Drunken Corned beef and cabbage

This is something that I've made nearly every St. Patty's day. One particular St. Patty's day, I had it in the crock pot and asked my roommates to keep an eye on it and just make sure they saved me some. When I got home, I had a decent sized bowl waiting for me. The rest, however, was gone. Gee, some friends I have, huh?

Ingredients:

2 briskets of corned beef
1 head of cabbage
3-4 russet potatoes
2 pint cans of Guinness stout
sea salt
black pepper


Directions:

Trim fat off of the corned beef briskets and dice into cubes. Fill a crock pot with the two pint cans of Guinness. Wash, peel and cube the potatoes, keeping the cubes small. Place the cubed corned beef and potatoes into the crock pot and turn it on high. Cover and let cook. Once the beef and potoates start to get soft, shred and add in the cabbage. Season to taste. Cook until cabbage is soft. Serve in large bowls with Irish soda bread.
