The invention relates to the field of food industry, more particularly, to commercial equipment, and is useful in apparatuses for dispensing beer and other foaming and/or carbonated beverages from an isobaric storage to plastic bottles or glasses for sale in retail kiosks, shops, restaurants, and bars. The technical result of the present invention is a simplified maintenance both of the apparatus for a manual dispensing of beverages as a whole due to excluding the need for a sanitary treatment of a part of the filling pipe each time a container is filled and a simplified maintenance of taps due to eliminating the need for frequent washing of units and parts of these means after the dispensing of beer or another beverage is over. The technical result is reached by two embodiments of the three-way cock (6364), which are installed in the apparatus for a manual dispensing of foaming and/or carbonated beverages to uncovered containers (54). The apparatus includes a housing (52) with a stage (53) for positioning an uncovered container (54) thereon and a filling pipe (55) mounted thereon for feeding a beverage, one end of the pipe (55) being arranged above the place where the uncovered container (54) is positioned. The apparatus is equipped with a cap (56) which is hermetically fastened to the stage, with an option of being disconnected, under which there are the filling pipe (55) and the place where the uncovered container (54) is positioned; a unit for fastening the cap and supplying or removing the container (54) from under it; and a unit for supplying under pressure a beverage or gas to underneath the cap (56) and removing the gas therefrom.
