Abstract
A resilient faucet extension functions both as a nozzle and guard attachment and is particularly well adapted for beer faucets. The nozzle design controls the angle and rate of beer delivery to a glass so as to reduce foaming, while the resilient extended portion of the attachment serves to absorb impacts between glasses, or similar items such as glass pitchers, ceramic beer steins, and the like, and a dispensing unit, such as a faucet, to thus reduce chipping and breaking of the glass items.
