Abstract

Draft beer monitoring apparatus in which the amount of beer dispensed is indicated in terms of the sales price, the indicator being controlled by a pair of pulsers operating at different rates associated with the dispensing of a glass or a pitcher of beer. The glass-rate pulser is actuated upon the operation of a switch when the dispensing tap is initially opened. If the tap remains open for a period of time greater than that required to fill a glass, a timer automatically actuates the pitcher-rate pulser instead of the glass-rate pulser.
