Beer & Me

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was making some Guinness stew. A reader commented that she’d like to have the recipe and I promised to posted. Then I completely forgot to do that!

So, while I expect that Jen has lost patience with me and gone elsewhere for the recipe, I’ll go ahead and give you this link to my beef and Guinness stew recipe.

This is great stuff, especially for cold days like we’re having right now in my hemisphere. It’s damn tasty with Guinness but I encourage you to try it with other stouts or porters. Why not stop in at your local brewpub and pick up a fresh growler of the good black stuff? You’ll have enough for the recipe and plenty left over to serve with the stew.

Cheers!

With cold weather finally here to stay it I thought that a nice pot of Guinness Stew would be in order. My wife was headed for the grocery store so I asked that she grab a six-pack of the good black stuff and some beef.

Upon returning she had quite a rant built up. She shook the stout in my face and said, “Can you believe that they only had this in the refrigerated section? I told the guy that that is blaspheme and that they should be ashamed! Guinness should NEVER be cold!”

I don’t know if I’d go that far. I don’t like my beer ice-cold but I do prefer it a little chillier than the room.
