Cover pan with foil.
Roast 1 hr in the preheated oven. Remove foil, turn roast, score the fat. Continue roasting, fat side up 2 1/2 hours uncovered , or to a minimum internal temp of 160F. (add more beer if pan is drying out) Remove from heat, reserve pan juices. Let sit about 20 mins.
In saucepan, bring pan juices to boil. Mix butter and cornstarch to thicken, reduce heat, simmer 5 to 10 mins.

METHOD
DUMPLINGS
Stir flour, baking soda and bak. powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in center, and pour in the eggs and 1 cup of milk. Stir to blend, add enough additional milk to make a moist battery dough, not like pancake batter. Use wooden spoon to beat the dough 200 strokes, rolling it over and over in the bowl until smooth and an occasional bubble appears on the surface. Add white bread cubes, stir into the dough until they disappear.
Bring large pot of water to a boil. Place dough onto a cheesecloth or white cotton cloth, and form into a loaf shape. Wrap cloth around the loaf, and tie the ends.
Place the loaf into the boiling water, and cook for 45 minutes, turning the loaf over about half way through. Remove from water, unwrap, and cover with a tea towel. Let stand for 10 minutes.

SAUERKRAUT
Fry bacon/onion over med-high heat until bacon cooked and onions golden. Set aside. Place rinsed/drained sauerkraut in saucepan, and add enough water to cover the surface. Bring to simmer over med heat. Add bacon, season with s/p and caraway seeds. Stir together the cornstarch and water; mix into the sauerkraut, and simmer for a few minutes before removing from the heat.
Slice the dumpling loaf. Drizzle dumpling slices with some of the roast drippings from the pan. Serve with sauerkraut.
