1 quart cider vinegar
24 oz lager beer
2 cups BBQ sauce

Directions
Pork - Combine spices together and rub in to pork; place in a deep pan or pot. Add vinegar and beer, cover with plastic wrap and then foil, or a tight fitting lid. Cook in a 300° F oven for 4 to 6 hours or until the pork is tender and falling off the bone. When pork is done, reserve cooking liquid and allow the meat to cool in the refrigerator for about 1 ½ hours then pull it apart removing any fat or bone. Finish it by mixing in about half of the cooking liquid along with the BBQ sauce and season to taste.
Coleslaw - Combine the cabbage, carrots and red onion in a large bowl. In another bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and sugar. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to mix. Season the cole slaw with the celery seed, salt and black pepper. Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
Serve the pork warm on a potato roll topped with the cole slaw.
