What size beer? Large is not clear enough for me. Miller lite ok? More specifics would be helpful for someone who doen't like to experiment.

Around here a large beer is usually 16 oz. It says lite beer. Why wouldn't miller lite be ok? do you want a brand too or an egg in your beer? (just kidding). But really, don't you think this is being a bit too picky?

large beer.... I am with you Barth large beer means bigger than 12 oz smaller than a 40, so let's use our brain to figure out the rest...

I used a 12 oz. Blue Moon and it was great.

Mexican beer or landshark lager works great also! Not lite but gives alot of flavor.

We used blue moon also. It was great

This recipe was amazing! It was so so so easy and made Carnitas just like we love them. My family is Mexican, so I wasn't expecting such an easy recipe to make them taste so good! My husband ate three plates. I used a 12 oz can Miller Lite and it was perfect. Also, I cooked it for about 5 hours and 15 minutes.

I've made this recipe about 10 times over the years. For the simplicity and taste, it's 5 stars. Definitely use a mexican beer, preferably a 24 oz. bottle of Corona or Dos Equis. Cook closer to the 6 hours than the 4. Also make a pico that consists of fresh cilantro, diced onion, and fresh lime juice. Serve on corn tortillas w/ mexican white cheese and it's pretty tasty. Good luck.

Miller lite is not beer. That is water. Put 12 oz of a beer with flavor like sierra nevada or negro modelo. Its not rocket surgery.

Simple and exactly right. Could the details be better? Sure, if you like a very wordy recipe. But the point is, roasting/poaching low and slow makes a delicious, tender piece of meat.
