Ingredients:

Serving

2 (3 lb) corned beef brisket
2 (12 oz) bottles beer
1 head garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup peppercorn
3 -4 bay leaves

Directions:

Remove briskets from wrapping and place in large pot or crockpot. Rinse if you don't like the brine coating.
Add contents of 1 spice packet (discard 2nd spice packet or reserve for other use), the beer, peppercorns and bay leaves.
Break garlic head apart and peel each clove. Add entire head to the pot.
Add enough water to cover the meat by 1 inch. NOTE: the briskets will float, so I put a heavy heat-resistant plate or bowl on top to keep them submerged.
STOVETOP: Turn heat to high and bring contents to a boil. Turn heat to a low simmer; cover and cook for 6 hours or more.
CROCKPOT: Set on high cover; cook for 8-10 hours.
When done, using 2 large spoons or spatulas, carefully remove briskets to serving platter and let rest. The meat will be extremely tender, and will easily break apart if you use a meat fork.
If using for sandwiches, tightly wrap each brisket in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing. If you want to shred the meat, there is no need to refrigerate-just cut in thick slices and shred each slice.
If serving as corned beef & cabbage, once meat is removed, transfer cooking liquid to large pot (if using crockpot), bring cooking liquid to boil and add vegetables. Cover and cook 30 minutes.
