Perhaps every person at least once in his life tasted beer. Drink brand "Diesel" is different from other brands. The differences lie not only in the appearance of the bottle, but also in taste, and even in production technology.
Description and history of occurrence
Beer "Diesel" (or "Doctor Diesel") is called youth, as it has received special demand among people whose age is less than 30 years. The glass bottle has an attractive design with "pimples" on the outside. Thanks to the narrowing in the middle, it is comfortable to hold in your hand. The bottle does not slip even when the drink is chilled to vaporization.
The Diesel brand was created in 1998 by Russian brewer Ivan Taranov. In 2005, it was bought by the well-known company Hineken. The new owners changed the design of the bottle and began to write the name of the drink only in Latin letters. Sales growth in 2008 (almost 20 times compared with 2006) is attributed by specialists to the marketing move.
The Hineken brand itself began with a small brewery built in Amsterdam by Gerard Heineken. Today, the company has more than 165 plants in 65 countries. The name of its creator is written on each bottle to this day, and the business remains family.
Composition and possible harm to the body
The composition of the beer "Diesel" includes the following components (those indicated on the label):
- purified drinking water;
- barley light malt;
- maltose syrup;
- brewing barley;
- barley yellow brewing malt;
- hop products.
If we consider the composition of beer from the chemical side, then it is worth mentioning such substances:
- carbohydrates (glucose, dextrin, sucrose, polysaccharides);
- ethyl alcohol (the main component of beer, providing calorie content);
- nitrogen-containing elements (amino acids and polypeptides) that are part of the malt;
- water, carbon dioxide, yeast, etc.
Due to the large number of different substances in the "Diesel" can be called a useful beer. However, only the original will be beneficial to health. Degrees in beer "Diesel", according to the manufacturer, range from 4% to 4.5%.
Adversely affect the health of beer "Diesel" can also. All due to the presence of the following components:
- Preservatives These substances have the ability to change the color, smell and taste of the drink. Previously, formalin was used instead, the use of which is strictly prohibited today.
- Enzymes. Needed to break down starch and complex sugars.
- Stabilizers. Serve to give the drink a homogeneous structure.
- Dyes.
- Substitutes for malt.
- Sugar.
However, the above elements are contained in any similar drink, and not just in the Diesel beer. Therefore, do not put it below other brands.
Production Features
The manufacturer assures that the success of the beer lies in the use of special A-Yeast yeast, which give the drink a rich taste and aroma filled with fruity notes.
Fermentation of beer in production is carried out in vertical tanks, and not in horizontal tanks, as in factories of other brands. Beer is brewed for 28 days, which is longer than the brewing period in other breweries.
Experts summarized the statistics: about 25 million glasses of Hineken beer are sold per day. Despite this, the brand claims: "We always remember that the quality of a beer is not measured by the number of its sales, but by its purity."
As you know, the Heineken brand, which produces Diesel beer, was a sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, and during the games on the sides, one of the brand's new slogans was written: “Enjoy Heineken”.
