Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

The Jack and Coke BBQ sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, and the pork is so tender it just melts in your mouth. Quite possibly the best pulled pork sandwich, ever.

5 pounds boneless center cut pork loin or pork shoulder
Marinade
4 cups cola, Dr Pepper, black cherry soda, or root beer
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
12 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons celery salt
Jack and Coke BBQ Sauce
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup cola
1/3 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey
1/4 cup Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
6 kaiser rolls, split
Remove any excess fat from the pork and cut it into two equal sized pieces (or in pieces to fit your roasting pan).
Combine the cola, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, Tabasco, and celery salt in a shallow container. Mix well. Add the pork and turn the pork to coat it well in the marinade. Cover the container and let the pork marinate for 24 hours, turning it occasionally to re-coat in the marinade.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the ketchup, cola, Jack Daniel's, hot sauce, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. If desired, double the barbecue sauce recipe and reserve some for serving with the pork.
Remove the pork from the marinade and place the pork in a roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in the oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F.
Remove the foil from the pork and drain off most of the liquid from the pan. Brush the pork generously with the Jack and Coke barbecue sauce and return the roasting pan to the oven. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours or until the pork shreds easily with a fork.
When the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Shred the pork with a fork. If the pork seems dry, add some of the pan drippings to the shredded pork.
Pile the pork on the kaiser buns along with any desired toppings.
