About Recipe

I figure the name of this dish says it all~happy belly goulash! Yes, with just a few ingredients. A little time. And, a loving hands, you can make happy bellies around your dinner table!Now the ale I used in this recipe, I think, makes a big difference in the overall flavors. Yes, you can substitute apple cider for the beer if you don't do alcohol, but believe me, it's worth letting this lager do its magic. While it's a 'seasonal' variety, in the off season, I'm going to use a similar dark ale.What I love about this Sam Adams 'Old Fezziwig' Ale~well, besides the really cool name~is the flavor profile. But, before I tell you about that, the name? It comes from Charles Dickens classic story, 'A Christmas Carol'. Old Fezziwig is a character in the novel~and, he is the antithesis of his apprentice, Scrooge! The next time you watch the movie, you'll have a renewed appreciation for Old Fezziwig!
