The beverage delivery system comprises a first beverage pipe 1, a second beverage pipe 2, a beverage pump 3 and a beverage tap 4. The first beverage tube 1 is connected between the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200 and the beverage pump 3, one end of the first beverage tube 1 is detachably connected to the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200, that is, one end of the first beverage tube 1 close to the beverage barrel 200 can be provided with a simple connector (joint) 11, the simple connector 11 can be connected to the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200, so that one end of the first beverage tube 1 is detachably connected to the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200. The first beverage tube 1 may be a food grade hose, which is used for the purpose of facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the easy connection 11.

Since the water pressure generated when the beverage barrel 200 is filled with the beverage is very low, the simple joint 11 can be manually disassembled and assembled to the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200, and the simple joint 11 can also be replaced by a quick joint or other leakage-stopping device, i.e. the structure of the first beverage tube 1 with one end connected to the soup outlet valve 201 of the beverage barrel 200 is not limited. The simple joint 11 may be provided with a leakage-stopping ring 12, and the leakage-stopping ring 12 is located between the simple joint 11 and the soup outlet valve 201 for increasing the leakage-stopping effect. The water pressure caused by the height difference of the beverage in the beverage barrel 200 is very small, so that the simple joint 11 can be prevented from falling off by the tension of the leakage-proof ring 12, thereby achieving the effect of easy assembly and disassembly. The simple joint 11 may be provided with an equivalent device such as a butterfly nut or a conventional quick joint. When various beverage items are available, multiple different beverage barrels can be arranged under the bar counter 100, and the conveying operating mechanism on the bar counter 100 can be designed into different shapes, so as to enhance the beautification of the bar counter 100.
