Well,
I really, really don't want to offend anyone, but my children would
have laughed me out of the house with this recipe. Plus as a home
brewer of 14 years I have to agree, the only proper place for beer is
IN the cook. My God, how simple can it be? I would NEVER cook with
beer (as an ingredient). I know how hard it is to make good beer.
If you were to indulge in an excess of really good beer you probably
wouldn't be upset about how "hot your chili is". I grow my own hops
and I must disagree about adding a hop or two to the pot unless
you're a hop head which of course is a completely different thing!
