The unit according to claim 1, wherein the deposit space has a conical shape and wherein generatrixes in an axial plane of a cross section of the deposit space define between them an angle of 90° or less.4. The unit according to claim 1, wherein the deposit space has a cylindrical form.5. The unit according to claim 1, wherein a volume of the deposit space is equal to 0.01 to 0.1 of a volume of the isothermal vessel.6. The unit according to claim 1, further comprising a fitting box, said fitting box comprising means for measuring a parameter of the beverage inside the vessel and means for connecting the vessel to a source of acid gas and to a gas disposal, said fitting box being supported on the base.7. The unit according to claim 6, wherein the fitting box also comprises means for procuring a sample of the beverage from the insulating vessel.8. A method for transporting a beverage comprising:(a) providing the unit of claim 1 with the valve means connecting the cooling jacket to a first cooling system at a first location; (b) inserting the beverage into the isothermal vessel; (c) disconnecting the valve means from the first cooling system and transporting the unit to a second location; and (d) connecting, by means of the valve means, the cooling jacket to second cooling system at the second location. 9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising dispensing the beverage from the vessel at the second location.10. In an apparatus for producing beer comprising the following components: (a) means for brewing beer wort; (b) means for fermentation of the beer wort, said means for fermentation comprising N fermentation units, where N is a whole number; (c) K units for after-fermentation, where K is a whole number; (d) a cooling system and (e) means for interconnecting components (a),(b),(c) and (d), the improvement comprising:(f) means for connection and disconnection of the after-fermentation units from components (a), (b), and (d), said means for connection and disconnection comprising a number i of communication units, where i is a whole number that is equal to or less than K, wherein each of said communication units and a corresponding one of the after-fermentation units is supported on a common base such that each of the communication units and its corresponding after-fermentation unit is transportable from one location to another as a unit. 11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein each of the after-fermentation units comprises an isothermal vessel comprising a cooling jacket, thermal shell insulating means for insulating the vessel, and deposit space means, comprising a deposit space at a bottom of the isothermal vessel, for preventing yeast deposited in the vessel and settled in the deposit space from mixing with beer in a portion of the vessel outside of the deposit space during transport of the after-fermentation unit.12. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein each of the after-fermentation units comprises beverage dispensing means for dispensing beverage from the isothermal vessel.13. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein each of the after-fermentation units has a volume that is not more than 0.8 of an inner volume of one of the fermentation units.
