A flow adapter includes an adapter body which defines a central axial flow bore and one or more lateral flow openings for fluid communication between the central flow bore and a production tubing flowbore surrounding the adapter. The plate includes at least one rib integral with at least a portion of the lower surface of the plate. Various parameters, such as the temperature of the beverage can be monitored during the dispense, and the apparatus controlled, by adjusting the rate of rotation of the table, the rate of dispense of the beverage, or the angle at which the beverage impacts the side of the vessel, so as to produce a desired amount of head on the dispensed beverage. First and second ports are disposed on a circumference of the housing, and a fluid pathway is disposed intermediate the first and second ports. The operation device is disposed in a middle portion of the housing.
