• Place pork in large zip lock bag. In medium bowl, stir together beer, corn syrup, onion, jalapeno, mustard, oil, chili powder, honey, garlic and rosemary; pour over pork, seal bag and toss gently to coat pork. Refrigerate 6-24 hours.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade for basting liquid.
• Grill pork over indirect heat, away from fire, basting every 10 minutes with reserved marinade, until internal temperature reads 150-155 degrees F., about 45- minutes to 1 hour. Discard any remaining marinade; remove pork from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

Refrigerate 4 hours or up to 12 hours. Heat charcoal grill for indirect cooking or gas grill to medium (325), turning off burners in the center of the grill. Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Place pork on grill away from heat; cover. Cook until a thermometer inserted in center registers about 150 degrees on a meat thermometer, 35-40 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; tent loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.

BEER BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil a heavy pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear pork in hot oil until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast from pot.
• Drain all but about 3 tablespoons grease from pot. Cook and stir onion and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir beer, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and cloves into the onion mixture.
• Return pork roast to the pot and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours.
• Transfer roast to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Remove bay leaf from vegetables.
• Pour the beer and vegetable mixture from the Dutch oven into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the vegetables moving before leaving it on to puree until smooth.
• Bring pureed sauce to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until thickened, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over pork roast to serve.

BEER BRINED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk the beer, wine vinegar, corn syrup, mustard, garlic, sage, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the onion and pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the pork chops and onions from the marinade and set aside on a platter. Drain the marinade through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding the strained liquid. Spread the garlic mixture caught in the strainer over the pork chops. Wrap the onions in aluminum foil.
• Cook the packet of onions and the pork chops on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove pork chops from beer brine; pat dry. Mix garlic, pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, and sage in small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over both sides of pork chops. Grill pork chops until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 145°F to 150°F, about 10 minutes per side, occasionally moving chops to cooler part of rack if burning. Transfer chops to platter; cover with foil, and let stand 5 minutes. Serve.
