The method for dispensing a liquid beverage of claim 3 wherein said providing a beverage dispensing bag step includes the valve means being separate from the container and operable upon engagement with a tube to keep the tube pinched closed unless actuated to unpinch the tube and permit liquid flow therethrough. 7. The method for dispensing a liquid beverage of claim 6 further including engaging the valve means with the tube to pinch closed the tube. 8. The method for dispensing a liquid beverage of claim 7 wherein said operating step includes actuating the valve means to unpinch the tube. 9. The method for dispensing a liquid beverage of claim 1 wherein said providing a beverage dispensing bag step includes the tube having a distal end that is removably closed and said method including opening the closed tube end before the operating step. 10. The method for dispensing a liquid beverage of claim 9 wherein said providing a beverage dispensing bag step includes the distal end of the tube having an opening and the tube including a plug removably plugging the distal opening, and wherein said method further includes removing the plug to open the tube end before performing the operating step. 11. A method for dispensing a liquid beverage, comprising the steps of: providing a container having a top and a bottom and defining a first opening at the top and a second opening proximal the bottom; providing a beverage dispensing bag including a flexible pouch having a top, a top edge, a bottom, first and second panels and a width and wherein the first and second panels define a first opening at the bag top and wherein at least one of the first and second panels defines a second opening near the bag bottom, and wherein said bag further includes liquid dispensing means including a tube connected to said pouch to permit a controlled flow of liquid from the second opening of said pouch, and wherein the first and second panels are permanently bonded together proximal the top of said poach to close the first pouch opening and are connected together at the bag top to releasably close the first pouch opening, and wherein the pouch has a perforation line extending across at least a majority of the width of the pouch to define a tear strip between the perforation line and the top edge of the pouch and includes the pouch having a closed condition with the tear strip connected to the first and second panels and the first pouch opening being closed, and an open condition with the tear strip torn away from the first and second panels and the first pouch opening being open; opening the first pouch opening by at least substantially tearing off the tear strip and substantially separating the first and second panels from each other at the top of the pouch; positioning the bag into the container with the tube extending out through the second opening of the container; inserting a liquid beverage through the first pouch opening and into the pouch; and, operating the liquid dispensing means to selectively release the liquid beverage out through the tube. 12. A method for dispensing a liquid beverage, comprising the steps of: providing a container having a top and a bottom and defining a first opening at the top and a second opening proximal the bottom; providing a beverage dispensing bag including a flexible pouch having a top, a top edge, a bottom, first and second panels and a width and wherein the first and second panels define a first opening at the bag top and wherein at least one of the first and second panels defines a second opening near the bag bottom, and wherein said bag further includes liquid dispensing means including a tube connected to said pouch to permit a controlled flow of liquid from the second opening of said pouch, and wherein the first and second panels are permanently bonded together proximal the top of said pouch to close the first pouch opening and are connected together proximal the bag top to releasably close the first pouch opening, and wherein the pouch has a perforation line extending across at least a majority of the width of the pouch to define a tear strip between the perforation line and the top edge of the pouch and has the first and second panels being tack sealed together proximal the top edge and below the perforation line and includes said pouch having a closed condition with the tear strip connected to the first and second panels and the first pouch opening being closed, and an open condition with the tear strip torn away from the first and second panels and the tack seal being broken and the first and second panels separated from one another to open the first pouch opening; opening the first pouch opening by at least substantially tearing off the tear strip and substantially separating the first and second panels from each other at the top of the pouch; positioning the bag into the container with the tube extending out through the second opening of the container; inserting a liquid beverage through the first pouch opening and into the pouch; and, operating the liquid dispensing means to selectively release the liquid beverage out through the tube. 13.
