Place the beer, cider, vinegar, coffee, stock, oil, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and whisk to mix. Taste for seasoning.

Stir in the remaining ingredients and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer the sauce until thick and richly flavored, 10 minutes, whisking from time to time. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
BARBECUE BEEF BRISKET
Many years ago, I found this recipe in a local ladies recipe booklet called, "Cornsilk." I have often used it to take to friends and family so they can reheat it and serve when needed. It freezes well, too. I try to use a brisket but does well with a boneless beef roast or bottom round roast. Serve with hamburger buns.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the classic cut for barbecue, but you can also use chuck roast or short ribs. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Trim the fat: Before cooking, trim away any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a layer of about 1/4 inch. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Season the brisket: Once the brisket is trimmed, season it liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the brisket to give it extra flavor.
- Cook the brisket low and slow: The best way to cook a brisket is low and slow. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and develop a tender, flavorful texture. Cook the brisket at a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Barbecue beef brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can cook a brisket that is sure to impress your friends and family. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned barbecue enthusiast, these tips will help you cook a perfect brisket every time.
