I've never had Steak and Ale pie, but I've had Guiness. It seems a bit
"dry" to me (although very tasty for drinking ;-) Perhaps a harvest ale or
a more "fruity" dark ale would do, adding more flavor to the pie. I'm from
the U.S., so I don't know a lot about U.K. beer brands. A dark red beer
might work too.
