A container has a top and a bottom endcap, a bottle sandwiched therebetween, and one or more bands coupling the top and bottom endcaps and the bottle. The bottle receives therein a flexible bladder. At least one of the top and bottom endcaps has a pair of opposing parallel surfaces, one of which has a protrusion extending therefrom and the other one of which has a recess therein at a location corresponding to that of the protrusion. A valving structure demountably engages with a neck portion of the bottle and has (i) a coupling valve assembly having two channels in fluid communication with the bottle and the bladder for injecting gas thereinto and dispensing liquid therefrom, respectively, and (ii) a twist-lock casing receiving therein the coupling valve assembly and removably coupled to the bottle’s neck portion. The twist-lock casing has a structure for safely depressurizing the bottle.

The disclosure relates to a tap head for connecting to a keg for a bar system, the tap head having a tap head body, and a pressurization-gas supply line and a beverage removal line being formed in the tap head body, such that a 3/2-way valve is formed directly on or in the tap head body in the pressurization-gas supply line, which 3/2-way valve connects either the pressurization-gas supply line from a gas source to the interior of the keg or connects, in a gas-conducting manner, the interior of the keg to the environment.

The invention relates to a tap head (1) for connecting to a keg (9), in particular for a bar system, the tap head (1) having a tap head body (3), and a pressurization-gas supply line (7) and a beverage removal line (6) being formed in the tap head body (3), such that a 3/2-way valve (2) is formed directly on or in the tap head body (3) in the pressurization-gas supply line (7), which 3/2-way valve connects either the pressurization-gas supply line (7) from a gas source to the interior of the keg (11) or connects, in a gas-conducting manner, the interior of the keg (11) to the environment (U).

The present invention provides a beverage preservation keg with an adjustable beer tap, including a shell, an inner container, and a gas-liquid control device; the inner container includes an upper gas storage chamber and a lower beer storage chamber; the gas-liquid control device includes a keg spear, a dispenser and a beer discharge pipe; the keg spear matches and communicates with the gas storage chamber and the beer storage chamber, and the top end of the keg spear matches and is connected to the dispenser; the dispenser is connected to the matching beer discharge pipe. The present invention has the function of adjusting the beer flow rate, and the keg spear is provided with a pressure relief valve, which eliminates the need for a gas tube and a separate pressure relief valve to connect the keg spear to the gas storage chamber in series.
