Brewing for your own funeral
Been considering a beer lineup to celebrate my eventual death. Anyone else doing this?

Re: Brewing for your own funeral
If we'd been planning ways to celebrate your demise, do you think we'd admit it? 

Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.

I've half-thought about that (seriously), but haven't come up with a good recipe yet.mr x wrote:Been considering a beer lineup to celebrate my eventual death. Anyone else doing this?
If I was brewing for me, it'd be a hop-bomb. But I don't think I'm going to kick the bucket in the next couple of months, so it'll have faded by the time anyone could enjoy it.
So maybe a barrel-aged American Barleywine.

I think the barrel project is the ticket. Served with Styx.

Re: Brewing for your own funeral
I thought I would be cremated and used as finings for a cask ale....

Or inoculate a beer with you. I'd imagine it would be a bit worse than a sweaty NASH beer...KMcK wrote:We could bury you in the barrel afterwards.mr x wrote:I think the barrel project is the ticket. Served with Styx.

In case of your eary demise, I figure I'd drink an APA to you.
In my own case, I figure I have another 50 years to figure out what to do after I'm gone... probably by then I'll have dementia and won't
have a clue about anything anyway.

Re: Brewing for your own funeral
hmmmmm...a cask barrel wake. With Styx. Shove me in the barrel when it's empty and throw me over a bridge. Or maybe bury me in a hopyard...

Re: Brewing for your own funeral
Dude, the reason your going in the barrell is to ferment!!



"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
