Beer Smoked Brisket

Using beer to make Smoked Brisket is my favorite way to ensure you get great brisket and plenty of flavor even if you’re new to smoking meat!

Get a flavorful and juicy brisket with tender meat that you barely need a knife for by using a beer baste as you smoke. I will give you a delicious rub recipe along with the basting juice recipe, so you get a well-rounded flavor from start to finish and every shred of brisket will be eaten and your fingers will be licked clean. You’re going to love this smoked brisket and how easy it is to achieve this level of flavor and tender juiciness. All it’s takes is some patience, and planning.
