Place beer,seasoning,onion and brats in medium pot and bring to gentle boil over medium heat.3

Thank you for the recipie. I refer to it everytime I make brats which is at the very least once a month. We're from OHIO and we are a brat eating state! We even have a Brats festival! Anyway, I have even used 2 beers and the the rest water, or 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken broth. And even all water when we had no beer or chicken broth. I'm real funny about cooking sausage and always afraid it's not done. I am confident everytime when I do it your way, then put it on the grill for 10 mins on high. Watching very closely because of flare ups! Thanks for sharing!

These are quite yummy, even if you don't bother to brown them off after simmering in the beer!

This is almost exactly how I make my brats except that I add about half a stick of butter or margarine to the beer, and I dont ever boil the brats in the beer. I just simmer them in it for about 15 min then put em on the grill. DON'T BREAK THE CASINGS!!! EVER!!!!You lose a lot of flavor in the juice that escapes if the casing breaks.

Left out the butter, and just simmered the brats in beer and onions then grilled. Tasted so yummy, our guests had seconds and thirds.
