Ribs
Rub the ribs on both sides with spice rub. Place in a large sealable bag or on a large sheet of aluminium foil placed in a large roasting pan. Cover with beer and seal. Marinate in the fridge for an hour or two.
Remove the ribs from the bag or aluminium foil and bring to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil and remove ribs from marinade. Lay ribs on top, and tightly cover with foil. Roast 2 hours.
Make the Chipotle BBQ Sauce (can be made ahead and stored in fridge).
Pre heat the grill to medium heat.
Remove Ribs from oven and uncover. Place the ribs onto the hot barbeque grill, brush ribs with sauce so that it caramelises onto the ribs. Cook over heat for 6-8 minutes on each side.
Remove from BBQ and serve with your favourite accompaniment and additional BBQ sauce on the side.
Chipotle BBQ sauce
Sautee onions and jalapeños add to a blender with tomato puree, smoked chipotle chilli, molasses, sugar and garlic.
Blend the sauce and return to pan over medium heat.
Add vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and tomato paste. Simmer till reduced and quite thick. If too thick you can add a little water.
*Chipotle chilli can be found in specialty stores that provide Mexican products.
Marinated coleslaw
In a stainless steel mixing bowl, layer the sliced cabbage and onion.
In a 2 litre saucepan, combine the vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, dry mustard, celery seed, and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Pour the hot liquid over the cabbage and onion but do not mix.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and marinate for 6 -8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Toss before serving. The cabbage slaw can be made several days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use.

Chillies
To keep the flavour but avoid heat, keep the chilli whole or remove seeds. Break dried chillies in half for more heat in cooking.
Glossary
Elephant Garlic
Milder than regular garlic and larger, this is actually a member of the leek family but is used as garlic would be.
