Beer-Brined Grilled Pork Chops

    2 cups water
    2 cups dark lager beer
    1/4 cup coarse salt
    3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
    3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
    1 cup ice cubes
    6 (1 to 1 1/4 inch thick) center-cut, bone-in pork chops

    7 large garlic cloves, minced
    3 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons dried sage leaves

  Combine 2 cups water, beer, 1/4 cup coarse salt, sugar, and molasses
 in large bowl. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in ice. Place
 pork chops in large resealable plastic bag. Pour beer brine over pork
 chops; seal bag. Refrigerate 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove pork chops from beer
 brine; pat dry. Mix garlic, pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, and sage in
 small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over both sides of pork chops. Grill
 pork chops until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of
 chops registers 145F to 150F, about 10 minutes per side, occasionally
 moving chops to cooler part of rack if burning. Transfer chops to
 platter; cover with foil, and let stand 5 minutes. Serve.
