BEST PAIRED FACTS
BUBBLES
We all know that pouring beer straight down into a glass builds a foamy head, but are you aware that whenever a bubble pops, a burst of aroma is awakened for your sipping satisfaction? Ons sê, skink maar vir ons nog ‘n Diesel & Dust bier, asseblief!
PLANTS
The sugar in beer is said to supercharge your plants. Beer sprinkler, anyone?
PRESIDENTS
Did you know Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Barack Obama were all homebrewers. Ons wonder of hul bier so lekker soos ons s’n gesmaak
SAFER THAN WATER
In medieval Europe, it is believed that the average person drank 220-250 litres of beer a year! Having undergone fermentation, beer was cleaner and safer to drink than the water. Ons is baie dankbaar vir skoon en drinkbare water, maar ons sal terselftertyd ook dankie sê vir nog ‘n Diesel & Dust biertjie!
SPACE HOPS
In 1992, astronaut-homebrewer Bill Readdy blasted into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery carrying an unofficial package – a bag containing Cascades hops. Spinnakers Brewpub later made a beer brewed with the hops that circled the earth 128 times.
TRADITION
Did you know: The first beer bottle was sold in 1850. Before then, people would take their buckets and go to taverns to fill them up. In some brew bars they still have that old tradition.
Dankie tog daarvoor. Anders nou ons nie Diesel & Dust se #TrueBrew in drank winkels kon koop nie.
YEAST
Yeast wasn’t discovered until 1857. Despite being used in the brewing process for over a millennium, yeast was first discovered by Louis Pasteur, who invented the pasteurisation process, in 1857. During his research on fermentation, he discovered that live yeast was responsible for converting sugar into alcohol. Slimkoppe soos Mnr Pasteur verdien al die Diesel & Dust wat hulle harte begeer.
