Trim excess fat from brisket. Place in a 13x9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with onion slices. Combine beer and next 3 ingredients; pour over meat. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 3 1/2 hours. Remove foil and bake and additional 30 minutes. Baste occasionally with the pan juices. Remove meat to a platter; cover to keep warm.
