For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the brats in a little oil before adding the beer glaze. If you don't have barrel-aged sauerkraut, regular sauerkraut works just fine. You can also add a splash of apple cider vinegar for a similar tang. Serve on toasted potato rolls with spicy German mustard and Swiss cheese for the ultimate experience! Pair this dish with a crisp pilsner or a robust Marzen for a truly authentic German-inspired meal.

01 Step
Recipe View Grind the celery and caraway seeds: Using a mortar and pestle (or a spice grinder), crush the celery and caraway seeds until finely ground. This releases their aromatic oils. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Prepare the beer glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill, and the ground celery and caraway seeds. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03 Step

04 Step
