Easy to make and a family favorite, this dish features pork, sauerkraut, and beer. The flavor of the pork and sauerkraut are enhanced by the lager. The pork roast doesn’t need to be browned before going into the slow cooker. I pair this with mashed or scalloped potatoes.

Reviews
My husband and I liked this recipe. I made it according to the directions except I added a cut up green apple like somebody suggested. I also browned it first. I cooked it on low. It was done after 4 hours.
no changes, it was ok, not great
This smelled fantastic and we were looking forward to dinner. But it was sweet and bland. We tried adding apple cider vinegar, more salt, more pepper, jalapeno juice, and tabasco but nothing improved the flavor. I ended up throwing it all in the trash. If I ever make it again, I won’t add the brown sugar and I won’t rinse the sauerkraut.
Made this for New Year’s Day and family loved it
Very easy recipe, i would ha e liked more flavor and I would definitely add so other seasoning to it
Made recipe as is. We totally didn’t like the flavours and found it dry and bland.
If you like sauerkraut, this is a great dish. The pork was very tender and the juice on the bottom of the crockpot was tasty. I added some chopped apples as suggested by another reviewer. This is a keeper!
Made with 1/2 bottle Angry Orchard hard cider and put the other half to good use washing it down later 🙂 Started later in the day, cooked on low for 4 hours, and on high for the final hour. Perfect.
Excellent!
This was a very good recipe! Very tasty and tender!
Super easy and tasty. Even my 10 yr old son loved it.
I also add one or two tart sliced apples.
