Latex: stretchable curly braces outside math

Question

I am producing some latex beamer slides (but I think it is not a beamer specific question per se).

I have the following:

\\begin{itemize}
\\item Issue1
\         


        

Answer 1

You could (ab)use a table instead:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{ll}

\textbullet Issue 1 & \multirow{2}{*}{{\LARGE \}} One and Two are cool} \\
\textbullet Issue 2                                                     \\
\textbullet Issue 3                                                     \\

\end{tabular}

\end{document}

produces:
