corned beef in a slow-cooker, which beer works best?

I’ll be putting a 2-pound corned beef brisket in a 2.5qt slow-cooker, with carrots and potatos and cabbage, and one of these three beers:

Andescher Doppelbock
Schneider Aventinus
Schlenkerla Helles

I’m thinking: drink the Helles, cook the Andesch, drink the Aventinus.

What are other people’s preferences, choices, or suggestions for this meal?

I’d chug the Helles, cook with the Aventinus, and drink the Doppelbock.

Sweeter stout would usually be my call.

A malty brown ale may work well

I find that a mix of beef broth and Sam Adams lager works best. Also, add the veggies only for the last four hours of cooking or they may turn to mush.
