Once this beer chili has cooled completely store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This recipe does freeze well, store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

Notes

I always use venison - it's what I have an abundance of (we're a family of hunters) and it tastes great in a chili. This recipe works perfectly with ground beef though.
