this. Current is v2.
