I will definitely give this a try.   We've never been fans of the sweeter cocktail meatballs, but these seem like a great idea!

@novamc1 can you recommend any particular type of beer (regular vs. maybe a dark beer)?

[novamc1]

I have no recommendations for type of beer, and neither does the recipe......just would probably not use any type of lite beer.  If you like strong and hearty beers, use those, I suppose.

  If a recipe calls for red wine, it seldom says which kind, but I wouldn't use the lower-alcohol or no-alcohol types.
