Green Chile Pork

> Ah, country style ribs, love them. Okay, so first, my favorite option is out, which is to smoke them, as while I consider it completely different from BBQ, there’s enough overlap and I don’t know if you have a smoker. What I would recommend is a New Mexican-style green chile pork, which only requires a slow cooker and ingredients, so really nice for hotter months, and does a good job with cuts that have a lot of diseparate bits of meat and connective tissue like Country style ribs. Easy-peasy…

(you can use other cuts as well, pork shoulder works fine!)

Otherwise, I buy cheap beer frequently to brine various chicken dishes. Sure, it’s not a lot more flavor than water, but more is more. 🙂

A light-tasting beer batter for fried food would also work well, or even in a tempura batter.

Lastly, I often sub out some chicken broth (not stock, broth) in stewed dishes and soups with various lower flavor beers. Or use it for a braising liquid in any dish that would call for a mild white wine.
