    Title: Samuel Adams Corned Beef
    Categories: Beef, Beer, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 5 Servings

    6 (12 oz ea) bottles Samuel
    - Adams Boston Lager or
    - Irish Red
    4 cl Garlic; smashed
    3 md Onions; peeled, chopped
    3 Carrots; peeled; chopped
    2 Celery ribs; chopped
    1 c Kosher salt
    3/4 c Brown sugar
    2 Bay leaves
    1 tb Whole black peppercorns
    2 ts Mustard seed
    8 Allspice berries
    8 Juniper berries
    4 Cloves
    2 Cinnamon sticks
    2 ts Ground ginger
    1 ts Pink salt * (opt)
    2 Trays of ice; about 2
    Quarts
    5 lb Beef brisket

    Pour the Samuel Adams beer into a stockpot, and add all
    ingredients except for the ice, beef brisket, and half
    of the carrots and onions. Bring to a simmer over medium
    heat, stirring until the salt and sugar are fully
    dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from the heat and add
    the ice.

    Place brisket in a sealable container large enough to
    hold both the meat and liquid, and pour the liquid over
    the meat. If possible, place an inverted plate on top of
    the meat to keep it fully submerged in liquid, and seal
    the container. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, and up
    to 7 days, flipping the meat daily to ensure even
    brining.

    Remove the brisket from the brine, and strain, reserving
    spices.

    Place the brisket in a large braising pan or pot, add
    the reserved spices, along with the remaining carrots
    and onion. Cover with water (or better yet, more Sam
    Adams!), bring to a simmer, and cook until tender.

    * Pink Salt #1 is typically available at specialty
    stores, and is a combination of table salt and a small
    amount of sodium nitrite. This will help in the curing
    process and also give the meat its distinct pink hue
    most people associate with corned beef. If you choose
    not to use the pink salt, your corned beef will have a
    greyer, boiled look to it, but don’t worry! It’ll still
    taste delicious.
