1 tablespoon Cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Ground ginger
½ cup Honey
½ cup Red wine vinegar
¼ cup Worchestershire sauce

Slowly stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, adding as much beer as needed to form a thick smooth paste. Rub the spice mixture across all surfaces of the ribs. Place the ribs arch side up in a roasting pan without overlapping. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the roasting pan on the lower rack of the oven, cooking ribs until tender, about 2½ to 3 hours. Test doneness by inserting skewer into the meat; it should meet with little or no resistance. Remove ribs form oven and allow to rest 15 minutes before serving. Optional grill finish: Place the ribs on a preheated grill, arch side down, cooking until slightly charred, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn over fot 2 to 3 minutes and serve.
