If I built a bar and made an insulated box under the bar and installed a window air conditioner in it, would it be enough to cool the beer?
 
Interesting ideas, but there are a lot of details where things could go wrong (condensation, leaks, temp control and AC strain).

I can see your idea of a custom fridge/freezer, but it might be a whole lot easier to go with something an engineer designed :cross:
 
A window AC unit will only get down to about 55°F at the lowest and will be very noisy (because it's designed to cool a room, not a box).

Instead, I would pick up a used fridge and use the guts out of it ... or better yet, a used chest freezer and just use it as-is (with a modified temp controller, of course).

Good luck!
