I used two bottles of Old Tom in a steak and ale pie - it was beautiful.

Cool!

Are you making the pie with ale? Drinking ale with pie? or both?

In my opinion, I would use a different beer with each pie, and have the same ale served with the pie. SO its an ale off! That way you work out which ones you like the best.

1 steak with old peculiar
1 steak with McEwans Champion
1 chicken and scrumpy

And a various selection of drinking ales
