Cut off the top of the beer can. This maximizes the flow of moisture from the beer to the bird. Most can openers can be used for this task. Next, pour out (discard or consume) some of the beer until the can is half full. How you choose to do this is up to you. Add 1/2 cup of your spice rub to the can and give it a quick stir. The can is now ready.
