Place the briskets in a large pot. Sprinkle one spice packet on top; discard the other packet or save it for another time. Pour in the beer, then add enough water to cover the briskets by 1 inch. Add the peppercorns, the garlic, and the bay leaves, cover, and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer, checking every hour and adding more water if needed to keep the briskets covered, until the meat is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, at least 4 hours or up to 5.

Carefully move the briskets to a cutting board; let them rest until they firm up slightly, about 10 minutes. Slice or shred the meat, then place it on a platter for serving. Discard the cooking liquid or save it for another use.
