Sauce: With a medium to large saucepan, melt bacon fat on low heat. Add onion and garlic (slightly sauté before adding the tomato paste, water, wine, vinegar and seasonings). Lightly whisk and add sugar and beer. Cool, cover, and place in fridge overnight. Heat and stir when ready to serve (add more beer to your liking).
Slaw: Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
Cut buns in half. Add spoonful of pork, slaw, and topped with sauce. Serve with favorite fresh salad, fruits or veggies!
