Good ol beer brats.

[geezer]

I cooked these up Friday evening. Bratwurst are very popular in these parts and most grocery stores make their own in many different flavors. Some of them are good, some are kind of weird. But to each their own, right? 

The wife and kids like these and I like them because its a nice simple cook that doesn't require much prep-work. 

Very simple: brats of your choice, beer, onion, bell peppers, garlic, salt, pepper and some olive oil.

I saute the vegetables on the grill in the bottom portion of my small dutch oven while the brats are browning.

I like to cook away about two thirds of the beer, that takes around half an hour.

Actually, I had asked the better half to pick up some Stella's and the cheapest domestic she saw and they happened to have the Busch on sale.

I actually prefer the regular Busch to most other domestics. Regular Coors isn't too bad either.

Chopsaw, if I ever try to give sausage making a shot I'll give you a holler.

Very good!  I like to poach in beer then sear.  Either way is good.  But try it the other way next time just because.

Enjoy

'Round here, they're bathed in beer & onions before they hit the grill.  Called "frying" the brats, even though they're not fried.  If they're being held after the grill, they go back into a beer, onion, & butter bath until served.  Sheboygan brats are served on hard, Bavarian semmel rolls, elsewhere brat buns are used.  Even Costco serves brats here:  same $1.50 deal as the hot dog/Pepsi combo, but you get a Usinger brat instead.  Can't be beat.
