Home Cooking: Irish Stew

It was a bit of a blustery day here in Halifax, and lately, every time I go to the store I see "one pot" dinners and the like featured on food/ life style magazine covers. I decided to give my own version a whirl.

Whereas most Irish Stews call for a dark ale like Guiness, I tried a Canadian microbrew, La Vache Folle Milk Stout from Charlevoix, Quebec.  It made the stew creamy, and "full bodied", richer (higher alcohol content). It tasted really awesome and was a great way to experiment with local beers.
