Shore Lunch Wild Rice

Bill Hilbrich's Note:

One of the most important services provided by a Minnesota Fishing Guide is to serve lunch on the shore of the lake or steam. This dish can be started first as soon as the fire is burning, and will be ready to serve as a side dish along with freshly caught fish fried in Collin's Beer Batter and a salad or vegetable. If a sweeter taste is desired, Chicken Broth can be used instead of the Beer. Cooking is a Creative Sport.

I made this with Guinness and think it was a bit to strong. I still liked this dish and will try again. Next time I'll use a lager. edit: I used a Sam Adam's light and it was much better. Thanks for an easy wild rice recipe.
