    Super tasty recipe! I always double the dry rub and cook the pork in my crock pot. Turn it on before you go to work and enjoy a fabulous meal when you get home. Tastes great over baked potatoes - any kind.
    Made the sauce once and it was pretty good. The beer "sauce" that results simply from cooking the rubbed pork in the beer is great on it's own so I've never made the sauce again since then. I like to use Spotted Cow beer.

    I, too, reduced the salt by half. I also added 1 tbsp italian roast coffee grounds to the rub, marinated it overnight and used a bottle of Guinness Lager. I used an Oxo fat separator to remove the fats and most of the solids from the pan drippings. I then added about a quarter cup of my favorite BBQ to the simmering sauce. This was top notch in the end. A little prep, attention to quality ingredients and this is a real crowd pleaser. Served with some toasted buns and cole slaw. A keeper.

    Standing ovation for this recipe! I made just over 10lbs (boneless, doubled all quantities. I took the advice of other reviewers and added 4T brown sugar, 2t paprika, 1/2t cayenne and cut the garlic powder to 2t (these quantities are doubled to the rub and it was amazing! I found that the bbq sauce had a very prominent ketchup flavor - like, ketchup trying to be bbq sauce. I ended up using the pan liquid (siphoning off LOTS of fat and adding about 1/3 of the ketchup mixture. It tasted perfect, but I was close to running short on sauce. Next time I make this I will simply make a gravy with the pan drippings, just to change it up and serve with some roasted sweet potatoes.

    I made this sans the beer and added a bit of apple cider vinegar and it was amazing! My husband and I both loved it! Definitely making this again.

    I made this with Abita pecan seasonal beer and it was the best pork butt ever! I did NOT make the que sauce, instead made a gravy with the pan drippings. Thanks, Dave!

    The first time I tried this was for 15 pulled pork experts and everyone loved it. No one could believe it wasn't cooked low and slow in a smoker. I did marinate it overnight and recommend it.The only change I made was to add a little vinegar to the sauce because it was a bit sweet for my taste. I've already done it a second time!

    I used a few of the comments posted: added 2 T. brown sugar, 1 t. paprika and 1/2 t. cayenne to the rub. I also decreased the garlic powder to 1 t. I used a 3 1/2 lb. boneless butt (cut off a 10 lb. bone-in butt- to be used again for the same recipe! I roasted in oven for 35 minutes and finished in crock pot on low for 7 hours. Smells great and tastes delicious!

    We thought this recipe was the bomb. The flavor was excellent I have recomended this to friends. The only downfall was that I did not let it marinate overnight next time I will plan ahead the sauce fabulaous
