Let's get started with Day #2. Here's the rules if you weren't around for Day #1:
Each day, I am going to blog about a prize. All you have to do is comment on the blog before it expires and you will be entered into the giveaway! One comment = one entry for the person who commented. You can comment up to FIVE times, meaning each user can get five entries into each daily draw.

Season the reindeer cubes with salt and pepper, toss lightly in flour.
Heat a large dutch oven on the stove.
Melt butter to brown the meat in small batches and set aside.
Add turnips, parsnips and pearl onions. Cook five minutes using the vegetables to get the brown bits off the pan.
Use one bottle of Mad Elf Ale to fully deglaze pan.
Return meat to pan and stir to incorporate.
Add a bay leaf and a sprig of thyme.
Add remaining beers to cover the stew just barely.
Bring up to simmer, cover and cook very gently for 1-1.5 hours, or until meat is tender.
Remove from heat, remove bay leaf and thyme.
Stir in dry cherries and honey and place in refrigerator until next day.
To reheat, warm gently on the stove and serve with your favorite mashed potatoes.
Don’t forget to garnish with a cherry for Rudolph’s nose!
