ABSTRACT:
A beverage dispenser is provided having a hollow shell member having an open end, a beverage receptacle enclosed within the shell member and engaged with the shell member and also having an open end, and a cover member which threadably engages the open end of the shell member and forms a liquid-tight seal with the open end of the beverage receptacle. A spigot for dispensing the beverage is provided and extends through the cover member, and a handle for manipulating the beverage dispenser is provided. For dispensing beer, the shell member is preferably shaped and colored as a beer keg, and the molded surface is formed to simulate a beer keg. Preferred aspects further include: making the beverage receptacle from a deformable plastic material with a beveled opening, and making the cover member with a tapered portion, such that when the cover member is threaded into the shell member the peripheral taper of the cover member forcibly contacts the deformable beveled opening of the beverage receptacle and provides a liquid tight seal between said cover member means and said beverage receptacle means; providing a window in the shell member to permit viewing of liquid level when the beverage dispenser is being filled; a hand grip in the bottom of the shell member to permit easy dunking of the beverage dispenser into water for cleaning; and an indentation on the shell member for receiving a logo of the beverage manufacturer.
