1
Prepare the Corned Beef
In a large pot, submerge the corned beef in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender. Let cool, then slice against the grain.
2
Cook the Sauerkraut
In a medium saucepan, combine sauerkraut and Lake Louie scotch ale. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
3
Assemble the Reuben
On a slice of black rye bread, layer sliced corned beef, a generous spoonful of the sauerkraut mixture, and two slices of Swiss cheese.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Top with another slice of black rye bread and spread butter on the outside. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5
Serve
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve with Thousand Island dressing on the side.
