      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.
