Abstract: A beverage dispensing system comprises an elongated housing, a dispensing line having a dispensing end and a keg connection end. The elongated housing defines a tapping end supporting a tap handle and a mounting end for mounting the system to a supporting surface. The elongated housing comprises a first housing part and a second housing part. The first housing part is pivotally connected to the second housing part so as to allow the first housing part and second housing part to be pivoted between a closed position and an open position. A longitudinal recess is provided within the elongated housing. The longitudinal recess is exposed when the first housing part and second housing part are in the open position. The longitudinal recess is concealed when the first housing part and second housing part are in the closed position. The housing parts allow, when in the open position, access to the recess for positioning the dispensing line into the elongated housing and in the recess and allow the recess to receive and retain the dispensing line.
