For the most authentic Carolina flavor, use a lighter-bodied beer like a lager or pilsner.
Freshly ground peppers are highly recommended for their superior aroma and taste.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to control the heat level to your preference.
This sauce is excellent on pulled pork, ribs, grilled chicken, or even as a dipping sauce for fries.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    I've tried so many Carolina BBQ sauce recipes, and this one is by far the best. The liquid smoke adds a fantastic depth of flavor.
