Butterbeer:
In a saucepan, pour in 4 1/2-5 oz. of the British Ale, and set aside the rest in a container for later.
Add in butter, pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar into the saucepan. Stir until dissolved, then let simmer on a low heat until slightly reduced.
Meanwhile in a mixer, add in egg yolks and beat until pale, then add in the sugar and then the cream.
When the Butterbeer is reduced, pour in with the rest of the beer in the container.
In the saucepan, still over a low heat, add in the cream, egg and sugar mixture. Stir and continue stirring so the egg doesn’t cook.
Once it begins to thicken, turn off the heat. If you find the custard is starting to curl, take it off the heat, pour into the mixer and turn it onto high. If it still hasn’t thickened, pour it back into the saucepan and continue to cook.
When thickened, push it through a strainer to get out any bits, into a bowl (metal or glass I find is best) in an ice bath.
Place in the refrigerator for a few hours to let cool completely.
Now follow your ice cream maker instructions until your ice cream is ready.
Serve in cones or cups.
