If you like your ribs smoky, be sure to add the liquid smoke to this gutsy beer marinade.
Ingredients
- 3 12-oz. cans beer
- 3 Tbsp. coarse kosher salt
- 3 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. celery seeds
- 1 Tbsp. cayenne pepper
- 1-1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. liquid smoke (optional)
- 4 lb. meaty pork spareribs or loin back ribs
- 1/2 cup Honey-Beer Barbecue Sauce* or bottled barbecue sauce
- For brine, in a large bowl, combine beer, salt, brown sugar, celery seeds, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and, if desired, liquid smoke; stir until salt and brown sugar are dissolved. Cut ribs into 2-rib portions; place in a resealable large plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour brine over ribs; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- Remove ribs from bag; discard brine. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above the drip pan. Place ribs, bone sides down, on the grill rack over the drip pan. (Or place ribs in a rib rack; place rib rack on the grill rack over the drip pan.) Cover and grill for 1-1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until ribs are tender, brushing with barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling. Add additional coals as needed to maintain temperature. Makes 4 servings.

Stir in 3/4 cup chili sauce, 1/2 cup beer, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon prepared mustard. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
