Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bratwurst sausages
  • 2 bottles (12 oz each) of beer (preferably lager or pilsner)
  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • Mustard, for serving
  • Sauerkraut, optional, for serving

Instructions

  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the brats from the beer mixture and place them on the grill.
  5. Grill the brats for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they have nice grill marks and are browned.
