How to Make Ale D Pork And Sauerkraut

  1. Place 1 large (2-3 lb) pork shoulder, fat side up, in your slow cooker.
  2. Add 1 (26 ounce) jar of sauerkraut, reserving any liquid.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the sauerkraut.
  4. Pour 12 ounces of dark ale (or beer) over the pork and sauerkraut.
  5. Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika over the pork.
  6. Cover the slow cooker.
  7. Cook on high for 6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
  8. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Remove the sauerkraut using a slotted spoon. You may need to reserve some cooking liquid if it's too dry.
  10. Arrange the sauerkraut around the sliced pork on a serving platter.
  11. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid over the sauerkraut for extra richness, if desired.
