Abstract: A pouring attachment device for a disposable package of nitrogenated beverage, e.g. an aluminium can P, that achieves a desirable foam head when the beverage is poured into a glass. The attachment comprises a main body or housing (11), an ultrasonic wave generator (27) and a means to couple the device to the package, such as a rim seal (2)0. A flow channel has a contoured inlet (26) configured for communicating beverage from the package to an outlet (21), via a resonance chamber (28), and is particularly configured for minimising turbulence.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for refrigerating beverages using forced convection, particularly for the rapid chilling of bottled or canned beverages. The method consists of directing airflow (R) at speed over the surface of the bottles (B) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. One form of the apparatus includes the use of a carton (C) (i.e. secondary packaging) with a plurality of apertures (A) in opposing walls that align with interstitial spaces (S) between bottles thereby directing airflow and allowing forced convection cooling of bottles within the carton.

Abstract: A beverage container for a nitrogenated beverage comprises at least two restricted outlet apertures (11, 12) configured to, when pouring therefrom into a secondary vessel, form jets of beverage that impinge downstream. Impingement initiates nucleation of dissolved nitrogen gas in the beverage and, as such, when poured into the vessel a creamy head of fine nitrogen/mixed gas bubbles can be formed. The restricted outlet apertures can be formed in a plate (10) over an openable mouth of the beverage container, or directly upon the container. Preferably a vent (14) or some other means is included to increase the velocity of the jets.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for dispensing beverage from a single serve beverage package (b), e.g. an aluminium can B. In operation the sealed package (B) is located and held in a receiving enclosure (11) where, firstly, a dispense end of the package is opened by a piercing element (24) and, secondly, a gas is introduced under pressure at a second end through a hollow needle (19). Gas from a pump, into the internal volume of package (B), is then used to drive beverage from the beverage package, e.g. through a restrictor structure (27), at the dispense end and into a drinking vessel (G). The pump mode may then apply negative pressure to prevent flow and enable a pause in flow or at completion of delivery to a vessel (G).

Abstract: A beverage container or package that includes an internal surface for promoting nitrogen bubble nucleation and growth. The surface incorporates a plurality of nanoscale structures, e.g. between 6 and 100 nanometres in size. Most preferably the structures are pits, greater than 15 nm in depth/height. Upon opening the container filled with a Nitrogen (and carbon dioxide) supersaturated beverage, a foaming effect occurs which provides a desirable head of fine bubbles when transferred to a drinking glass.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser (10) of the "optic" type with a chamber (14) for communication with a beverage reservoir (13) and bottle (B). The chamber (14) also has an inlet (15) and outlet (16) for dispensing beverage therefrom. Within the chamber is a piston (17) that moves to force beverage from the outlet of the chamber when the inlet is closed, therefore, the dispenser is intended to deliver beverage at a speed faster than gravity.

Abstract: A dispenser for delivering beverages (e.g. beer) including a main body (20), an inlet (21), an outlet (23) and a piston stop valve (23) . In use, the piston moves from a first closed position (A) to a second position (B) where fluid is permitted only through restrictive channels (30) that causes turbulent flow and hence foam formation for the head of the beverage. In a third position (C), flow is completely open from the inlet to the outlet and foam formation is minimised..

Abstract: A beverage dispense apparatus and associated method, comprises a frame (11) for removably locating and holding a sealed beverage unit package (C) in a vertical orientation. A first piercing element (14) punctures a vent opening into a headspace of the beverage package (C) and, subsequently as the first piercing element is driven downward, a second piercing element (15) punctures an outlet opening into the beverage package so that beverage can flow through a nozzle (17) under gravity. An ultrasonic transducer (16) against the nozzle (17) may supply excitation energy that breaks gas out of solution so that a creamy head is formed on the beverage in a delivery vessel underneath the frame. Control of the vent opening/vale (13) enables flow to be slowed or stopped through the nozzle (17) enabling a settle time and "two-part" pour.
