Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in the diced onions and cook until softened and lightly translucent, 5–7 minutes.
4. Add the brown ale, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, hot sauce, and yellow mustard. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is combined.
5. Fold in the navy and white beans and bring to a gentle boil.
6. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to start thickening the sauce.
7. Transfer to a 2‑quart casserole dish, cover, and bake for 30–35 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 25–35 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the sauce is glossy and thick and the beans are coated. Season to taste with salt before serving.
