This sweet and smoky recipe is perfect for summer. Brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion, and wheat beer are ideal braising ingredients for meaty short ribs. The beer adds a mellow sweetness and maltiness that pairs nicely with the meat. Belgian-style wheat beer is the best choice for braising, as other beers can be too bitter. Pair the short ribs with your favorite summer side dishes such as baked beans or collard greens
