Abstract
In this paper we are discussing about Heineken beer from a logistical aspect. In the first section we deal about beer in general: history, ingredients, brewing and varieties of beer. Then we continue with describing the supply chain of beer which is followed by the comparison of two countries, namely Hungary and the US regarding logistics. We would like to focus on the main features of the process in these countries and laying an emphasis especially on the differences. Beer is the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverage globally and the third most popular drink worldwide after water and tea.
The oldest proven records of the brewing of beer are dating back to 6000 BC and they were found in Egypt and Mesopotamia. It is not known exactly how beer making was invented, but we know that first chemical evidences were derived from around 3500-3100 BC from Iran. Ancient beer mainly consisted of sugar and starch and probably they could naturally undergo fermentation.
