Summer is here, and that means barbecue season is in full swing! While sausages and merguez are barbecue staples, today we’re bringing you a classic American favorite—ribs! And because we love beer-infused recipes, we’re sharing a delicious beer-marinated barbecue ribs recipe.
Which Beer Should You Use for Beer-Marinated Ribs?
For this recipe, you have two great options depending on your taste and the flavor profile you’re looking for:
- Dark beer with roasted notes: This enhances the deep, rich flavor of the pork ribs. A great choice is Tempest All Leaves Are Brown, which adds bold, toasty aromas.
- IPA-style beer: If you prefer a slightly bitter and fruity touch, an IPA like Brooklyn East IPA will bring a fresh, aromatic dimension to your ribs.
The choice is yours!
Beer-Marinated Barbecue Ribs Recipe
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Marinating time: 4 to 6 hours
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 pork ribs (adjust quantity as needed)
- 50cl beer of your choice (for example Budweiser)
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 50cl barbecue sauce

Preparation
1. Prepare the marinade: Finely chop the onion and garlic, then place them in a large dish suitable for marinating the ribs. Add the beer, honey, barbecue sauce, and olive oil. Mix well.
2. Marinate the ribs: Place the ribs in the dish, turning them regularly to ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Repeat this process a few times for an even distribution of flavors. Cover and let marinate for 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Grill the ribs: Once marinated, grill the ribs on your barbecue (Weber or any other grill) for 5 to 6 minutes per side. Adjust cooking time based on your preference—whether you like them well done or slightly tender.
And there you have it—perfectly grilled, beer-infused barbecue ribs ready to impress your guests. Enjoy a summer barbecue with a cold beer for the perfect pairing!
