Been considering a beer lineup to celebrate my eventual death. Anyone else doing this?

If we'd been planning ways to celebrate your demise, do you think we'd admit it?

I've half-thought about that (seriously), but haven't come up with a good recipe yet.
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.

Solo Therman rendition of Inagoda Da Vita.
Open bar.
And yes Too Much Time On My Hands.

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

We could bury you in the barrel afterwards.

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...

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.

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...
