So far I've made it with Pete's Wicked, Newcastle, and Brooklyn and it turned out great each time. I think the only reason the recipe states "brown ale" is to keep people from dumping a can of Bud in.
I really like carrot-ginger soup this time of year. Roughly chop a pile of carrots and a couple onions and/or leeks, saute in butter or oil until getting soft and just a little color. Throw in some chopped ginger, maybe a little garlic, then cover with veg stock. Simmer until everything is basically mushy, then puree in a blender. Put it back on the stove, reheat, and finish with some half and half or cream and slivers of fresh ginger, maybe some cilantro if you've got it, S&P to taste. If it's too thick you can thin it out with more veg stock or cream. Same idea works great for squash too.
at my work we have this super good jalapino soup... and i can eat as much as i want for free... perhaps i can get a recipe tommorrow when i work, if your interested. if not, corn chowder, or potato soup with bacon.
