got the outlaws coming round for a meal and gonna try to make a beef and ale stew.
got the recipe from Jamie but just wondering what's the best ale to use
Theakstons all the way..thick, heavy and strong taste. The alcohol evaporates so dont believe the tosh of all getting drunk etc, also dont skimp use a large bottle,one swig for you, rest in the stew. a regular for me and the missus......oh yeh, stick some chestnuts in as well cook for longer than it says....
Agreed , any 'heavy' dark bitter or Stout . Stronger the better like Old Perculier (sp) or Guiness if nowt else available.
cheers lads i'll try the Old perculier
theakstons old peculiar.
McEwans Champion for me in my stew.
Hobgoblin or Guinness , something with a strong flavour.
I'd agree with the above.. Darker beers would work best but, in truth I doubt it would make much difference.
Of course you could use Carlsberg Special Brew 😈

Its probably a bit late for you now but I usually do this for New Years Day having pre-cooked the day before - that's the secret to a class Guinness caserole (I know, I know not ale!), long, slow and re-heated gets rid of any bitterness - as for the pickled walnuts I often don't half them and bung them in whole. Terrific dish

You need to marinade overnight or the meat does not absorb the flavour
