So very simple to do. I suggest using Beck\u2019s Dark for the beer in this recipe. It\u2019s not really a dark beer, it\u2019s more of an amber. Unfortunately I can\u2019t seem to get that in the nearest town, so I had to substitute for Dos Equis Amber. Yea yea I know, it\u2019s a Mexican beer, but it was the closest flavor profile I could get and you know, it worked out great! This recipe came out fabulous and I\u2019ll definitely make it again.
