    Instead of shoveling dirt onto my casket, people can shovel all of the beer bottle caps I've been saving onto my casket for ceremonial purposes. Don't want any good beer to go to waste buried 6 feet under. That's a bad BA move there IMO.

    creapier thought. why not get cremated and use the ashes to brew a smoked or salty beer.

    I'd rather have the image of a bottle or two of whatever beer I choose etched onto my tombstone.

    I've never thought about this, but the idea is interesting.

    Probably I would take Westmalle Tripel, Orval, Rochefort 10, Westvleteren XII, Sixpoint Resin and Ballast Point Sculpin.

    If I must choose just one it would be Orval.

    Your option is creepier than the OP!

    Its a sort of cannibalism...

    Maybe there already are people buried with a bottle of beer next to them in the coffin. We should probably start digging up some graves to find old yeast.

    I intend to empty my cellar before I go (given the opportunity). A better thread might be: "What beer perfectly matches your personality?"

    I'd rather not run the risk of having any of you creepy weirdos dig my corpse up in the future to get to the well aged beer.

    Just fill my casket with the pile of empty bottles I'll probably be surrounded with when they find my body. :grinning:

    Not quite the same line of the thread, but I told my son some time ago that I'd like him to sing, "The Parting Glass" (see Clancy Brothers/Makem) at whatever memorial they have for me. As far as the beer goes, I'll drink it before I go.

    They don't let you have beer when you are a classroom skeleton.

    My wife already hates my beer hobby, doubt she'd be okay burying me with the thing that will probably lead to an early death. Seriously. But to be honest, no, i wouldn't even want to have a beer in the grave. My stomach, tongue, and any other body part needed for beer is going to decompose, you know.

    I'd like to be embalmed "Uncle Fester Style", but I'm pretty sure I'll rise again during the Zombie wars.
    No need for a beer while I'm down there.

    Bury me with one, so future archaeologists might uncover my body and try my favorite beer
