0.6 Widget -- " A small mechanical device or control; a gadget." so says
answers.com. So..a widget could be anything small and mechanical. There
are lots of small mechanical things used in beer production. Valves, small
pipes, dials, knobs, its all there. Again..a possible reference to beer,
this time the production and maybe dispensing of it. (Note: nuclear power
also uses small mechanical devices).

In the UK the little thing in a bottom of a can of some beers is called a widget, it gives a nice head...
