Well, there are honest profits and then there is price gouging.

Sounds like my type of frothing slosh.

      Title: Barbarian Beer Braised Ribs
 Categories: Five, Beef, Beer, Bbq
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
      1 lg Onion; coarse chopped
     24 oz (2 bottles) pale ale
     14 oz Can beef stock
      5 lb Beef ribs
           Barbecue sauce
 
  Equipment: A large pot with lid and a knife
  
  Coarsely chop the onion and toss it into the pot over a
  medium-high heat. Allow the onions to caramelize. Once
  they've softened, toss the ribs into the pot and sear
  them ~ just a minute on each side.
  
  Once seared, add in the beer and stock and bring to a
  boil. For beer, I strongly recommend a pale ale like
  Magic Hat's #9. Once the liquid has come to a boil,
  reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let the ribs
  simmer for 3 to 4 hours, occasionally turning them.
  
  Once the meat starts falling off the bone after a few
  hours, remove them from the liquid and slather them
  with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  
  An alternative way to make these would be in a crock
  pot for several hours as well when you're out raiding.
