What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for dispensing a beverage, comprising a housing provided with at least one connecting element for connecting to a container, and a pressure body, made as a separate part from said housing, movable relative to said housing and carrying a dispensing channel extending outside said housing, further comprising an operating arm which is pivotal around a pivotal axis connected to said housing and in a position of rest extending from said housing distanced from said at least one connecting element, wherein said pressure body is provided at least partly within said housing adjacent said pivoting arm, such that upon pivotal movement of said pivoting arm around said pivotal axis said pressure body is moved relative to said housing, said pressure body being removable from said apparatus for cleaning while said housing remains attached to said container and then being reinstallable in said apparatus. 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a beverage container provided with a dispensing valve, said housing being connected to said container by said at least one connecting element, such that said pressure body is provided between said operating arm and said beverage valve and upon a pivotal movement of the arm from said position of rest, the pressure body is moved and the valve is opened by the pressure body. 3. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said operating arm includes, in said position of rest, an angle with a plane at right angles to a longitudinal axis of the dispensing valve. 4. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein in the position of rest and the pivoting arm being in contact with the pressure body, the pivoting arm includes an angle between 45 and 135 degrees with said plane. 5. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said arm extends in said position of rest, substantially vertically. 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the arm, for opening the valve, can and must perform a pivotal movement in the direction directed towards the dispensing channel. 7. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pressure body is detachable from the valve, such that it can be used with several beverage containers or can be cleaned separately from the beverage container. 8. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pressure body is provided with a connecting means for coupling it to the valve, such that a channel in the pressure body on the one hand, is in fluid communication with a passage of the valve and, on the other hand, is or can be brought in fluid communication with the dispensing channel, wherein said housing is arranged at least partly over the pressure body, wherein the pivoting arm is pivotally connected to the housing part and has a pressure surface abutting the pressure body, at least during pushing down of the pressure body in or towards a position opening the valve. 9. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the pressure surface contains a bent lower face of the pivoting arm which abuts a top side of the pressure body, wherein the lower face is located other than concentrically relative to a pivot axis of the pivoting arm. 10. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in the container a pressure device is provided in which a pressure gas is received under excess pressure, wherein a control device is provided with which said pressure gas is dispensed into the container in a dosed manner, such that within the container a relatively constant excess pressure relative to the surroundings is maintained. 11. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pivoting arm comprises an outer surface onto which recognition means are included for identification of the beverage received in the container. 12. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the valve comprises a stem provided with a connecting channel closed at a first end, wherein in the outer wall of the stem a number of passage openings are provided for forming a fluid communication of the connecting channel with the surroundings, wherein the passage opening or the passage openings jointly have a passage surface being approximately as large as or smaller than the passage surface of the connecting channel. 13. An apparatus according to claim 12, wherein between 2 and 4 passage openings are provided. 14. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein upstream of the valve a riser is provided, wherein in the flow-path for the beverage, except from near and in the dispensing valve, only bends are included with a bending radius which is larger than at least twice the largest cross section of the passage surface at a respective bend. 15. An apparatus according to claim 14, wherein said bending radius is more than 3 times said largest cross section. 16. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the riser, the valve and the dispensing channel are dimensioned such that during use a pressure drop occurs there across between approximately 0.4 and 1.5 bar. 17. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein across the valve at least approximately one-third of the pressure drop occurs. 18. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the pressure drop over the dispensing channel is between approximately 0.3 and 0.1 bar. 19. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the dispensing channel adjacent a free end thereof widens to some extent. 20. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the at least one connecting element is provided as clamping means with which the housing can be clamped onto a curled edge provided around the valve.
