grilled beer brats

Grilled Beer Brats

Perfectly charred brats topped with flavor-packed caramelized onions and peppers require absolutely no skills to make. The brats are first charred on the grill. Then they're finished in a boiling beer bath with the vegetables. Use whichever beer you want, but avoid IPAs (India Pale Ales), which are bitter beers.

Top brats with onions, bell peppers, mustard, and sauerkraut or relish on buns.
