Abstract: Equipment is provided to solve the problem of affording information, in connection with dispensing of beverage from a pressurized keg via a tap controlled with a tap handle, about the level of beverage remaining in the keg. Preferably, the tap handle is caused to contain a power source, a position-sensitive switch, a microprocessor containing a timer, a reset associated with the microprocessor to be activated when a new keg is started, a device for causing the microprocessor to accumulate an aggregate amount of time since the reset was most recently activated, and a display or output responsive to the microprocessor to give signals (clock-face-style display, digital and/or alphanumeric display, or in some aspects of the invention, a flashing light or even simply an audible signal) to let the user know what the level of liquid in the keg is or that it has reached a point near to the end of the quarter-barrel or half-barrel keg now in use.
