  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil a heavy pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear pork in hot oil until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast from pot.
  • Drain all but about 3 tablespoons grease from pot. Cook and stir onion and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir beer, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and cloves into the onion mixture.
  • Return pork roast to the pot and cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer roast to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Remove bay leaf from vegetables.
  • Pour the beer and vegetable mixture from the Dutch oven into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the vegetables moving before leaving it on to puree until smooth.
  • Bring pureed sauce to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until thickened, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over pork roast to serve.
