Claim 7:
8. A system for selectively managing dispensing of a portion of a liquid volume stored in a pressurized environment, the system comprising:
an incompressible, pressurized container including a hollow housing portion and an outer portion, the pressurized container being airtight and operable to maintain a pressure level in an internal pressurized environment in the hollow housing portion, the pressurized container including a portal to allow access to the hollow housing portion and enabling a first compressible container to be stored within the hollow housing portion;
a dispensing system including a plurality of liquid transport conduits, the plurality of liquid transport conduits including a first liquid transport conduit, the first liquid transport conduit extending from the outer portion through a pressurized container interface to the hollow housing portion of the pressurized container, the pressurized container interface capable of maintaining the pressure level in the internal pressurized environment in the hollow housing portion, an end of the first liquid transport conduit within the hollow housing portion of the pressurized container including a releasable connection capable of releasably creating a sealed connection to the compressible container, another end of the first liquid transport conduit being outside the outer portion of the pressured container and being coupled to a dispenser, the first liquid transport conduit including a valve to enable or disable a flow of the liquid volume;
a carbonation component coupled to the first liquid transport conduit and configured to selectively add carbonation to the flow of the liquid volume;
a pressure regulation system connected to the pressurized container, the pressure regulation system including at least one pressure conduit extending from the outer portion through a pressure interface and into the hollow housing portion of the pressurized container, the pressure regulation system operable to exert and maintain the pressure level within the pressurized container to enable compression of the first compressible container in the internalized pressurized environment; and
a control system operable to selectively open and close the valve, the control system being remotely operable to control the pressure regulation system to exert the pressure level in the internal pressurized environment to enable compression of the compressible pressurized container in the internal pressurized environment.
