Brats in Beer with Onions

The ceremony for the perfect brat

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped

2 12 ounce bottles of beer (we recommend Harpoon® IPA)

1 to 2 packages Fresh Kayem Brats

Directions

  1. Heat grill until coals are ash-gray and emit a warm glow (medium-low on a gas grill).
  2. Toss chopped onion into a medium pot. Add beer and heat to a simmer; do not boil.
  3. Add brats to pot; do not puncture the casings. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Grill brats until evenly browned, about 15 minutes. Turn several times to brown evenly.
  5. Serve on buns with condiments of choice.

Grilling Tip

DO use tongs. DON'T pierce the casing. When you lose the juice, you lose the flavor!
