The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for distributing a beverage comprising a dispenser configured to be coupled to a shaft, the dispenser having a number of discharge ports coupled to a perimeter of a drum in a spaced-apart relation to one another, a beverage receptacle platform coupled to the shaft and arranged in spaced-apart relation below the drum and directly below the number of discharge ports, and a basin including an outer side wall and a bottom wall, the basin surrounding a lower portion of the shaft, the outer side wall and the bottom wall cooperating to define an interior region, the bottom wall being further formed to include an aperture to allow discharge of waste liquids from the basin. 2. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 1, wherein the number of discharge ports are arranged in a 360-degree orientation around the drum. 3. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 1, wherein the shaft is formed to include a hollow axial bore configured to receive a beverage supply tube therewithin. 4. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 1, wherein the beverage receptacle platform includes a plate coupled to the shaft below the drum, the plate extending horizontally away from the shaft and configured to support a beverage receptacle in a position beneath the discharge port to receive a beverage from the discharge port. 5. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 1, wherein each discharge port includes a spigot and a control valve coupled to the spigot, the control valve having a control valve actuator and configured to control the flow of the beverage from the spigot, the control valve actuator configured to allow a user to operate the control valve so that the beverage can be dispensed from the spigot. 6. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 5, wherein each control valve actuator is a palm-receiving rod. 7. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 1, wherein the outer side wall includes a frustoconical upper portion coupled to a cylindrical lower portion to form a unitary structure. 8. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 7, wherein the basin further includes a first aperture to receive a supply line and a second aperture to receive a waste outlet. 9. An apparatus for distributing a beverage comprising a central tower, a dispenser mounted on the central tower including a drum and a number of taps arranged in 360-degree spaced-apart relation around the drum, and a basin coupled to the central tower and including an outer side wall and a bottom wall formed to include an outlet, the basin being arranged concentrically with the central tower, the central tower extending upwardly from a center portion of the basin, wherein the dispenser includes a supply line in fluid communication with the number of taps and configured to be coupled to a beverage source, and wherein the central tower is a hollow shaft configured to receive the supply line. 10. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 9, wherein a beverage receptacle platform is coupled to the central tower below the number of taps, the beverage receptacle platform extending horizontally away from the central tower and configured to receive a beverage receptacle thereon to position the beverage receptacle beneath the number of taps to receive a beverage from the number of taps. 11. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 9, wherein the basin is concentrically arranged with the dispenser. 12. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 11, wherein the bottom wall is conically-shaped to drain liquids toward the outlet. 13. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 9, wherein the drum of the dispenser is annular. 14. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 9, wherein the drum of the dispenser is rectangular. 15. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 9, wherein the supply line is coupled to the dispenser and arranged to depend from an overhead structure. 16. An apparatus for distributing a beverage comprising a vertical shaft including a supply line adapted to be coupled to a beverage supply source, a drum mounted to the vertical shaft including a number of discharge ports arranged in spaced-apart relation 360-degrees around the drum, the discharge ports being in fluid communication with the supply line, a beverage receptacle platform coupled to the vertical shaft below the drum and extending radially outwardly therefrom, and a basin coupled to the vertical shaft having a waste outlet, the basin positioned below the beverage receptacle platform, concentrically aligned with the drum and having a mouth portion wider than the drum and a conically-shaped bottom wall to allow fluid access to the waste line. 17. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 16, further comprising a water supply line coupled to the basin. 18. The apparatus for distributing a beverage of claim 16, wherein the basin includes a port to provide access to an interior portion of the basin.
