Corned Beef In Beer

The best Corned Beef I've ever made was in the Crockpot. (You can substitute water for beer, but the flavor won't be the same)

3-4 lbs corned beef briskets
6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
1 cup thinly sliced carrot
1 bay leaf (or two small ones)
1 cup beer

One small cabbage, cut in wedges
Place potatoes, onions, carrots, and bay leaf in crockpot.
Trim excess fat from brisket; put meat on top of veggies.
Place cabbage wedges on top of meat. Pour beer over all.
Cover and cook on LOW heat setting 9-11 hours.
Slice brisket thinly across grain (let it cool 5- 10 minutes for easier slicing).
Serve with vegetables.
