So, does everyone remember how the entire world was suppose to come to a cataclysmic ending back in December? Some molasses about a Mayan calendar with a ton of voids of leap years and the like. Well, any-who, Shock Top was making this awesome ale out of chocolate notes and chilli in honor of the end of the world last year. I stocked up on a few cases, because it was frankly amazing. I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm a cooker and cooking with booze is one of my specialties! This ale, if you can still find it, make for some amazing culinary creations.

Add green pepper and garlic to the pan and toss. Cook for 4 minutes until peppers become fragrant.
Step 4

Add spices to the pan. Stir for 2-3 minutes until spices become fragrant.
Step 5

Add ale to the pan. Mix and scrap the bottom of the pan to degalze any burnt on bits up and into the stew. Will make it very yummy.
Step 6

Add kielbasa and toss in pan.
Step 7

Pour in beef stock. Simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered to allow the stew to reduce down some.
