Disclosed is an automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer and a beer dispensing method by using the same. The automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer comprises a housing; a beer dispensing head installed on the housing and hermetically placed at a container mouth of a container; a carbon dioxide supplying device connecting with a gas inlet of the beer dispensing head through a pre-pressure gas valve, a beer barrel connected with a beer inlet of the beer dispensing head through a beer outlet valve, a flowmeter for measuring a beer flow of the beer barrel, and a processor connected with the pre-pressure gas valve, the beer outlet valve, the flowmeter, the gas exhaust valve and the barometer. The isobaric dispensing machine has a simple machine structure and is convenient to use, and is capable of reducing the time cost and the beer waste thus providing better beer quality.

The present invention relates to a beverage making machine comprising a first beverage making cartridge comprising at least one of a gas source portion, the gas source portion contains a solid gas source that through sublimation emits a gas, and a gas storage tank arranged to store the gas emitted from the solid gas source. The beverage making machine further comprising a second beverage making cartridge comprising at least one of a micro ingredient, a beverage diluent receptacle for receiving a beverage diluent liquid, a dissolver dissolves portion of the gas, from the gas storage tank, into the beverage diluent liquid, and a dispenser selectively dispenses a predefined ratio of at least one of the micro ingredient and the beverage diluent liquid, to form a beverage. Exemplary embodiments include a computer control arranged to receive a beverage selection from a consumer and control the beverage making machine to form beverages.

Systems, apparatus and methods are described herein for dispensing a carbonated beverage. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a first cylinder that defines an interior region that can contain a volume of carbonated water and a first piston separating the interior region. A second cylinder is coupled to the first cylinder and defines an interior region and a second piston separating the interior region and operatively coupled to the first piston. The interior region of the second cylinder can contain a volume of beverage concentrate. A flywheel assembly is operatively coupled to the first cylinder and to the first piston and can control a predetermined ratio of a volume of carbonated water from the first cylinder and a volume of beverage concentrate from the second cylinder to be dispensed when a force is exerted on the piston by a flow of carbonated water through the first cylinder.

A system for extracting a liquid from a container. The system comprises a liquid extraction member including a liquid extraction inlet and one or more liquid extraction outlets. The system additionally includes one or more storage vessels each defining a liquid storage inlet coupled in fluid flow communication with the extraction member via one of the liquid extraction outlets. The system additionally includes a pressure differential device operable to cause liquid to flow from the container, through the liquid extraction member, and into one or more of the storage vessels. Furthermore, the system includes one or more fluid restrictors associated with the liquid extraction member and configured to prevent fluid flow in at least one direction through the liquid extraction member to prevent liquid in the liquid extraction member from receding from the liquid extraction member back into the container.

The invention relates to a bar system (1) for simultaneously pouring beer (3) from a reservoir (2) into a plurality of containers such as glasses (4), comprising a supply line (5) having an adjoining distributor region (6) having a plurality of outlets (7), wherein the beer (3) can be conducted via the supply line (5) into the distributor region (6) and via the latter into the containers such as glasses (4). In order to fill the containers such as glasses (4) uniformly with beer (3) and with a head of foam of equal height, it is possible according to the invention to till the distributor region (6) completely with beer (3) when the supply line (5) is partially full. The invention further relates to a method for simultaneously pouring beer (3) into a plurality of containers such as glasses (4), the beer (3) being conducted from a reservoir (2) for the beer (3) via a supply line (5) to a distributor region (6) having a plurality of outlets (7) and the beer (3) being discharged via the outlets (7) and taps into the containers such as glasses (4). According to the invention the beer (3) is guided from a reservoir (2) via a supply line (5), partially filling said supply line, into the distributor region (6), completely tilling said distributor region, and the beer (3) is poured when the distributor region (6) is full.
