An apparatus and method for serving beer at proper CO2 content and proper temperature for best taste, comprises a draft tower for distributing beer at the proper gas content and at the proper temperature. A plurality of beer barrels connected in series are in turn connected to the draft tower by a pipeline. A CO2 gas cylinder is connected to the barrels for supplying gas at an elevated pressure sufficient to move the beer from the barrels along the pipeline to the tower. A heater is provided for heating the barrel to an elevated temperature above the proper temperature for taste, so that the gas content in the barrel does not rise above the proper gas content under the influence of possibly elevated pressure needed to convey the beer. Near or at the draft tower, the beer is recooled to the proper temperature and thus served at a proper temperature and with the proper gas content.

A method for serving beer at a draft tower and at a selected CO2 gas content and a serving temperature, comprising: pressurizing a barrel containing beer using CO2 at a selected pressure which is above 1.6 atmosphere and which is thus sufficient to supply the beer along a pipeline and through the draft tower which is connected to the barrel through the pipeline; changing the temperature of the barrel to a selected temperature at which beer in the barrel retains the gas content under the selected pressure, the selected temperature being different from the serving temperature; and cooling the beer to the serving temperature, adjacent the tower so that beer dispensed by the draft tower is at the serving temperature and has the selected CO2 gas content.
