A beverage tower having a solid cold block with glycol recirculation, the tap/valve is built into the cold block and is integral and fused thereto, so as to keep the entire beverage tap cold and maintain the beverages in a sanitary condition meeting health codes. The coolant lines within the cold block pass entirely around the tap in the cold block in serpentine fashion or in a coolant chamber, resulting in a tap which remains cooled effectively, while the cold block provides thermal inertia to the system. In particular, the entire valve stem and parts of the tap containing it are integral with and surrounded by the cold block. A method of construction is provided for an improved unitary integrated fused tapped cold block.

1. A beverage dispensing device comprising: a cold block having a body made of a heat conducting material, the cold block having no cavities therein, the cold block having a top and bottom;at least one stout tap, the stout tap embedded within the cold block, the stout tap having a bottom end projecting from the bottom of the cold block, the stout tap having a top end projecting from the top of the cold block, the stout tap having an internal valve assembly, the internal valve assembly within an exterior tap body of the stout tap, the exterior tap body being permanently embedded within the cold block;whereby the internal valve assembly is positioned within the cold block;at least one beverage channel passing through the cold block to the at least one stout tap;at least one coolant channel passing through the cold lock to the at least one stout tap and passing entirely about the exterior tap body within the cold block;the beverage channel and coolant channel being permanently embedded within the cold block. 2. The beverage dispensing device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the beverage channel, and the coolant channel, is serpentine within the cold block. 3. The beverage dispensing device of claim 2, further comprising: a beverage tower, the cold block disposed within the beverage tower. 4. The beverage dispensing device of claim 3, further comprising: a second stout tap embedded within the cold block, the second stout tap having an internal valve assembly positioned within an exterior tap body permanently embedded within the cold block;whereby the internal valve assembly is positioned within the cold block;a second beverage channel passing through the cold block to the second stout tap;the coolant channel passing through the cold block to the second stout tap and passing entirely about the second tap exterior tap body within the cold block. 5. The beverage dispensing device of claim 4, further comprising: a coolant return allowing coolant in the cold block coolant channel to re-circulate to a coolant cooling and re-circulation unit. 6. The beverage dispensing device of claim 5, further comprising: first and second beverage supplies. 7. The beverage dispensing device of claim 6, wherein the first and second beverage supplies further comprise containers having therein one member selected from the group consisting of: milk, non-dairy products, carbonated and non-carbonated beer, other alcoholic beverages, syrups, water, coffee and tea, fruit juice and combinations thereof.
