A la beer: Backyard barbecue

It’s the easiest way ever to feed that crowd in your yard: smoky ribs that taste like they were slow-cooked all day, sweet (and vegan!) baked beans with a big bourbon punch, and a slaw so crisp, you’ll never miss the mayo. Best of all, every summery bite’s got a big splash of beer.

A rich rauchbier and a couple hours in the oven make these smoky, tangy ribs taste like they slow-smoked all night.
The wheaty, sweet softness of a witbier balances sharp vinegar in this crunchy apple-orange-pepper-fennel side that easily replaces ho-hum fruit salad.
Bourbon’s sweet heat and a dark beer’s roast make you forget all about the bacon in these vegan baked beans.
