Cover the pork shoulder in rub. Be sure to coat all sides.
Add the pork to the slow cooker and pour the entire beer in the crockpot as well.
Set on low and cook for 10 hours.
Drain the excess liquid from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the pork into pieces.
Add BBQ sauce and stir to combine, coating all of the pulled pork.
I like to put the lid back on and leave the crockpot on warm until we are ready to build our sandwiches.
Mix the dressing ingredients for the coleslaw and toss with the thinly sliced vegetables. Allow the coleslaw to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Toss before serving.
Layer the pulled pork and coleslaw on a bakery fresh bun and watch as your family devours every single bite.

Make your own smoked pulled pork with a pork butt roast, apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, and dry rub.
Always check the internal temperature of your meat using an instant read thermometer to make sure it is safe to eat.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings in your pulled pork according to your tastes. Try including garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, or cumin.
Instead of beer, try using root beer, Coca-Cola, or apple juice.
For extra smoky flavor, stir in a drop of liquid smoke or use a smoked dry rub.
Sear the pork in a large skillet before slow cooking for deeper flavor and a smoky edge.
Toast buns in the oven for a sturdier sandwich that holds up to the juicy meat.
Store your leftover meat in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze leftover pork flat in bags for easy reheating and future busy-day meals.
