Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!
Ready in: 55 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 6 (12 ounce) cans domestic beers (MGD)
• 2 cloves of garlic, smashed
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2-4 jalapenos, sliced
• 12 brats (store made)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter (salted/unsalted)

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Extra time: 10 mins, resting

1. In a large stockpot add beer, garlic, onions, and jalapenos and bring to a boil. Don’t be put off by the smell at this point. Forge onward!
2. Fire up the grill to med/high heat. (Use charcoal for that smokey flavor.)
3. Add the brats to the stockpot and boil 10 to 15 min or until brats become greyish, then remove.
4. Strain beer and reserve solids (garlic, onions, and jalapenos).
5. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and add the garlic, onions, jalapenos, and brown sugar. Saute until sugar is melted and onions have caramelized.
6. Grill brats until crispy/slight charred. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 WHOLE minutes.
7. Get your bun/roll, smear some stone-ground mustard on it, grab a beer brat and some of those grilled onions, and enjoy!
