Good eats and drinks around Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound

My post from Tuesday about Chef William Mueller's Guinness ice cream just wasn't enough Guinness for the week, I don't think. Now I've got a recipe for a Guinness-based Irish Stew that will be served at Primo Grill and Crown Bar for St. Patrick's Day events Tuesday at both venues.

At Crown and Primo, both owned by Charlie McManus, a beef and potato stew powered by Guinness will be featured on the menu -- his mother's recipe. Click "read more" to learn how to make it at home.

At Crown, which McManus says was inspired by the Crown Bar in his hometown of Belfast, McManus will serve shepherd's pie, oysters on the half shell, pints of Guinness and a selection of top-shelf whiskey, including Powers, Jameson and Redbreast 12. At his restaurant Primo, McManus will serve Guinness braised lamb shanks, his mother's Irish stew, and more.

WHERE:
Primo Grill: 601 S. Pine St., Tacoma; 253-383-7000
Crown Bar: 2705 6th Ave., Tacoma; 253-272-4177
