Has anybody attempted this before?

The idea is to have a beer engine on a worktop on display but with the reservoir kept cool inside the fridge.

I’ve got a few ideas using 9L kegs. I much prefer this style of serving now.
 
Not me, but you know I am watching this real close.

Is this as simple as build the worktop and the box to fit the pump on (with enough room for a glass) and then "no nails" onto the top of a fridge?

I have been thinking about similar for just a corny no gas.

Edit. Seems I have forgotten how to spell

I wouldn't glue it on. The weight alone should be enough to hold it in place. It's not as though you'll be swinging... Oh right, maybe you should nail it on. 🤣
 
I have a plan…
Is it a full width box on top, with room inside (behind) to hide the gubbins? And the front half is a under the counter shelf for glasses?

Please don't say there is no pipes in the side of the fridge, so I am cutting through 😱

That's a terrible "advert"! "The most important aspect of serving cask ale is for the temperature to be correct, i.e., 50-56 degrees F" ... is it heck! 10-13C is even below CAMRA recommendations too, and I'd be happy if it was no less than 16C. "Important aspect"? I reckon the most important aspect is ignore whatever this bunch of morons tell you!

No reflection on you (@RoomWithABrew), just don't do it again!
 
I built the attached with Inkbird controller so served beer is about 50f.

But what about the 1/2 pint in the pump?

What I’m finding currently (all of it is in the fridge) I can pull a pint off a week later and it’s still good.
