No way guy!
No flame here, but I use Guinness to make a really awesome stew (no chiles
tho..).
As for chili, I like to use Negro Modelo (that is when I'm not using a dram of
whiskey)
in my chili. IMHO the lighter styles add nothing to the taste of chili (at least
when I'm making it to my heat levels).
Though a really good IPA ( India Pale Ale) sure hits the spot when I'm eating
chili (and other picante dishes).
