Beer Toffee Sauce

I saw an article on Food52.com about making a beer toffee sauce from leftover beer.  Even in the article they said perhaps you never have leftover beer, but that this recipe is worth making anyway.  Open a bottle, use some for the recipe and the rest for the cook :)

How to Turn Leftover Beer into Toffee Sauce

Sounds interesting and stated in the article that beer will work, even a hoppy IPA.  To me, sounds like I might want to try making it with a stout.

I am on my yearly (well, most years) trip to the great white north.  On my way out the door, I picked up 5 bottles of Real Ale Devil's Backbone I had sitting around. I figured I would share with my brothers-in-law.

I went to a liquor store that was recommended and as I was chatting with the woman behind the counter, I asked if she would be interested in a trade for a bottle of Texas beer.  To my surprise, she said yes.  I walked out with the beers I purchased and a bottle of 3 Sheep's Ewephoria.  Sweeeeet!

My next stop was a local brewery Ale Asylum.  I enjoyed a flight and asked about trading and they also traded me for a bottle.  All the rest of the breweries I went to traded with me.  One traded a bomber, another 2 bottles and the last one traded a six pack!

I have to tell you that I may very well bring several six packs with me and trade again!!  Sadly, the biggest losers were my brothers-in-law.
