<p>An apparatus for dispensing a beverage (2), such as beer or soft drinks. The apparatus comprises a container (1) for storing the beverage, a gas source (9, 12) for supplying the container with a propellant under positive pressure, and a riser pipe (5) for leading the beverage out of the container under the action of said positive pressure. The riser pipe has an open, first end immersed in the beverage and an opposite, second end fluid-connected to a faucet (7) for dispensing the beverage. The gas source (9, 12) is connected to the interior of the container via a gas conduit (10), and the fluid-connection consists of fluid conduit (8) arranged to offer a considerable resistance against the flow of the beverage during drawing. The apparatus according to the invention has a simple and inexpensive construction and is easy and quick to operate. By activating the faucet (7) the drawing process takes place in a self-regulating manner with a preselected degree of foaming. The apparatus can advantageously be constructed in relatively small sizes that are well suited for use in private homes and in smaller public houses.</p> |
