A method of dispensing a malt-based beverage into a receptacle ready for consumption and for use in an on-trade or off-trade environment, comprising the steps of:
- composing a first component of the dispensed beverage during dispensing by mixing a liquid beer concentrate or flat beer concentrate with carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen in a first mixing chamber;
- adding the first component, after the mixing in the first mixing chamber, to at least a second beverage component in a second mixing chamber separate from the first mixing chamber, the second beverage component comprising a diluent;
- wherein said carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen is scented.
A device for dispensing a malt-based beverage into a receptacle ready for consumption and for use in an on-trade or off-trade environment, wherein the device comprises at least:
- a source of scented carbon dioxide and/or scented nitrogen;
- a source of a liquid;
- a first mixing chamber configured for mixing scented carbon dioxide and/or scented nitrogen supplied from the source of scented carbon dioxide and/or scented nitrogen, with a beer concentrate or a flat beer concentrate supplied from the source of liquid, into a first beverage component in the first mixing chamber;
- a source of a second beverage component comprising a diluent;
- a second mixing chamber configured for mixing the first beverage component with the second beverage component;
- and
- a dispensing device for dispensing the first beverage component and the second beverage component from the second mixing chamber into the receptacle so to form a dispensed malt-based beverage.
A method of dispensing a malt-based beverage comprising the steps of:
- providing a diluent;
- providing a liquid which is a beer concentrate or a flat beer concentrate;
- providing a source of a scented carbon dioxide and/or scented nitrogen;
- treating said beer concentrate or said flat beer concentrate by guiding the scented carbon dioxide or scented nitrogen there through so to form a first component of the beverage in a first mixing chamber;
- providing, separately from the first component, in a second mixing chamber separate from the first mixing chamber, a second beverage component comprising a diluent to the first component;
- and
- dispensing the first component and the second component from the second mixing chamber into a receptacle thereby obtaining a beverage ready for consumption.
