Abstract

A dispenser (10) suitable for use in a public house or bar to dispense beverages, preferably in a chilled state. The dispenser includes a housing (11) with an input end (14), accessible by a user, within which to place a beverage bottle (B). Within the housing is a pathway (12) leading to a dispensing end (18) where bottles are released. Preferably the housing is refrigerated (by means of forced convection equipment to enable rapid chilling) such that bottles are cooled to a predetermined temperature before being dispensed. Also it is preferable that the dispensing end is activated by the placement of a beverage bottle (usually in a 'warm' state) in the input end. Thereby the dispenser is always stocked with cool beverages ready for sale.
