I thought this was amazing- almost as good as my mothers. I had such a large shoulder roast that it took a while to cook. The juice that came from cooking the pork pieces I later used as a substitution for the chicken broth and I never added the beer. Because the pork took so long to cook it only had to simmer for about 20 minutes. Keep the radishes sliced in a bowl of water in the fridge so you can have them ready for tomorrow.
