Abstract: A method is provided for dispensing beer rapidly into a series of containers for mass distribution to consumers at public gatherings such as stadiums, race tracks, etc. The beer is contained in kegs and is supplied to a multi-tap dispenser through a refrigerated supply line. A coolant is circulated around the beer in the supply line and in the dispenser for cooling the beer. The temperature of the beer is maintained sufficiently close to its freezing temperature as to permit pouring from the taps while preventing excessive foam from being generated in the containers as the beer is poured. Preferably, the beer is maintained at less than 34.degree. F and preferably within about 1/2.degree.-2.degree. F of its freezing temperature which is approximately 28.degree. F for most beer. The pressure drop in the beer supply line is also controlled in order to avoid excessive agitation of the beer.
