Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, ground coriander and mustard powder.
- Rub this mixture all over the pork and then place in a gallon zip lock bag. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
- Three hours before serving, heat grill to high on one side and the lowest burner setting on the other.
- Place the onions and garlic in a 5 quart Dutch oven that has a lid. Place that on the cool side of the grill.
- Once the hot side is hot, place the pork butt on a plate and brush all sides with the oil. Then place on hot grill and sear all sides, about 10-15 minutes total. The char on all sides should be nice and dark, even black in spots.
- Lift the meat with tongs and place in the Dutch oven on top of onions and garlic.
- Pour the beer over the top of the meat and place on cover.
- Shut off all burners except the one under the meat and set that to as low as it will go and close grill cover. Our one burner on low maintained a temperature inside the grill of 275 degrees F.
- After three hours, remove lid with pot holder and check for tenderness of meat by pulling off a small piece and trying it. Meat should be fall apart tender.
- Remove the meat to a clean platter to rest.
- Take the liquid left in the pan and skim off any fat floating at the top and discard.
- To the remaining liquid, add catsup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar.
- Increase the burner to bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a medium simmer and simmer between 10 and 20 minutes or until thick. (This step can be done indoors on your stove top if you wish).
- Once the sauce is done, shred the meat with two forks and add back into the pot with the sauce.
- Stir and serve over rolls or as an entrée alongside coleslaw, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, collard greens and corn on the cob.

SLOW COOKER BEER PULLED PORK
My way of making pulled pork is simple: slow cooker, 1 can of beer, a 5 to 6 pound pork butt, seasonings, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. My beer choice is Shiner Bock®. My seasoning choices are salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. My barbecue sauce choice is Sweet Baby Ray's®. Just put it in a slow cooker before you go to bed and when you wake up the magic has happened. See for yourself. This recipe is perfect for a party, and you can even prepare 2 and feed around 30 people. Serve on onion or hamburger buns.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of meat is essential for this recipe. Pork butt, also known as Boston butt, is the ideal cut for braising. It is a well-marbled, flavorful cut of meat that will become tender and juicy during the cooking process.
- Sear the pork butt before braising it. This will help to develop a rich, caramelized crust on the outside of the meat and lock in its juices.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings in the braising liquid. This will add depth and flavor to the pork. Some good options include garlic, onion, celery, carrots, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Braise the pork butt for at least 4 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you braise it, the more tender it will become.
- Shred the pork butt before serving. This will make it easy to eat and will help to distribute the sauce evenly throughout the meat.
- Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread.
Conclusion:
Beer-braised BBQ pork butt is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender, juicy meat and flavorful sauce, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
