Ingredients:
1 Bag Baby Carrots
8-10 Golden Yukon Potatoes
1lb Green Beans
1 Can Red Kidney Beans (Drained & Rinsed)
1 Red Onion (Chopped)
2 Veggie Sausages (Sliced)
3 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
1 Can Stewed Tomatoes
2 Cans Tomato Paste (Thickens stew)
2 Pints of a Homebrewed IPA
2 Vegetable Bouillon Cubes or Beef Bouillon Cubes (or 1 cup veggie/beef broth)

Spices to taste:
2 Tbsp Cumin
2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Pepper
1 Tbsp Salt

Directions:
Cut potatoes into quarters, trim green beans, chop red onion, slice sausage (if using meat sausage sear on pan first). Add all ingredients including spices except for tomato paste into slow cooker. Cook on low for 8+ hours. Before serving add 2 cans of tomato paste and stir into beer stew until dissolved and stew thickens. Season with salt, pepper, & cumin to taste. Pour yourself a pint and enjoy!

Tasting Notes:
Hints of the IPA come through each bite of the stew giving it a unique taste without overpowering the flavor. If it's to overpowering cook on high for 2 hours to help burn off the alcohol.

Future Iterations:
Next up will be to try this with a stout like Guinness or a clone of Founders Breakfast stout.
