Preparation
STEP 1

Place beer and onions in a large pot and bring to a boil. Submerge sausages in the beer and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

STEP 2

Brats can be held over low heat on the stovetop, or transferred to a slow-cooker to be held warm until ready to grill (be sure to hold above 140˚F).

STEP 3

To finish, grill for about 2-3 minutes each side, or until nicely grill-marked. Serve on your favorite buns with spicy mustard and onions.
