摘要

A beverage dispenser (10) is disclosed for use with prefilled containers (11) of carbonated beverage. The beverage dispenser (10) incorporates a dispensing valve assembly (21), and is screwed to the neck (13) of the container (11). The beverage dispenser (10) also contains a supply of carbon dioxide (23) for pressurizing the container (11) and for replacing beverage withdrawn from the container (11). This allows a quantity of beverage to be withdrawn from the container (11) without loss of carbonation of the remaining liquid, and without contamination of the remaining liquid by air.
