2. Lower heat to medium, add the Guinness Beer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, 2 teaspoons table salt and 2 teaspoons coarse ground pepper.
3. Press 1 puff pastry sheet into a lightly greased deep dish pie plate. Spoon the meat mixture to the pie plate. Lightly brush the edge of the crust with some of the beaten egg, then place the second sheet on top. Press the edges to seal, then trim off excess pastry.
4. Place the pie on a baking sheet. Brush the top with more of the beaten egg and cut an “X” into the pastry to vent. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper. Sprinkle chopped rosemary on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Check at 30 minutes to check if crust is getting to dark. Cover with tented foil if necessary. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
