(54) Liquid container and dispenser


(57) A collapsible multilayer bag (10) formed from a plurality of substantially impermeable plastics sheets (14, 15,16) joined together around their peripheries is located within an inextensible outer casing, e.g. a cylindrical cardboard casing (11) with end plates (12, 13). Liquid, such as beer, can be filled into a first interlayer space (27) of the bag (10) via first inlet/outlet means (17) against a counter pressure provided by a pressure medium, such as air or water, in second interlayer space (28) which is gradually bled off via second inlet/outlet means (18). The liquid is subsequently dispensed by controlled supply of pressure medium to the second interlayer space (28) so as to exert pressure on the liquid filled space (27).
