Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and saute until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring until golden, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the ale and cider until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Add the
thyme and broth, whisking to blend, and bring to a simmer.

cook until the flavors are blended, about 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper.
Serve on warmed plate with mashed potatoes.
