  • Patent number: 5158216
    Abstract: A pitcher, particularly attractive for keg or draft beer (or soda), is described in which the pour flow is of the liquid at the bottom of the pitcher, keeping any foam or ice within the pitcher, at the top. An insert is incorporated adjacent the spout end of the pitcher, and extends from appropriate 1/4 inch above the bottom to the top cover of the pitcher. This insert forms a barrier for the spout to force the flow through the spout to be of the liquid from the bottom. A handle is located on a side opposite to the spout for ease of pouring.
