Preparation:

Step 1
• Combine all dry rub ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Rub the meat with the mixture.
  
  Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 2
• Preheat oven to 260 ⁰C.
  
  Unwrap the pork and place it in a baking dish with 5 cm (2 in) high sides. Bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is dark brown and evenly charred in spots. Remove from the oven.
Step 3
• Reduce temperature to 160 ⁰С.
  
  Pour beer into the pan and sprinkle chopped garlic around the pork. Cover tightly with one layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil or two layers of regular aluminum foil. Make about 10 slits all over the foil. Bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes, until the meat is tender enough to easily pull away from the center bone.
Step 4
• Place the meat on a plate and pour the juices from the pan into the saucepan.
  
  Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
Step 5
• While the sauce is simmering, shred the pork with two forks. Pour the sauce over the pork and let it absorb.
