The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A beverage cooling container comprising: a container body comprising a floor, a container wall extending from the floor, and a filling opening, the floor and the wall defining a contained area, the contained area having an upper end; a water level limiter, associated with the contained area, for limiting a water level in the contained area to a water level limit positioned between the floor and the filling opening, the water level limit defining a chilling zone having a chilling zone height extending between the floor and the limit, and defining an ice reserve zone for storing reserve ice to replenish the chilling zone, the reserve zone having a reserve zone height extending from the limit to the upper end, the reserve zone height being more than one-ninth the chilling zone height; and a beverage chiller, positioned at least partly within the chilling zone, configured to facilitate chilling within the chilling zone; whereby as ice in the chilling zone melts, ice from the ice reserve zone moves down to the chilling zone to replenish the chilling zone; and wherein the container body further comprises an anti-bridging element sized, shaped and positioned to prevent the bridging of ice in the ice reserve zone against the beverage chiller, and to facilitate the descent of the ice in the ice reserve zone to the chilling zone. 2. The container of claim 1, the container further including a cover configured to cover the filling opening. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the cover, floor and wall are insulated. 4. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice reserve zone height is between 40 and 60 percent of the chilling zone height. 5. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice reserve zone height is at least 30 percent of the chilling zone height. 6. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice reserve zone height is between about 90 and about 110 percent of the chilling zone height. 7. The container as claimed in claim 6, wherein the ice reserve zone volume is about 90 to 110 percent of the chilling zone volume. 8. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the beverage chiller comprises at least one chilling coil configured to carry the beverage therethrough and to conduct heat from the beverage to the chilling zone. 9. The container as claimed in claim 8 in combination with a beverage source in fluid communication with the chilling coil, and in combination with a beverage dispenser in fluid communication with the chilling coil, whereby chilled beverage may be dispensed from the beverage dispenser. 10. The container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the water level limiter comprises a drain to carry water out of the contained area once a water level in the contained area reaches the limit. 11. A container as claimed in claim 8, wherein the container includes a coil holder, fixed in the contained area, for holding the coil in the chilling zone. 12. A container as claimed in claim 11, wherein the coil holder is configured to maintain the shape of the coil. 13. A container as claimed in claim 8, wherein the limit is positioned such that the coil is entirely immersed in ice water when the chilling zone is full of ice water. 14. A method of cooling beverage, the method comprising: (1) providing a container as in claim 1; (2) filling the container substantially to the upper end with ice pieces; and (3) filling the container with water up to the limit. 15. A container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the anti-bridging element is positioned adjacent the beverage chiller and extends into the ice reserve zone. 16. A container as claimed in claim 15, wherein the beverage chiller comprises at least one chilling coil formed in a generally cylindrical shape, and wherein the anti-bridging element comprises a generally cylindrical element extending from the coil into the ice reserve zone. 17. A container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the anti-bridging element is removably attachable to the chiller.
