1 Heat oven to 300°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
2 In large bowl, place popcorn and cashews; set aside.
3 In 2-quart saucepan, heat ale over medium heat, frequently, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour into glass liquid measuring cup to confirm measure. Add back to saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, syrup and butter. Cook over medium heat until bubbly around edges, stirring occasionally.
