Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) bottle brown ale
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to butter the baking dish
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups thin pretzels, coarsely crushed
Pour the beer into a glass; let sit until flat, about 1 hour.

Steps:

Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish. Set aside. Bring half of the beer to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 2 teaspoons, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining beer, brown sugar, corn syrup, cream and butter in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 235°F, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in beer syrup and pretzels. Spread in the prepared dish and chill until firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cut into pieces.
