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.
