Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Nice and easy...and amazing flavor!

1 (5 pound) pork butt roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (12 fluid oz) can beer (I used Alaskan white wheat ale.  Apparently you can use root beer as well)
1 (12 oz) bottle barbecue sauce (I used Stubbs Sticky Sweet, has all natural ingredients)

Place the pork in the slow cooker, season top of pork with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (I just sprinkled away, not measuring).  Pour the beer into the bottom of the slow cooker and place lid.

Cook on high for 1 hour.  Reduce heat to low and cook for at least 8 hours or overnight (with our new crockpot, we did 7 hours).

Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks (I sort of forgot to remove it but really, it just fell apart with a meat fork so not sure I could have removed it if I tried!).  Discard juices and rinse out slow cooker crock (I ladled the juices out and into a strainer to catch the meat to add back in.  Doing this, I didn't get all the juices but it was ok.  A little juicer at the end but no complaints there!).  Return pork to slow cooker and stir barbecue sauce into pork.

Cook on medium for 1 hour (ours doesn't have medium so I did low for an hour).
