Summary:A beverage tower having a cold block with glycol recirculation, the tap/valve is built into the cold block, so as to keep the entire beverage tap cold and maintain the beverages in a sanitary condition meeting health codes. The glycol lines within the cold block pass around the tap in the cold block in serpentine fashion or in a coolant chamber, resulting in a tap which remains cooled effectively, while the cold block provides thermal inertia to the system. Serpentine channels may further be used so that the beverage passing through the beverage supply channels has a longer run in contact with the conductive material of the cold block and more opportunity to reject heat. Various types of towers may benefit from the present invention: traditional, hand-operated, automated, multiple-tap, towers also otherwise cooled, decorative towers and so on.
