PREPARATION:

1. Cover hickory chips with water and soak 30 minutes. Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Bank briquets on either side of water-filled drip pan.
2. Combine salt, paprika, chili powder and garlic pepper in small bowl. Rub spice mixture onto both sides of brisket; loosely cover with foil and set aside. Combine beer, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, oil and dry mustard in small bowl; set aside.
3. Drain hickory chips; sprinkle 1/2 cup over coals. Place brisket on grid directly over drip pan; grill on covered grill over medium coals 30 minutes. Baste with reserved beer mixture; turn over every 30 minutes for 3 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 160°F when inserted into thickest part of brisket. Add 4 to 9 briquets and 1/4 cup hickory chips to each side of fire every hour.
4. Alternately thread vegetables onto metal skewers. Combine lemon juice, water and Italian seasoning in small bowl; brush onto vegetables. Grill vegetables with brisket 20 to 25 minutes or until tender, turning once.
5. Remove brisket to cutting board; tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before carving. Remove excess fat. Serve beef with vegetable kabobs. Garnish as desired.
