DELICIOUS! A nice twist on corned beef. I made a traditional corned beef and this recipe and this recipe won out for being the most popular. As other reviewers have stated, I did roast it for an additional hour and it could have even been in the oven a little longer. Just check it towards the end of the roasting time. Very tasty! You won't be disappointed making this one!

Holy Schmoley was this good. I did mine in the crockpot overnight, and I'm pretty sure that was why it fell apart so beautifully - the fat slid right off the meat leaving melt-in-your-mouth corned beef behind. Everyone raved about it - the stout lends a really nice flavor to the meat.

Oh so good!! Made this for St. Patrick's day dinner yesterday and it was absolutely marvelous! I cooked it in a 7.5 qt covered cast iron dutch oven at 300 F for 2.5 hrs and it was perfect -- tender and delicious. Did not use a rack, just placed the meat in the pot and cooked it directly in the Guinness beer (14.9 oz can). In addition to the brown sugar I also added the spices which were included in the package with the corned beef. Served the beef with "Diane's Colcannon" and "Irish Cream Bundt Cake" for dessert. Both were scrumptious.. My family loved everything and said it was the best Irish dinner ever. This corned beef recipe is a keeper and is going in our favorite recipes book.

Made this for St. Patrick's Day and it was sooooooo good. I used a 3 lb. roast and cooked it in the crock pot all day. Turned it up to high for the last hour and a half after I added potatoes and carrots. I cannot even describe the flavor, but it was so rich and yummy. I plan to use this recipe for many years to come!

Wow! This recipe is incredible, it has a wonderful flavor. I cooked the beef directly in the Guinness and brown sugar in a cast iron dutch oven. Put it on a gas burner on low at a steady simmer for 4 hours, added carrots and potatoes and cooked for another hour, then added cabbage and cooked for another 30 minutes. Both my husband and I absolutely loved it, and he doesn't like or drink beer. I, on the other hand, love Guinness to drink. This recipe tastes nothing like Guinness, it is hard to describe the flavor except to say that it is wonderfully yummy and the meat just falls apart when you take it out of the dutch oven. I didn't add any other seasonings except salt and pepper.

Not a fan of Guinness, so I used Harp Lager (made by Guinness, but a little lighter), added a boullion cube, and let it simmer away in my crockpot on Low. Honestly, I couldn't stand the smell most of the time..it just smelled like beer. I was worried. But after about 9hrs or so I pulled it out and it was AMAZING. So tender and flavorful.. THANKS so much!

It was so tasty, but came out very tough like beef jerky. I'm not sure what I did wrong. (We still ate it, it was very good)

This was pretty good - a little tough, even though I used 'flat cut' corned beef instead of 'pointed cut', as another reviewer suggested. The taste was great and, like another reviewer, I served it with Irresistable Irsih Soda Bread and Fabulous Fried Cabbage. Happy St. Patty's Day!

Best corned beef! Even my Irish hubby from Buffalo says it's the best he's ever eaten. The combination of brown sugar and beer adds a subtle, sweet/smoky taste to the beef. I added one can of beef broth along with the beer and kept basting, and added peeled, chunked potatoes at the last hour. Paired it with "Fried Cabbage II" from this site. I've put this one in my recipes file, it'll be the only one I use now for corned beef!

Wow. Just Wow. Put me in with the 'melt in your mouth' crowd-this was absolutely amazing. I cooked a 3.75 lb in the crockpot for about 8 1/2 - 9 hours on low, and I did not use all the brown sugar called for. The only kind of corned beef available at my grocery store is a point cut, and it comes packaged with the seasonings already rubbed on; I rinse off most of the seasonings and the red goo that collects in the bag, then prepare as recipe states before throwing it in the crockpot. This is the second year I've made it this way, and even though I love new recipes this is my go-to St. Patty's recipe!

I made this yesterday for St Patty's Day. I am really a Reuben Sandwich person, but thought I would try this for my Irish husband. He just loved it. I put it in my slower cooker thought I would put it on high for a few minutes, three and a half hours later. I was thinking this will really be tough. I did remembered someone saying to cook it longer, so I turned it to low and cooked another two hours. It was wonderful.

This was, by far, the best corned beef I have ever made. I forgot to put it in the crockpot before leaving for work, so I cooked by 2lb. brisket in the toaster oven for 3 hours when I came home (with no adjustments from the recipe aside from the weight of the beef) and it came out wonderfully. This recipe is a definite keeper!

I changed this by using O'Doulh's Premium Amber(non-alcoholic), a crock pot , and seasoning packet. We think it is wonderful!!! The beer gives it a good base and is only noticeable in the aftertaste. I am not sure that the beer couldn't be replace and still get a good flavor. The brown sugar is the special part of this recipe. I will use this recipe from now on. Thanks. FYI - This will make your house smell like beer.

AWESOME RECIPE! My suggestions for the recipe are cook it for the 2.5 hours straight in the Guinness (i used a 14.9oz can instead of the suggested 12oz) at 300 F. I also flipped the meat every 45 min or so and added fresh ground pepper to each side as it cooked. After the 2.5 hours i flipped the meat, as well as added some chopped celery, onion, carrot, 3/4 head of cabbage and some chopped white potatoes (golf ball size or smaller). Then i poured a bottle of Smithwick's over it all and returned it to the oven for another 45-60 min. I ended up removing the meat a bit earlier than the veggies, so i may have done good to add them a bit earlier, but i also prefer my carrots and potatoes real soft. The brown sugar, pepper, guinness and smithwick's make for an AMAZING flavor though, i even added some of the remaining liquid (about 1.5-2 tbsp) to some mashed potatoes and it tasted great as well.

We followed the recipe as instructed and we felt that it needed to be cooked for several more hours. The beef was still rubbery and chewy after only two and half hours. We removed the veggies and placed the beef with the broth in a slow cooker and cooked it for about 8 more hours on low and it came out great! The next time we do this we will plan for it to stay in the oven for at least 4-6 hours. We will also increase the stout to 3 bottles. The veggies came out extremely yummy!
