Add onion and saute until golden brown. Add potatoes and carrots. Stir in beer, vegetable stock, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, and thyme. Mix well. Add roast to pot and bring mixture to a simmer. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 2-3 hours. Thirty minutes before serving, remove the lid from the pot. Place ¼ c flour in a small bowl.
