In one embodiment, a beverage dispensing system includes a plurality of beverage dispensing devices, and a plurality of beverage hoses, each of the beverage hoses to provide fluid communication between one of the beverage dispensing devices and a beverage source, each of the beverage hoses passing through an aperture formed in a surface. Each of the beverage dispensing devices is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, a beverage dispensing device is moved toward a beverage container and a beverage hose is pulled through the aperture and toward a user-facing side of the surface, the beverage dispensing device adapted to dispense a beverage into the beverage container while in the extended position.

1. A beverage dispensing system comprising: a plurality of beverage dispensing devices; anda plurality of beverage hoses, each of the beverage hoses to provide fluid communication between one of the beverage dispensing devices and a beverage source, each of the beverage hoses passing through an aperture formed in a surface, the beverage source located in a cooler;wherein at least a portion of each of the plurality of beverage hoses is cooled;wherein each of the plurality of beverage hoses is movable, through the aperture, between an extended position and a retracted position; andwherein, in the extended position, a beverage dispensing device is moved toward a beverage container and a beverage hose is pulled through the aperture and toward a user-facing side of the surface, the beverage dispensing device adapted to dispense a beverage into the beverage container while in the extended position. 2. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein, in the retracted position, the beverage hose is retracted into the aperture such that the beverage dispensing device is moved toward the surface. 3. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the surface is one of a plurality of walls forming the cooler; and wherein the aperture provides a space within which the beverage hose is movable into and out of the cooler. 4. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein, in the extended position, a first length of beverage hose is exposed on the user-facing side of the surface; wherein, in the retracted position, a second length of beverage hose is exposed on the user-facing side of the surface; andwherein the first length is longer than the second length. 5. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein each of the beverage hoses has a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the beverage hoses coupled to one of the beverage dispensing devices, the second end of each of the beverage hoses coupled to one of a plurality of beverage dispensing sources. 6. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the beverage dispensing device comprises a stem portion adapted to be inserted into the beverage container while the beverage dispensing device is in the extended position, the beverage to be dispensed into the beverage container while the stem portion is at least partially inserted into the beverage container. 7. The beverage dispensing system of claim 6, wherein the stem portion comprises a dispensing end from which the beverage is dispensed, the dispensing end adapted to be adjacent the bottom of the beverage container while the beverage is dispensed into the beverage container. 8. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the beverage dispensing device comprises a beverage release selector, the beverage to be dispensed from the beverage dispensing device when the beverage release selector is selected. 9. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the beverage dispensing device is adapted to dispense beer, and the beverage source is a beer keg. 10. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the beverage dispensing devices is further adapted to dispense a gas, the system further comprising: at least one gas hose, each of the at least one gas hoses to provide fluid communication between one of the beverage dispensing devices and a gas source. 11. The beverage dispensing system of claim 10, wherein the gas is adapted to be dispensed into the beverage container prior to dispensing the beverage into the beverage container. 12. A beverage dispensing system comprising: a plurality of beverage dispensing devices adapted to selectively dispense a beverage and a gas;a plurality of beverage hoses, each of the beverage hoses to provide fluid communication between one of the beverage dispensing devices and one or more beverage sources, the one or more beverage sources located in a cooler; anda plurality of gas hoses, each of the gas hoses to provide fluid communication between one of the beverage dispensing devices and one or more gas sources;wherein at least a portion of each of the plurality of beverage hoses is cooled;wherein each of the plurality of beverage hoses is movable, through an aperture in a surface, between an extended position and a retracted position; andwherein, in the extended position, the beverage dispensing device is movable toward a beverage container, the beverage dispensing device adapted to dispense at least one of the gas or the beverage into the beverage container while in the extended position. 13. The beverage dispensing system of claim 12, wherein the beverage dispensing devices are retracted toward the surface when in the retracted position, the surface forming one of more apertures through which the beverage hoses and the gas hoses are movable. 14. The beverage dispensing system of claim 12, wherein the gas is dispensed into the beverage container prior to dispensing the beverage into the beverage container such that the beverage container is at least partially filled with the gas prior to the beverage being dispensed into the beverage container. 15. A method for dispensing a beverage comprising: extending at least one of a plurality of beverage dispensing devices away from a surface, the at least one beverage dispensing device coupled to a beverage hose providing fluid communication between the at least one beverage dispensing device and a beverage source, the beverage hose passing through an aperture in the surface, the beverage source located in a cooler;positioning the at least one beverage dispensing device adjacent a beverage container; anddispensing beverage into the beverage container using the beverage dispensing device;wherein at least a portion of the beverage hose is cooled; andwherein the beverage hose is movable, through the aperture, between an extended position and a retracted position. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising: retracting the beverage dispensing device toward the surface after dispensing the beverage into the beverage container. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising: dispensing a gas into the beverage container prior to dispensing the beverage into the beverage container. 18. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, further comprising: a sanitation tray adapted to contain a liquid, at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of beverage dispensing devices adapted to be submerged in the liquid when the at least one of the plurality of beverage dispensing devices is in the retracted position. 19. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the surface is a cooler wall. 20. The beverage dispensing system of claim 4, wherein at least a portion of the first length of beverage hose is cooled when the beverage hose is in the retracted position.
