To prepare the chili, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and onions and sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add the beef and sauté for 7 or 8 minutes longer, while stirring frequently, or until the beef is well browned on all sides.

Season with salt and pepper, stir in the chile powder, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, beer, vinegar, cumin, oregano, and parsley, and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, turn down the heat to low, and cook, covered, for 45 minutes.

Add the beans and cook for 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle the goat cheese over.

Cooking Tips
Since this dish contains dark beer, consider using the same beer as a beverage. A lighter style of red wine such as a Beaujolais or Italian Bardolino will also work well with these flavors.
