Klement's soaked in Leinenkugel's then boiled to just before they pop. Sour Krout, some mustard and a little bit of ketchup. I like baked beans and corn on the cob with them too.
I don't dislike the crispy outside, but I prefer the soft outside you get when you boil them. |

I was weened on Leinies, it's still good (the original), but since they sold out and started on all the tuitty fruitty stuff, I switched to a "beer only" brand. Besides, it tastes just like I remember it and at $13/30 pack, it's a win win. |

That's one classy cat!  I'm not a wine or champagne drinker, so my taste is a little more "rural". I only tried a few brands of beer that I thought really sucked - the crap- brewed by the guys that took over the Old Style brewery in Lacrosse (City Brewery?) and some stuff called "Milwaukees Best", I believe. Oh, you can add Spotted Cow to that list also.

Few things are better than a grilled brat with mustard. Well, that was my thinking before I discovered grilled brats with wasabi! Not the super expensive stuff, the American green horseradish labeled as wasabi. It’s my new thing.

As in straight Wasabi or Wasabi flavored mustard?
On a side note if anyone lives near Cumberland I will compensate and barter for brats and beef sticks from Louie's Finer Meats! |

Beer bath after, and throw some quartered up onions in.
When done, throw onions in some foil and toss over the coals. Toss in a quality bun with caramelized onions and stone ground mustard.

Have preference for hickory smoked brats and hot Italian sausages. Doesn't take long and keeps the juices in, or at least how much of the juices ya want in.

I’m a fan of Hungarian sausages. They aren’t for everybody, but taste great to me.

This is how I grew up knowing the Wisconsin beer brat, but it was green peppers not jalapeños. Not too long ago I switched over to grill then simmer in a beer bath. I like to use foil cake pans directly on top of the ol' Webber kettle grate, full of Hamm's of course lol I need to incorporate Chukar's foil packet method into my recipe. Also, prebans, Hungarian sausages are delicious too! |

Pre-simmered in beer and onions for 10 minutes, grilled over a charcoal fire, returned to pot. I'm more of a traditionalist on bratwurst type, I don't go for those exotic flavored ones.
Hamm's is a fine campfire beer. |

I would amend my answer to say any BODIED beer works well. Hamms is fine. Brown ales add a flavor dimension.
Far too many relatives thought my brats were the best when all I changed from them was to use this dimension rather than swiller. |

Best brats I've ever had are made in Rhinelander... just had some today for lunch at a Brat sale outside the Eagle River store. Trigs SmokeHouse Brats. Trigs is a northwoods grocery store chain, with stores in Tomahawk, Rhinelander, Minocqua, and Eagle River. They also have a meat processing place in Rhinelander, called "The Smokehouse".
Not much of a beer drinker. Graduated to whiskey years ago. But if I absolutely must drink beer, I'd prefer it to be Leinenkugels original, Coors, or Miller Genuine Draft. Strongly prefer bottles over cans. |

Best brats I have ever had was from a small place in Green Bay.
It was called Buddha's Meat Market, and what I loved about them is that they weren't ground into mush. They had some texture to them, and they weren't so bland like most of the big names these days. They weren't spicy hot or anything, but they had a bit of a zing. Sadly they closed many years ago, and finding a replacement is tough. The closest to them that I have found is a place called Miesfeld's in Sheboygan. As for cooking, Dad always did that and I never paid attention. I will have to find out and remember. |

Brats are a serious thing in my house, Trigs Point are pretty damn good, any local meat market is better than the big three. I use butter and saute onion and garlic, once it gets sticky I add some beer(Point Special)little by little, and do that till the onions are pliable, then I add kraut and more butter and stir till brown, then add more beer, a little at a time, to de caramelize the pot, then enough to cover the brats. Add brats and keep on low, could take hours to come up to temp, once it's at a boil for 3 minutes grill till crispy, throw them back into the bath or eat with kraut and Silver Springs Beer and Brat mustard. I always make more for brats and scrambled eggs the next morning. Make sure you have a locally made pretzel bun, makes all the difference.
Cheers! |

Just made some homemade ghost pepper brats the other day. Damn delicious, and since the wife and kids don't to spicy, they're all mine.

I prefer mine simmered in PBR with onion then finished over charcoal. Cooked in a pellet smoker isn't bad either. I too, have moved on to bourbon. I can't drink beer like I used to. I feel like I ate a loaf a bread afterwards. |

It's in the $13 something range now but everything else has been inflated accordingly as well... |
