Beer Bear:
Take a roast and rub it with pepper and johnnys and brown it real well in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferably) with some olive oil. Near the end, throw in some onions, garlic and cooked bacon bits. When onions are translucent, transfer the whole mess to the crockpot and dump in a 1-2 bottles of Guinness Stout, depending on how big it is. Cook until Tender. Serve with cooked or mashed taters.
