"Great Irish stew. I am a reformed alcoholic and do not cook with alcohol so I substituted non-alcoholic beer for the stout beer and cranberry juice for the red wine. The stew turned out very good even with these substitutions."

"Excellent recipe. I substitued stout beer with white table wine to deglaze the pan used for the onions, carrots and potatoes. Great hardy taste with a slightly sweet after taste. I WILL make it again soon."
