Abstract
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.

A beverage dispensing system comprising:
- 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;
- wherein each of the beverage dispensing devices is movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
- and
- wherein, 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.
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;
- and
- a 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 each of the beverage dispensing devices is movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
- and
- wherein, 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.
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;
