A handle for a beverage dispensing faucet, having an ergonometric size and shaped body that is easy to grasp and lightweight, the handle being configured to allow quickly and easily changing or selecting from different shape ergonometric bodies using specially shaped adapters having mounting elements shaped to the different shape bodies.

A Wi-Fi connected wine preservation and optimization system, device and method. The system offers preservation by the minimization and/or elimination of oxygen, temperature control, inventory tracking, monitoring and reordering through user terminals such as e.g., a Wi-Fi connected tablet (e.g., iPad), smart phones, computers, etc. The data aggregated will be available on a subscription basis available for purchase by the trade, retailers, producers and distributors to enable strong controls on production and inventory resulting in higher profits and lower waste.

A display device attachment configured to mount on a bar gun is described. The display device comprises a mount; and a display element operatively mounted on the mount so as to move relative to the bar gun when the bar gun is handled to pour a drink. There is also described a bar gun with an integral or attached display device, the display device comprising: a display element operatively mounted on the bar gun so as to move when the bar gun is handled to pour a drink.

A beverage dispensing system includes a control system electrically connected with a beverage dispenser, a proximity sensor, and a touch-sensitive display. The control system causes the touch-sensitive display to display an advertising state when the proximity sensor indicates a user is not present at the beverage dispensing system and a beverage selection state when the proximity sensor indicates a user is present. The control system further causes the touch-sensitive display to display a pour state after a beverage choice selection is made through the touch sensitive display during the display of the beverage selection state. The control system still further causes the beverage dispenser to deliver the beverage choice after a pour request is made through the touch sensitive display during the display of the pour state.

A fluid pressurization and dispensing system, including a coupler releasably attached to a vessel via an attachment means for securing a vacuum seal between the coupler and the vessel for maintaining pressure within the vessel, refreshing the gas composition within the vessel, and dispensing of a fluid contents externally from within the vessel without disturbing the vacuum seal. The coupler has a rigid single body unit having a tap head, a shank, and a cap which are contiguous thereof the coupler including a plurality of channels each integrally machined within an interior portion of the coupler. The system regulates a flow of gas from a pressurized gas cartridge via a gas pressure regulator, enables venting excess gas via a gas pressure relief valve, enables measurement of gas pressure within the vessel via a gas pressure gauge. Another embodiment of the system includes a coupler including a bi-level tap head.

The disclosure concerns a system including a multi-tower modular dispensing system comprising at least a first dispensing head and a second dispensing head at a counter, a transfer unit located remotely from the counter, piping extending from the transfer unit to the counter, the transfer unit comprising a centralized ingredient system having a plurality of beverage ingredient sources, the centralized ingredient system configured to supply beverage ingredients to the piping for the dispensing of a first beverage at the counter, the piping comprising a main micro bundle, the main micro bundle comprising at least two separate beverage ingredient lines.

Disclosed are various embodiments for dispensing and tracking beverages. An identifier associated with a user can be read by an identification device. Beverage availability information for the user can be determined. The beverage availability information can specify categories of beverages that the user is authorized to dispense. Valves can be selected that correspond to the authorized beverage categories. The valves can be enabled to allow the user to dispense beverages from the authorized beverage categories. The quantity of beverages dispensed can be tracked.

The present disclosure relates to a liquid beverage dispensing apparatus and specifically a modular component for installation on and use in conjunction with the liquid beverage dispensing system. The modular component includes a communication interface and controller, an actuator for a valve, for use with a beverage faucet that dispenses the liquid beverage. The actuator is in electronic communication with the communication interface and controller and is responsive to direction received from the communication interface and controller to open or close the valve. The modular component is sized, dimensioned, and configured to be retrofitted to an existing beverage dispensing system to replace an existing conventional manual beverage faucet, or as a newly manufactured system.

A beverage delivery system including a dispensing column and a tap unit with a spout, wherein the tap unit is releasably connectable to the dispensing column. The dispensing column includes an elongated post and a removable elongated cladding component, the elongated cladding component receiving the elongated pos, wherein connecting the tap unit to the elongated post secures the cladding component to the elongated post and wherein disconnecting and removing the tap unit from the elongated post allows removal of the cladding component from the elongated post.

Provided is a ready-to-install apparatus for dispensing carbonated beverages and/or beverages on draught that incorporates a flow sensor and a pinch valve and may be coupled to the end of a beer line (or any other tubing used for beverage dispensing) without having to be integrated within the line (i.e. eliminating the need to make multiple cuts for the valve, the flow sensor, etc.) The beverage dispensing apparatus reduces foaming by reducing the number of components that come into contact with the fluid and/or interfere with flow. For example, the beverage dispensing apparatus may utilize an external flow sensor to reduce the creation of nucleation sites where CO.sub.2 bubbles may form. In another example, a pinch valve may be used to prevent excessive foaming in place of conventional valves that must be placed proximal to the keg.
