1 (12 ounce) can beer
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water, tomato juice or wine
1 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ginger

You can double all the ingredients except the meat if you would like more gravy.
