How to Make Beer Bratwurst
- In a 3-quart pot, pour in 2 (12-ounce) bottles of beer.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium heat.
- Add 1 pound bratwurst and 1 medium onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings. Cook, simmering the beer and turning the brats every 10 minutes for 30-45 minutes, until the internal temperature of the bratwurst reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Continue to simmer, allowing the beer to evaporate and reduce until it thickens into a syrupy glaze that coats the bratwurst. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
- While the bratwurst simmers, warm your hot dog buns on a plate.
- Once the beer syrup is thick, use tongs to remove the bratwurst and onions from the pot, ensuring they are well coated in the glaze. Place them in the warmed buns.
- Top with sauerkraut (optional) and serve immediately.
