This recipe is a great way to bring in the warmer weather! Using beer as a braising liquid adds a yummy and unique kick of flavor to this classic sandwich. I was surprised how much the beer flavor came out in the meat. Be sure to pick a beer you like, I used a stout in this recipe but you can also use a pilsner. Enjoy!
