Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 lbs. pork ribs cut into thirds or quarters
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce
  • 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce optional
  • 2 12 oz. bottles New Belgium Blue Paddle Pilsner Lager or other similar style beer

Instructions
 

  • Spread ribs on baking sheet and season with pepper. Combine BBQ sauce and hot pepper sauce, if using, in a small bowl. Brush ribs with half of the sauce. Cover, marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill for indirect cooking. Place foil drip pan in center of grill and fill pan half full with beer. Replace grid.
  • Place ribs on grid. Meaty side up, directly above drip pan. Grill ribs over low heat, covered, about 1 hour or until meat is tender. Brush remaining sauce over ribs several times during cooking and add more beer to pan if necessary.

Notes

Some grills won't allow for a drip pan to be placed underneath the grid. In this case, pour beer into small foil pan and set on top of grill next to meat.
