Gradually add the beer. Reduce heat and cook slowly, uncovered, for 25 minutes.Make an herb bundle by combining the allspice, bay leaf, thyme, and peppercorns in a piece of washed cheesecloth, and secure with kitchen twine.Return the beef to the cooking liquid and add the herb bundle. Simmer for 1 hour, covered, then cook uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove herb bundle before serving.
