Ingredients
  

For the rub

  • 1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces dark beer

For the BBQ sauce

  • 14 -18 ounces prepared hickory barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely ground dark roast coffee (or espresso)

Instructions
 

  • For the rub:
  • Whisk rub ingredients together in small bowl.
  • Rub spice mixture all over ribs.
  • Gently boil beer in medium saucepan until reduced to about 1 cup.
  • Place ribs in roasting pan or thick foil for grill. Pour beer around ribs. Cover ribs with foil and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400F or preheat gas grill to approximately 350-400°F
  • Once heated, roast ribs for about 1.5 hours. If using outdoor gas grill try adding some alder or cherry wood chips (if not for anything other than a neighbor jealousy-inducing aroma).
  • For the BBQ sauce:
  • Combine ingredients in medium saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Brush ribs with sauce. Grill ribs over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side. Save some sauce for slathering and dipping.
  • Serve with polenta.
