Method

Preheat oven to 200°C fan assisted or 220°C for ovens without a fan.
Rub the pork with seasoning & spices. (This can be done up to 24 hours in advance).
Roast the pork for 25 minutes in a casserole dish then turn the oven down to 140°C fan assisted or 160°C oven without a fan.
Pour over the Ale & half the barbecue sauce then cover with a tight-fitting lid or seal with foil.
Cook for 4 hours or until the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Leave to cool for a few moments before removing excess fat & bones.
Shred pork using two forks then toss with some pan juices & the remaining barbecue sauce.
