Irish Soda Bread with Irish Stew
We are serving this Irish stew with Irish Soda Bread. This classic stick-to-your-ribs stew is the ideal project for a chilly weekend. Beef, onion, carrots, and potatoes come together very well.
And don’t forget the Guinness. So, here is our version of Irish Stew in the Instant Pot.
What kind of beer goes in Irish Stew?
The not-so-secret ingredient that goes into Irish Stew that gives the sauce the deep flavor and color is Guinness Beer, Extra Stout.
Extra Stout Guinness Beer is so dark it is almost black and it’s why the stew is such a deep brown color. Guinness is also much richer than most beers, which you can see just by looking at the thick creamy head that Guinness is famed for.
Guinness Extra Stout Beer
From the Guinness website – Every Guinness you’ve ever enjoyed can be traced back to this recipe. A direct descendant of our archival recipes, Guinness Extra Stout is based on a beer first brewed in 1821, when Arthur Guinness II set down precise instructions for brewing his Superior Porter. Sharp and crisp to the taste with the trademark Guinness flavors at its core.
It’s been over 200 years since this family favorite was born and, as Guinness moves forward, it’s safe to say history accompanies us in every bottle still enjoyed by people all over the world.
For Guinness Extra Stout, we are eternally grateful.
