Let it bubble for about a minute (while stirring a little bit), and then pull it off the heat and set aside, or refrigerate if making ahead. Pulled pork Preheat the oven to 300F, and then combine all the dry ingredients for your pork rub, making sure you mix the ingredients well so that everything is evenly distributed. Now rub down your pork. There's a possibility you'll have more rub than you need depending on how big your pork butt is, but that's more good news than bad. Put your rubbed-down butt (haha) in a baking dish and pour in the beer. Cover with foil and throw it in the oven. Every hour after the first couple hours you can go in and baste it a little (or better yet, use a flavor injector; check out this official Food Republic instagram). Depending on your oven and the size of your butt (ha!) it'll take 5-7 hours. Pull it out of the oven and let it cool off a bit before you start pulling it apart with your fingers and removing any unsavory bits (like any bone or fat).
