This looks nice, and makes it easy to serve, but the beer foams up more.

When the beer is cold in the keg, but travels up a warm tube to the faucet, that’s what causes the foaming. By keeping the tubing inside the can, you don’t get that temperature difference before the beer hits your glass.

Unless you’re going to be leaving it unattended for a week, you’ll just be wasting ice.

A good, heavy-duty can is a pretty good insulator, as long as you leave the lid down. With the smallest can that will work, all the ice you put in will stay on top of the keg, or right up against the sides where you want it. Go for a big one and the ice will just fall to the bottom.
