Prepare this hearty Beer Brat Stew the day before a big hike. Then, you can just warm it up when you get home and turn on one of your favorite movies. We use stout as the secret ingredient. It gives the stew a rich umami flavor you won’t be able to get enough of. Serve it with buttered slices of thick, country bread and you’ll have a full belly in no time.
