- Cook 45 minutes until dark browned and even blackening in places.
- Remove from oven.
- Lower oven to 325 degrees F. Pour beer over the top and add chopped garlic around the pork.
- Cover tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil or twice with regular foil.
- Poke about 10 holes all over the top of the foil.
- Cook pork butt 2 1/2 hours longer until so tender that it comes away very easily from center bone.

- To the pan juices add:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- Bring to a simmer until reduced by half and thick, about 20 minutes.
