The drink supply canister of claim 10, wherein each of the flexible walls includes a plurality of edges. 12. The drink supply canister of claim 11, wherein the flexible walls have a shape which causes the edges to be biased toward each other. 13. The drink supply canister of claim 11, wherein the flexible walls are made of a resilient material which causes the edges to be biased toward each other. 14. The drink supply canister of claim 1, wherein the drink supply outlet valve has an open position and a closed position. 15. The drink supply canister of claim 14, wherein the drink supply outlet valve includes a first engaging member and a second engaging member which co-act to form said open position and said closed position. 16. The drink supply canister of claim 15, wherein the first engaging member includes a director which directs drink supply from the drink supply canister. 17. The drink supply canister of claim 15, wherein the second engaging member includes a movable closure member which moves relative to the first engaging member to form said open position and said closed position. 18. The drink supply canister of claim 15, wherein the second engaging member includes a rotatable closure member adapted to be rotated by a drink supply outlet valve actuator. 19. The drink supply canister of claim 15, wherein one of the first engaging member and second engaging member includes a sealing member adapted to engage the other engaging member to form a seal. 20. A drink supply canister for a beverage dispensing apparatus of a refrigeration device, said refrigeration device having a source of pressurized gas, said source having a gas supply line connected to said source, the drink supply canister comprising: a body having a first end, a second end and a liquid-holding space located between the first end and the second end, the body configured to be held by a portion of the refrigeration device such that the first end is located vertically below the second end, the first end having a mount surface and a wall connecting the mount surface to the body, the mount surface defining a plurality of openings, each one of the openings being in fluid communication with the liquid-holding space; a gas inlet valve mounted to the mount surface of the first end adjacent to, and in communication with, one of the openings, the gas inlet valve having at least one flexible wall, a portion of which wall being sized and shaped to sealingly engage with said supply line such that said flexible wall is flexible between: (i) a first position forming a seal; and (ii) a second position defining a passageway, the flexible wall being predisposed to have a first closed condition, the first condition changeable to a second open condition in response to the gas inlet valve being fluidly connected to said gas supply line of said source of pressurized gas, and a drink supply outlet valve mounted to the mount surface of said first end adjacent to, and in communication with, another one of the openings, the drink supply outlet valve having a rotatable outer member, the rotatable outer member having a substantially cylindrical exterior surface including a plurality of engagement members disposed substantially about a perimeter of the exterior surface, the engagement members being engagable by an actuator member, the drink supply outlet valve being operable to output a portion of a liquid contained in the liquid-holding space as a result of: (i) the drink supply outlet valve being opened; (ii) the gas inlet valve being opened; and (iii) pressurized gas of the source applying a pressure to the liquid in the liquid-holding space. 21.
