Came across this recipe over the weekend.

6 links of Bratswurst
1 bottle of amber ale (or Shiner Bock original)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp red win vinegar or cider vinegar
Serve with spicy brown mustard on the side
And Rye bread

Slow Cooker Directions

1. Combine bratwurst, ale, onion, sugar and vinegar in slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours.

2. Remove bratwurst and onion slices from show cooker. Cut bratwurst into 1/2 inch length slices to fit on a sandwich. Spread mustard on bread and brats/onions. Enjoy.

TIP:
Don’t use too dark of a beer, could leave bitter.

Serve with some Sauerkraut or German potato salad.

I’ve started boiling my brats in beer before putting them on the grill.

I take a 6-pack of whatever beer I buy (I don’t drink beer, so I don’t know what’s good - SORRY).
1 or 2 onions - preferably white; chopped up
Poke holes in all the brats
Boil brats and onions in the beer for about 20 - 30 minutes
Remove and place on hot grill until the outside turns a nice shade of brown
Put ‘em on a bun (ONLY WITH MUSTARD - just kidding) and enjoy.

those are good but they need brat buns for them

yea no kidding FB
