This is a difficult recipe for me to rate, as the ham I used was a smoked ham from a boar my husband harvested hunting. The meat from this pig is much drier then the pork you get at the store. This is the first pig he's harvested so I am new at preparing this type meat.) I tried to compensate for this by covering the ham with a glaze I use for all my hams (honey, brown sugar, ground cloves and pineapple juice). The glaze completely covered the ham. I roasted it in a covered roaster just as the recipe said using the beer. I was not sure on the weight of the ham (pkg not marked), so I had to guess on the roasting time. I did use a meat thermometer for internal meat temp. The meat was very dry and chewy. I do not believe it was because the recipe failed, (it provided great flavor)I believe it was because of the cut of meat, so I am giving it 4 stars.

Easy to prepare and toss in the oven for a crowd. I was then able to focus on other dishes and visiting. Turns out moist and doesn't taste like beer. I did make sure to baste, which I would recommend so it doesn't dry out. My ham was already fully cooked when I picked it up from the butcher, so I also lowered the temperature to around 250 degrees rather than 350 and cooked for only about 4hrs.

I too am not a huge fan of super-sweet glazed hams: This recipe makes the most moist, juicy ham I've been able to turn out in my kitchen! I just used High Life (Milwaukee girl here), the two cans as specified with a can of pineapple on a 12 pound ham, and will not change one thing. I did cook at 250 for 9 hours to fit my schedule, basting a couple times and browning the skin at 350 for half an hour at the end, and thought that worked just fine too. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, my boyfriend was in heaven :)

OK, all I could find at the store was an already cooked 4lb boneless ham. I used a quarter of a bottle of beer and a few pinapple slices w/ the juices poured on. I baked the ham, covered, for about 50 minutes @ 325. I uncovered the ham, sprinkled some brown sugar on top and basted the heck out of it. I turned up the heat to 400 and baked for about 20 more minutes, basting a couple more times. The end result was moist and delicious! I can only imagine how this would be if I had actually done it correctly!

This was a very good and moist ham. I did use an oven bag so I didn't have to scrub my pan to death. Everyone who ate it was very surprised that I cooked it with beer and it tasted so great. I did use a pumpkin beer since I thought the spices would go with it and it was a hit.

I'm not sure if it was just an ok ham or I cooked it too long. Ok recipe, but will try a different one next time.

I had 30 people coming for Ham dinner following Confirmation worship. I didn't know how long the service would be and feared dry meat. I searched the web and found this recipe. FABULOUS! Everyone went back for more. The ham was moist and flavorful. It's a new favorite!

My mom's secret to the best turkey and gravy ever was a can of beer. So I thought I'd give this a try, and it was pretty darn good. I used Black Butte Porter, and skipped the pineapple because my daughter is allergic. The kids asked for seconds with lots of pan drippings on top... Thanks!

I do cook with beer, but never thought of cooking ham with it. Well, this was the best Christmas ham I ever made! (I did omit the pineapple) I like the ease of a spiral ham, but it can get dry if your not careful. The beer made it incredibly moist. My family raved about how good it was.

Used this for my first ever ham and it turned out to be wonderfully succulent. I did, like another reviewer, make a honey glaze that I added during the last 45 minutes of cooking. Thanks!

I liked this cooking method. It seemed very moist and tasty. The beer flavor was not noticeable (I used what I had - Hefeweizen). I would recommend not eating the pineapple though. Beer soaked pineapple = not good.

As RR would say, this was yum-o. Used a 10 lb hame and baked for 5 hours at a slightly reduced temp, basting occasionally. Ham was falling apart.

The ham was so soft no knives were required. There wasn't a distinct beer flavour...in fact I surprised my family when I told them it was cooked in beer.
