Pour into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, testing after 25 minutes. Continue to bake until tester comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack.
Frosting
In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together beer and granulated sugar. Mix and reduce until you have 1/4 cup of syrup. Allow syrup to cool.
In mixing bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Add beer syrup and milk; mix. Once the syrup is incorporated, spread over cooled brownies and sprinkle with chocolate chips to garnish. Cut into 9 pieces.
