Add garlic, toss till aromatic, deglaze pan with 1/2 cup Dortmunder gold - let the mushrooms sweat in the beer for 5-10 minutes until almost all the beer is absorbed. Let mushrooms cool to room temperature. Toss raw bell pepper, onion and celery with the cooked mushrooms, add the GLBC porter scallion dressing to taste (about 1/2 cup), toss all together and serve over greens. Makes an excellent side dish for grilled steak.
