You've heard of Guinness Stew... I don't think that the Guinness adds enough beer flavor for a hearty beef stew. If you add the beer you want to taste it not waste it so I've cranked up the beer flavor with a full flavored dark amber 8% beer.

Make sure the liquid covers the ingredients while simmering. If it needs more liquid add some more beer or water.

Serve over mashed potatoes and garnish with a sprig or two of fresh Thyme.

Serve with a cool Maudite and Enjoy!
