   Rub both sides of pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture.

4. 4

   Place spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

   Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.

   Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spare ribs on each sheet, meaty-side up.

7. 7

   Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the spare ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet.

   Just before sealing completely, divide beer mixture evenly into each packet.

   Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.

    Bake ribs in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

    Brush the thickened sauce over ribs.

    Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Return ribs to the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.
