In a large pot combine beans and 4 cups cold water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 60 minutes. Drain and rinse.
The ingredients work well together, but the instructions are all wrong for a pressure cooker. Brown the chicken and saute the onions, then add in the sausage coins and brown them a bit, too. Deglaze with the beer and add all other ingredients, scraping the bottom so nothing sticks and gives you a burn warning. You do NOT need to "quick presoak" the beans. Just rinse them out of the bag and add them in. Be sure to use the full 32 oz. of chicken stock because the beans will soak it up. I added some hot pepper flakes. Cooking the sausage under pressure will make it incredibly tender. The ingredients are good, but this recipe requires lots of changes to how the dish is made.
