Heat some olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork roast and brown on all sides, for roughly 3 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, in a slow cooker, add the onion, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce, beer, and orange zest. Add the browned roast along with any pan juices. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 6 hours.

When the pork is cooked and fork tender, shred it using two forks. Add the shredded meat back to the slow cooker and toss with the onions and cooking juices.
