Instructions
Make the Brine: Combine water, soy sauce, salt, bay leaves, garlic and ginger in a pot large enough to hold ribs. Whisk to combine and bring contents to a boil. Immediately remove from heat, add the ice and let the brine completely cool. Add ribs and refrigerate, covered, for 1-2 hours, turning the ribs occasionally.
Make the Dry Rub: Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
Make the Glaze: Whisk together all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce heat to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thicken and glaze will lightly coat the back of a spoon, 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place a rack insert into a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan.
Remove ribs from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Coat the ribs evenly, on both sides, with the dry rub and massage into meat. Transfer ribs to prepared baking sheet or roasting pan and cook until meat is starting to become tender, about 1 hour.
Remove ribs from oven and pour beer into pan, around ribs being sure not to splash off the dry rub. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Return ribs to oven and continue to cook until fall off the bone tender, an additional 2 hours.
Remove ribs from oven. Switch oven to broil. Brush top of ribs generously with the glaze. Broil ribs just until the glaze starts to caramelize slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove ribs from oven and brush again, generously with the glaze. Return to oven and broil again until caramelized, an additional 3-4 minutes.
Remove from oven, transfer to a clean work surface. Cut each slab into 2 rib bone portions and brush or serve with remaining portion of glaze on the side.
