Why are beer brats so good?

 

First off, what is not to love about beer brats? This is about as American as it gets when it comes to grilling. Beer brats are essentially the perfect combo of savory pork and sweet beer.

They help you maximize all of those flavors by letting you simmer the brats in beer so that they absorb all of the malted flavors. You also add veggies to the mix so that they are caramelized, sweet and crunchy all at the same time.

 

Add a little bit of mustard, sweet bread bun and another glass of beer to these beer brats for maximum effect!
