Ingredients

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons crushed garlic, or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 pounds pork picnic roast
3/4 cup water
1 onion, chopped

1 Mix beer, mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl until honey is dissolved. Pour a small amount of the beer marinade into a slow cooker; add pork. Pour remaining marinade over pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning pork occasionally.
2 Cook pork on Low in the slow cooker for 8 hours, basting occasionally. Add water if the pork becomes dry. Drop onion around pork and continue to cook until pork is very tender, about 2 hours more.
