How to Make Gegrillte Bratwurst Grilled Bratwurst

In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 pound bratwurst, 1 cup beer, 1 medium onion (sliced), 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 2 cloves (optional).
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes. Remove bratwurst and drain well, reserving the beer liquid.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 350-400°F). Grill bratwurst 2 to 5 inches from the heat source for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Sprinkle with water every few minutes to help crisp the skin.
Serve immediately in hard rolls with German-style mustard. Consider adding a drizzle of the reserved beer liquid for extra flavor.
