DIRECTIONS

1. Mix the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl.
2. Rub both sides of the spare ribs with the brown sugar mixture.
3. Place the spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
5. Whisk together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl.
6. Set aside.
7. Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down.
8. Place a rack of spare ribs on each sheet, meaty-side up.
9. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up.
10. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet.
11. Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet.
12. Complete the seal.
13. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
14. Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours.
15. Carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan.
16. You may only need the drippings from one packet.
17. Set ribs aside.
18. Simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
19. Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
20. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
21. Place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.
