Attention apartment dwellers, busy people and lovers of pork! With warm weather typically comes grilling. But marinating meat and cooking it over a flame, carefully watching and attentively prodding it isn’t always feasible. For those moments, you need a recipe for a nice and easy summer meal that doesn’t let you miss out on the flavorful, meaty goodness. This Clove & Nut Brown Ale Pulled Pork is a super simple slow cooker recipe that packs in tons of flavor with minimal effort. The clove and cinnamon spice rub flavors everything with warmth and happiness and the meat gets nice and tender from the nut brown ale that it cooks in all day. Start it in the morning and it’ll be ready by dinner!
