Abstract:

This invention provides for the dispensing of beer from a keg by gravity. A stand is detachably connected with the upper end of the keg, and the keg is then turned upside down. The stand supports the keg with the lowermost end of the keg spaced above the floor or ground or other surface with enough clearance under the keg for a person to reach under the keg to operate a valve which is located in the lowermost end of the keg when a keg, made for use with conventional tapping equipment, is to be used in an upside down position. The stand preferably folds when not in use and can be detachably secured to the keg without the use of tools.
