A tap member is arranged with a threaded lid directed into engagement with an upper end of the tap structure configured as a cylindrical housing, including a cavity receiving a compressed gas canister therewithin. Upon projection of the lid into the housing, the canister is pierced directing compressed gas from the canister into an underlying beer keg, whereupon beer is dispensed through a dispensing conduit.

A beer keg tap apparatus arranged for mounting to a beer keg cylindrical boss of a beer keg, wherein the apparatus comprises, a cylindrical housing, the cylindrical housing formed of a first diameter defined about a housing axis, with the housing including a housing bottom wall, and a clamping band
A beer keg tap apparatus arranged for mounting to a beer keg cylindrical boss of a beer keg, wherein the apparatus comprises, a cylindrical housing, the cylindrical housing formed of a first diameter defined about a housing axis, with the housing including a housing bottom wall, and a clamping band mounted about the cylindrical housing in surrounding relationship relative to the bottom wall, and the housing including a housing upper end, the upper end including a housing cavity directed into the housing from the housing upper end, and the upper end including an internally threaded bore of a second diameter less than the first diameter, and a housing lid arranged for reception within the housing upper end, with the housing lid including an externally threaded first portion arranged for securement to the internally threaded bore, and a compressed gas canister arranged for mounting within the housing cavity coaxially aligned about the housing axis, and a housing upper first conduit directed into the housing cavity projecting through the housing floor to effect pressurizing of the beer keg through the cylindrical boss, and an annular abutment step integrally mounted to the housing within the housing cavity positioned below the internally threaded bore, wherein the abutment step is orthogonally oriented relative to the housing axis, and a resilient “O”ring seal positioned upon the abutment step, and the housing lid including a housing lid abutment wall orthogonally oriented relative to the externally threaded first portion for engagement with the “O”ring seal, and a cylindrical alignment tube coaxially aligned relative to the housing lid mounted to a bottom surface thereof, with the alignment tube coaxially aligned with the housing axis when the lid is mounted to the cylindrical housing, and the compressed gas canister arranged for reception within the alignment tube, and the housing cavity includes a housing cavity conical lower end, and the housing cavity conical lower end in pneumatic communication with the housing upper first conduit, and the gas canister including a canister nozzle directed into the housing upper first conduit, and a conduit spike mounted within the housing upper first conduit for reception within the canister nozzle to effect rupture of the gas canister upon projection of the canister nozzle into the conduit spike, and a housing lower first conduit in pneumatic communication with the housing upper first conduit projects below the housing floor, and a housing second conduit projecting below the housing floor spaced from the housing lower first conduit, and a housing third conduit intersecting the housing second conduit in pneumatic communication therewith, wherein the housing third conduit includes a flexible hose projecting from the cylindrical housing, wherein the flexible hose includes a flow control nozzle and valve assembly mounted to a free distal end of the flexible hose, and a mixing container mounted within the flexible hose, the mixing container including a mixing container lid, with the mixing container lid including a lid conduit directed through the mixing container lid in fluid communication with the third conduit, with the third conduit directed through the flexible hose, and a flow conduit in fluid communication with the lid conduit directed into the mixing container, wherein the mixing container includes a mixing container floor, and the flow conduit is directed into the mixing container in adjacency to the container floor, and a vent opening directed through the container, and a slide plate support flange fixedly mounted to the lid to a top surface of the lid, wherein the support flange includes a slide plate housing mounted above the support flange, and a slide plate slidably mounted within the slide plate housing in contiguous communication to a top surface of the support flange, the slide plate including a slide plate opening, wherein the slide plate opening is arranged for coaxial alignment with the lid opening in a second position when the slide plate opening is directed into the slide plate housing from a first position when the slide plate opening is spaced from the slide plate housing, and at least one water soluble dye tablet arranged for mounting within the slide plate opening for projection into the slide plate housing to permit projection of the dye tablet into the container.
