Beef and Ale Pie
Chunks of beef braised in dark ale with onions and mushrooms, topped with puff pastry and baked until golden.
Why It Works
The ale's malt sugars caramelize during braising, adding bittersweet depth. The pastry lid traps steam, keeping the filling moist while puffing into a flaky cap.
