Abstract:
The present invention relates to a beverage font ( 10 ) for a beverage dispensing system. The beverage font ( 10 ) comprising a mixing conduit ( 24 ) having a first inlet ( 24 A) for receiving a pressurized beverage defining a first alcoholic percentage and a second inlet ( 26 ) for receiving an additive defining a second alcoholic percentage. The mixing conduit ( 24 ) further having an outlet ( 18 ) for supplying a mixed alcoholic beverage product constituting a mixture of the beverage and the additive. The font ( 10 ) further comprising a control unit ( 38 ) for receiving a parameter representing a specific alcoholic percentage or a specific concentration of the additive relative to the mixed alcoholic beverage. The control unit ( 38 ) being capable of causing the additive to flow from the second inlet ( 26 ) to the mixing conduit for generating a flow of the mixed alcoholic beverage defining the specific alcoholic percentage or the specific concentration of the additive relative to the mixed alcoholic beverage through the outlet ( 18 ).

Claim (Index 16):
A beverage font for a beverage dispensing system, said beverage font comprising:\n a mixing conduit including (a) a first inlet configured for receiving a pressurized beverage having a first alcoholic percentage, (b) a second inlet configured for receiving an additive compatible with said pressurized beverage and having a second alcoholic percentage, and (c) an outlet configured for supplying a mixed alcoholic beverage product comprising a mixture of said pressurized beverage and said additive, said first inlet comprising an electronically controlled main valve, said second inlet comprising an electronically controlled additive valve; a tapping handle having a dispensing position in which said electronically controlled main valve is open for generating a constant flow of said pressurized beverage from said first inlet via said mixing conduit to said outlet, and a non-dispensing position, in which said electronically controlled main valve is closed for preventing said pressurized beverage from flowing from said first inlet to said mixing conduit; and a control unit configured for receiving input defining a selected value of a mixture parameter, said control unit being operable to control said electronically controlled additive valve when said tapping handle is in said dispensing position and based on said selected value of said mixture parameter, thereby causing said additive to flow from said second inlet to said mixing conduit for generating a flow of said mixed alcoholic beverage product having said selected value of said mixture parameter through said outlet.
