Barbeque Sauce with Beer

Gather all ingredients and measure them out: black pepper, brown sugar, prepared mustard, salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Open and pour your chosen beer into a medium saucepan to use as the base.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the brown sugar to the beer, stirring gently until the sugar begins to dissolve. Allow the mixture to warm for a couple of minutes without bringing it to a full boil.

Add the prepared mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the saucepan, stirring to combine thoroughly with the beer and sugar mixture. Continue to stir until the ingredients are fully integrated.

Pour in the soy sauce and season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure even distribution of all seasonings throughout the sauce.

Increase the heat slightly and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugars from scorching on the bottom of the pan.

Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer uncovered, stirring periodically, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when ready.

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the barbecue sauce to cool to room temperature before using as a basting sauce or condiment for pork. Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
