Abstract: The present invention is directed to a beverage dispensing system including at least one beverage dispensing container, a computing device and a base unit upon or within which, in use, the at least one container is positioned. The at least one container includes a reservoir of beverage, a communication element for storing data indicative of contents of the beverage dispensing container, a manually actuatable dispensing valve selectively controlling flow of beverage from the reservoir to a container outlet, and pressurizing means for pressurizing beverage against the dispensing valve such that when the dispensing valve is opened beverage flows from the reservoir and out the container outlet.

Abstract: This invention is directed toward a beverage dispensing module and flexible pouch. The beverage dispensing module is suitable for alcoholic beverages. The beverage dispensing module includes an outlet arrangement for selectively dispensing beverage, a pressurizing arrangement including resilient bias means connected to a roller and a beverage pouch fluidly connected to the outlet arrangement and mounted with the roller. The resilient bias means, outlet arrangement and roller are configured to form an overpressure, relative to atmospheric pressure, within the pouch.
