Both. I really do think it makes them more tender and the longer you soak the ribs, the more flavor you get from the beer. I've left pork steaks in a beer bath for up to 48 hours. The flavor isn't too strong though, which is a good thing. I cook with beer all the time but can't stand to drink it. Crazy, huh?
