Sticky Bourbon Brown Ale Pork Ribs

Ingredients

  • 1-2 racks of baby back ribs
  • Spiceology X Derek Wolf Sticky Bourbon Brown Ale blend
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce or mustard
  • 1/4 cup butter per rack of ribs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar per rack of ribs
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey per rack of ribs
  • Apple cider for spritzing

Directions

  1. Heat your smoker to 250°F.
  2. Remove the membrane on the back side of your ribs by placing a fork 2-3 bones in on the clean cut side. Pull the membrane up and then pull back to remove it.
  3. Add your BBQ sauce or mustard in a thin layer as a binder for the rub.
  4. Generously season your ribs as these are going to be a dry rib.
  5. Place on your smoker and let smoke for 2 1/2-3 hours, spritzing with apple cider every 30ish minutes.
  6. Get your foil or BBQ paper ready with butter, brown sugar, more Spiceology Sticky Bourbon Brown Ale seasoning, more apple cider, and maple syrup and wrap up tight.
  7. Smoke for another 2 hours wrapped.
  8. Remove from wrap and smoke for another 30 minutes to 1 hour so the glaze formed in the wrap tacks up and gets nice and sticky.
  9. Slice the ribs and enjoy your labor of love.
