We claim: 1 . A beverage dispenser capable of dispensing one or more limited time offering beverages, comprising: a dispensing valve; a limited time offering ingredient source; and a limited time offering circuit extending between the dispensing valve and the limited time offering ingredient source; wherein the limited time offering circuit comprises a stainless steel line extending between the dispensing valve and the limited time offering ingredient source. 2 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 3 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises a flow controller, wherein the flow controller comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 4 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises a solenoid, wherein the solenoid comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 5 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the limited time offering circuit comprises a limited time offering pump in communication with the stainless steel line. 6 . The beverage dispenser of claim 5 , wherein the limited time offering pump comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 7 . The beverage dispenser of claim 5 , wherein the limited time offering pump comprises a carbon dioxide powered pump in communication with a carbon dioxide source. 8 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , further comprises an ice chamber and wherein the stainless steel line extends through the ice chamber. 9 . The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , further comprising a diluent circuit in communication with the dispensing valve. 10 . A method of changing over a bag-in-box of a beverage dispenser, comprising: disconnecting a stainless steel line from an existing bag-in-box; placing the stainless steel line a sanitation solution; flushing the stainless steel line for a predetermined duration; sanitizing a dispensing nozzle; connecting the stainless steel line to a new bag-in-box; and priming the stainless steel line.
