A solid 4.5 stars. I cut the recipe in half anit it comfortably served four with leftovers to boot. I subbed white cooking wine for the beer. My brisket only made 2 cups of sauce, so I thickened all of it and did not find it necessary to blend or puree. This was very well received by all who tried it. It is a mild tasting sweet BBQ. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Ooooo this was yummy!! I prepared the beef the night before and "marinated" it in the dry rub overnight in my crockpot insert in the fridge. I also made up the bbq sauce the night before cooking. Next morning....placed insert into the slow cooker and poured the sauce over the marinated dry rubbed beef....lid on....set on low and off to work......that made life a lil easier that morning....served on potato rolls and with homemade slaw. Family loved these sandwiches. I also used boneless chuck roast as it was way cheaper than a 4 lb brisket.....this meat was very tender.....thanks!

Great recipe! Instead of brisket, we used aboout 2 1/2 pounds of left-over barbequed tri-tip we had in the freezer from our wedding about a month ago. Used pretty much the same ingredients as listed, plus our own rub we make. Put it in the crock pot on high for about 2 hours, then on low for another 90 minutes or so. After removing the meat(which was fall apart tender) we doubled the slurry amount (as we tend to prefer a thicker sauce) and used our immersion blender. Absolutely great way to use up left overs. Thank you!

I am extremely picky when it comes to meat. But this is absolutely the best recipe I have found on this site so far. I used a full bottle of Blue Moon Belgium White Ale. My husband and I took the meat to work for lunch and everybody wanted to taste it, it smelled so good. We used it like a fajita filling and had fresh vegetables with it. It was very filling and was a perfect meal for those long 12-hour shifts that we are working. Will definitly cook this again.

Amazing....usually make my same old shredded beef in beer, this was delish. I had to buy a 8.75 lb brisket and cut in half......great recipe.

Although I used just over 3 lbs. of beef cubes, I did not reduce the other ingredients. I did leave out the liquid smoke flavoring as I had none on hand. It was very, very tasty--one guest really loved it! However, it was very thin and required extra thickening. As a leftover, it was more tangy--good but not as good as freshly made.

This is a GREAT recipe although I would suggest cooking it over night becuase the smells that this dish creates will drive you nuts during the day because you will want to eat it before its done cooking! I changed the serving size so it did alter the measurements automatically so I think doing that caused it to be bland at first but I did take a few tastes throughout the day and added more of the spices to make it better. I also added some BBQ sauce to kick start the flavors a bit. In the end all you need are some potato rolls, sour cream & shredded cheese....my husband ate three! I will be making this again ;)
