A tap adapter ( 38 ) for use in dispensing an alcohol beverage from a container ( 22 ) has a shoulder ( 152 ), a support arm ( 150 ), a dispensing tube, a flow restricting actuator ( 200 ), and a switch ( 300 ). The dispensing tube is supported by the support arm and provides a beverage flow passageway for dispensing beverage from the container. The dispensing tube has at least a flexible wall portion ( 86 ). The flow restricting actuator is pivotally attached to the shoulder and moves between a first position remote of the dispensing tube and a second locked position to partially collapse the flexible wall portion and restrict flow of beverage through the passageway. The switch, when actuated by a user, releases the flow restricting actuator from the second locked position. The switch of the tap adapter facilitates disconnection of the dispensing tube from a spent container and the changing of the dispensing tube. |
