This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would also recommend using a darker beer for a more flavorful stew.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. The meat was fall-apart tender and the vegetables were still slightly firm. I served it with crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.
