Another Guinness Beef Stew Recipe

Stews come in many forms and any stew can be made in many different ways. One of our earliest recipes on this site was one for a Guinness beef stew. Many meals later, we came across this excellent alternative version of a Guinness beef stew by our friend, Dinewithdin. We ate ourselves silly with this version because it was so good. Check out the recipe below! 🙂
