1. A mobile beverage dispenser comprising:
a. a wheelable platform having mounted thereon a refrigeration plant, adapted for removing heat from a bulk storage container being borne on the platform and containing a beverage for cooling; and
b. a beverage dispensing tap, connectable to the container, in fluid communication with the beverage, and mounted in thermally conductive relationship with the refrigeration plant,
whereby the refrigeration plant removes heat from the dispenser in preparation for dispensing of the beverage, the refrigeration plant comprises:
a receptacle wherein the container is receivable for cooling an external surface of the container;
an evaporative cooling coil operatively located against and in thermally conductive relationship with a wall of the receptacle
a refrigerant expansion chamber connected in thermally conducting relationship with a tubular conduit wherein the cooling coil is located on the outside of the receptacle wall,

wherein the dispensing tap includes the tubular conduit passing through the receptacle wall; and
wherein tubing through which refrigerant from the refrigerant plant flows is configured for selectively bypassing the expansion chamber.
