preview for Beer Brats Grilled And Simmered In Beer? What Could Be Better?

Maybe I need more tailgating and backyard BBQs in my life, but the fact that grilled beer brats haven’t been part of my summer repertoire is confounding. It takes almost zero cooking skills (you do have to know how to turn the grill on) to get perfectly charred brats topped with flavor-packed caramelized onions and peppers. First, the brats get burnish on the grill. Then they finish off in a simmering beer bath alongside the veg. Use whatever beer you like to drink, but not IPAs (India Pale Ales), which are brewed to be hoppy (i.e. bitter).
