How to make beer pulled pork with Badger and Outland Beers

Beer Pulled Pork 16th January 2025

Pulled pork enthusiasts, brace yourselves. The ultimate beer braised pulled pork recipe has arrived, and it’s as bold and flavoursome as the beers that make it shine.

 

Using a slow-cooked blend of aromatic spices, tender pork shoulder, and a generous pour of Badger or Outland Beer, this dish promises to elevate your cooking game to new heights.

 

A beer pulled pork recipe worth the wait

Here’s how you can recreate this culinary masterpiece at home:

 

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 lbs pork shoulder (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Badger or Outland beer of your choice
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

  1. Rub the pork shoulder with a mixture of brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a slow cooker, layer sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom.
  3. Place the seasoned pork on top, then pour in your chosen beer. Ensure the pork is partially submerged.

 

For rich, malty flavours, use Badger’s Fursty Ferret (Amber Ale) or Tangle Foot (Golden Ale). Fursty Ferret introduces a biscuity flavour which complement the pork’s natural richness, while Tangle Foot’s noble hop character adds a perfect balance to the dish.

 

If you prefer a lighter and zesty flavour, go for Outland’s Hazy IPA or India Pale Lager. Our Hazy IPA adds a refreshing citrussy and tropical punch, while the India Pale Lager offers a clean, crisp finish that cuts through the pork’s fattiness.

 

  1. Set to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours (or 3-4 hours on high), until the pork is fork-tender and falls apart easily.
  2. Shred the pork with two forks and let it rest in its juices for another 15 minutes to soak up the flavours.
  3. Serve on toasted brioche buns, tacos, or over a bed of mashed potatoes.

 

Why it works

Beer braised pulled pork stands out for its depth of flavour. The beer’s carbonation tenderises the meat, while its rich malt or hoppy notes enhance every bite. With Badger or Outland beers, you’re not just adding liquid to your dish; you’re infusing it with the essence of exceptional brewing.
