Cook Time: 2 ½ Hours (overnight brine)

Ingredients:

• 1 rack of pork side ribs, membrane removed

• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Transfer the ribs to a large baking dish. Add the beer & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate minimum overnight or up to two days. 
2. Preheat the oven to 300(f) degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small mixing bowl stir together the brown sugar, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder & cayenne pepper. 
3. Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet & pat dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides generously with the dry rub mixture.
