Since it’s definitely grilling season, why not grill some Beer Brats out in the back yard?
Beer Brats on the Grill
Pick the type of Brats you like, be they cooked or uncooked.
Soak them in a beer of choice, use just enough beer to completely cover them in the pot. I've used ale's, lagers, miller
lite, etc., whatever I have on hand. They all have worked well. It's
really a matter of preference.
Add some garlic, thyme and basil to this as they soak.
Let them soak a couple of hours.
Add a little water, bring to a boil, let them boil 3-4
minutes or so.
This process makes it easier to finish them off on the
grill without completely drying them out.
Important note: you will want to pierce them with a knife or fork when they are on the grill just to prevent that burst of really hot moisture shooting out of it when you take that first bite. No kidding, you can get burned from that.
