    Would you bring beer to the grave with you and if so, which one? What represents you the best as a person, so much so you have to buy a little wooden coffin to place it beside you? I am having trouble narrowing it down myself (by style, by name, or both...I can't decide), but since the thought was in my head...I figured I would ask some fellow BA chums.

    This is completely nuts and strangely interesting.

    I wouldn't, but if i DID it would have to be Founders Breakfast Stout (see left), because much like me it's wholesome but has a lot of character, highly touted yet accessible, a double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout, wait i'm not that, but you take my point.

    Since I plan on being cremated, the answer should be no, but just for fun, here's my list:

    Genesee Cream Ale - My first love
    Bud Light - Got me thru my first marriage, and is still my go to mass produced American brew
    Jack Daniels Black Label - I cheated on beer a lot during my 20s
    Heady and Zombie Dust - I'm convinced I'll never get either of these while I'm alive
    Rochefort 10 - no explanation required

    Sounds like a good idea. As my still-living bud(s) would be buying this particular round, I'll let 'em pick which one.

    No way brother!!!! The last thing I want to worry about while trapped in a box six feet under is having to take a leak!!!

    I'll likely have several bottles. What I am going to trade with in the afterlife if I don't have any ammo?

    That has never crossed my mind. Neither had taking beer to Delivery room/hospital where my wife and babies were.
    I wouldn't want any, but it's still a neat idea to think about.

    Screw the little box beside me...I want to be doused in beer...Natural burial, no boxes...and Zombie Dust seems the appropriate elixir...just in case there is a zombie apocalypse.

    I'd take some Full Pint, Night Of The Living Stout, in hopes it would reanimate me,thus giving me the ability to drink more beer!

    Beer is for drinking, not dying.

    Beer is an earthly thing. I wouldn't dream of taking my largest vice into the grave with me.

    I would want to go out like the grandfather in Beerfest! Drink a few then pull the plug. Enjoyment to the end. Oh, and off the top of my head, Augustiner Helles.

    I want all my friends to go out and drink some great beers in my memory. To hell with them burying me with a good beer that will just go to waste. Drink that bad boy in my honor!

    I want my favorite beer in my favorite tankard gripped more tightly in death than it was in life. I'll need some help with this, but I am sure I can think of a few friends who would do it even without being asked.

    If so, id bury my cellar instead of myself in the coffin and then have it dug up a few years later for my friends to enjoy

    "Please don't bury me
    down in that cold, cold ground
    no, I'd rather have 'em cut me up
    and pass me all around.
    Throw my brain in a hurricane,
    and the blind can have my eyes,
    and the deaf take have both of my ears
    if they don't mind the size..."*

    ...and pass around what's left of my beers while you're at it. :grinning:

    *mucho appreciation to Mr. Prine
