beer tap
Keg's pouring valve
A beer tap is the handle or valve used to dispense draft beer from a keg or cask.
In bars, the tap connects to a pressurized system that pushes beer through lines to the faucet.
The phrase also refers to the entire dispensing apparatus: They have twenty beers on tap.
To have something on tap figuratively means readily available.
