- the control device 7 opens the second cock 2B and the second valve V2. By this operation, the cold beverage inside the beverage container 1 is supplied from the second cock 2B via the second pipe 42. Further, the gas G enters the fourth pipe 44 from the outside of the tank 5, and the gas G flows into the beverage container 1 through the fourth pipe 44. When the cold beverage supply mode ends, the control device 7 closes the second cock 2B and the second valve V2 again. By this operation, the inflow of the gas G from the fourth pipe 44 into the beverage container 1 is stopped, and the supply of the beverage from the beverage container 1 to the second cock 2B is also stopped.
- the control device 7 opens only the valve V, similarly to the beverage server 200 described above. Further, in the sterilization mode, the control device 7 turns on the sterilization heater 6 and the sterilization heater 8. The heat from the sterilization heater 6 goes to the needle N1 via the second pipe 42 and the first pipe 41. Further, the inside of the fifth pipe 53 can be sterilized by the heat from the sterilization heater 8. When the sterilization mode ends, the control device 7 closes the valve V again and turns off the sterilization heater 6 and the sterilization heater 8.
- the beverage server 300 as described above can exert almost the same effect as the above-mentioned effect of the beverage server 200.
- only one beverage container 1 is connected to the tank 5.
- a plurality of beverage containers 1 may be connected to the tank 5.
- a plurality of first pipes 41 may be connected to the tank 5.
- the upper end of the first pipe 41 may be branched into a plurality of parts.
