6. Cut one slab of ribs into half and place both the ribs bone-side facing down on separate baking sheet.

7. Pour ½ cup of lager beer in one tray and pour ½ cup of root beer in the other.

MAKING

8. Bake for about 2½ to 3½ hours turning the ribs over every 30 to 35 minutes.

9. Making sure that at least a cup of the beer or root beer remains in the bottom of the pan as it will slow evaporate during the cooking process.

10. In a small bowl combine apple cider vinegar and root beer, this is the marinade for ribs on the grill.

11. The remaining slab of ribs place it on the grill with the meat side down, brush the marinade over the ribs every 20-25 minutes.
