Bud Light Lime BBQ Sauce on Grilled Ribs

Homemade Bud Light BBQ sauce on grilled ribs.

Well, this was going to be the summer of seafood, but we’re switching things up and it’s become the summer of ribs and delicious Bud Light Lime BBQ sauce.

We all love Bud Light and the flavor of winning.

Now this homemade BBQ sauce and ribs are a winning combination for sure!

Yes, we’re creating an easy Bud Light Lime BBQ sauce to slather on our St. Louis Style Ribs.

A few weekends ago we flipped these ribs into sliders for race day.

Who else likes a beer barbecue sauce?

I know we’ve made a couple of different beer sauces at our house, but never used the Bud Light Lime — and oh boy, this barbecue sauce is good!

Lime does happen to be one of my favorite flavors, but don’t think it’s overpowering here. It’s simply amazing.

Everyone who is a fan of cooking with beer will love this recipe, and it’s real easy to do!

It has a hint of the ‘regular’ Bud Light flavor and the added hint of lime, it’s wicked good on pork ribs and has become a go-to boozy BBQ sauce recipe for us.

As I said, a few weeks ago we made delicious BBQ rib sliders with this Bud Light Lime BBQ sauce recipe, and it did not disappoint. That’s why we decided to devour a rack of ribs this weekend, too.

Whether you’re serving these ribs as sliders, or just the way they come off the grill – you’ll love the flavor and the compliments that come along with such a delicious hunk of meat!

Okay enough messing around, let’s get to this unique sauce recipe!

Grilling Ribs

• Optional: Make a double batch and marinate the ribs for up to 12 hours before cooking – I like to cut the ribs in half and marinate them in a 1-gallon zipper bag.
• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.; maintain throughout the cook
• Place ribs bone side down on the grill and cook for 30-40 minutes (about 190 degrees F. internal temp); flip
• Grill meat side down for 10 to 15 minutes
• Slather with sauce on each side; grill for a few minutes longer on both sides
• Serve with ice-cold cans of Bud Light Lime

It’s really that easy to do!
