Recipe View Serve the grilled bratwurst immediately. Spoon the tender, beer-infused onions over the brats. Offer a variety of mustards and toasted rolls for a complete and delicious meal.

For a deeper flavor, try using a darker beer such as a stout or porter. However, be mindful that these beers can impart a stronger, more bitter flavor.
If you don't have a grill, you can pan-fry the bratwurst in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
Experiment with different spices! Smoked paprika, chili powder, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper can add extra depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
To keep the bratwurst warm after grilling, place them in a foil pan and cover loosely with foil. This will prevent them from drying out while you finish grilling the rest of the batch.
