I think there's 2 pieces that make it so good, in my estimation.
1. the beer steams and cooks the thing from the inside keeping it good and moist all the way through.
2. not sure if the recipe I posted has it, but rubbing the slightly spicy rub underneath the skin, and then spraying it to keep the skin moist as you go (we use 1/2 cider, 1/2 balsamic vinegar I believe) makes the outside taste unreal.
You can't really taste the beer all that much, but if you add a little spice to the beer, that'll also get cooked in from the inside. It's so good that my mouth is watering at 10AM at work right now!!!
