I think we all change what we like to eat over time - We love brisket and have it quite often so the cut of meat is familiar to us. The process to make it corned beef adds very distinctive flavor though - and carrots cooked in the beer “broth” in the crock are amazing!
it does sound yummy. what else can you cook in a beer broth? i make brisket with at Dr. Pepper broth and it’s quite good!
