This Is Why We Like The Irish

• 4 cups water

• 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
• 6 ounces beer
• 1/2 head cabbage, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Place the carrots and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker, pour in the water, and place the brisket on top of the vegetables. Pour the beer over the brisket. Sprinkle on the spices from the packet, cover, and set the cooker on High. 
2. 4 hours in add in the potatoes so they don't get mushy 
3. Cook the brisket for about 8 hours. An hour before serving, stir in the cabbage and cook for 1 more hour.
