Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for dispensing beverages from a collapsible liner fitted with a disposable valve. It comprises an external tap actuator with hand operated lever and integrated external dispense nozzle. The collapsible liner valve is located inside the housing of the external tap actuator. The external tap actuator's hand operated lever is configured in several ways to be compatible with three commercially available collapsible liner taps. When the hand operated lever opens the valve, the beverage flows into the said dispense nozzle which delivers the liquid to a beverage container such as a glass or carafe.
