IRISH LAMB STEW

As I'm always looking to cook something new. I have to say this is my favorite so far to cook. I have cooked stews in the past with beef, but beef gets stiff really quickly, and to my surprise, the lamb stayed tender and just enriches the stew so much more. I paired the stew not with a Guinness but with a seasonal Southern Tier Warlock (10%)
