What did you use for chili powder? Powdered Habs? In a receipe like this chilli
powder means Gebhardt's or McCormicks or such - a blend of Ancho, NuMex and
other spices. This is not really an incindiary receipe. I dunno whot your heat
tolerance is - or how you got so loaded up. But, this one, if the jalapenos and
the chilli powder were the usual stuff should have been
middle-of-the-roadpepper-wuss chilli.

Unlike wine, which imparts some of its quality to the dish... the only thing
that beer contributes to a dish is a bit of hops flavour. Any full-bodied beer
(not "lite") should work. Or, if you have some hops... skip the beer and add a
hop or two to the pot. <GGG>
The proper place for beer when cooking chilli is in the cook.
ENJOY!!!
