One summer classic is beer brats. It just screams summer! I’d like to tell you I also dusted off our grill for this recipe, but that’s just not true. We grill pizza all year round. Ok, it doesn’t usually snow here, but it still gets cold!
Best Beer Brat Beer
At the moment the world is a little upside down, so we went with a beer we could find. It ended up being a porter that gave a really nice flavor. You can also use a lager, stout, brown ale, or something you’ll enjoy with your brat that’s heavier on the flavor profile.
I wouldn’t recommend IPA’s as they can be a bit bitter.
How to cook Beer Brats
Start by adding butter and onions to the pan. Bring two bottles of beer to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add your brats. The brats should be close to fully coved with beer.
Add a couple of dashes of red pepper flakes and start with 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until fully cooked.
While the brats are cooking start your grill. Remove brats and place on grill over medium high heat. Continue to cook your beer mixture on a light simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Once the brats are golden brown they are ready to eat!
Beer Brats Condiments
You can use the onion beer mixture as a topping or for dipping. It also pairs well with spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut and relish.
Voila!- In 30 minutes you have delicious beer brats. Starting this summer off early, the right way.
