Classic Beer Brats
Ours brats, made from our pastured hogs, are not just our best-selling sausage—they stand toe-to-toe with anything I grew up on. This week for our recipe we’re keeping it classic: a straight-up beer brat, perfect for any family gathering or tailgate.

Ingredients

  • (2 lbs) Bratwurst
  • (2-3) Yellow Onions, Sliced
  • (3) Garlic Cloves, Smashed
  • (3) Cans of Lager/Pilsner (36oz total)
  • (1 tbsp) Mustard Seed
  • (1) Bay Leaf
  • Buns, Sauerkraut, Good Mustard

Directions

  1. Beer Bath: Bring your beer, Onion, (Garlic, Mustard and Bay) to a boil.  
  2. Soak: Drop the brats in the boiling beer, remove from heat and cover for 15 minutes, or up to an hour if that’s how your timing works out.  
  3. Fire: Remove from the beer bath and finish them on medium hot coals. Medium is good, they should be cooked through from their drunken bath, so we are just looking for a touch of smoke and char. Be careful not to overcook or you’ll render out the fat that keeps them perfectly moist.
  4. Serve on buns with kraut and mustard. No Ketchup Allowed! For real, no ketchup if your over 13. It’s the law.
