Already looking forward to the fest-food times coming up.
Arguably some of the best grilled "fest time food" is bratwurst
(BRAATS)...grilled crispy on the outside, hot and juicy on the
inside, with a peppery bite and an array of topping choices
like mustard, grilled onions and/or peppers, sauerkraut, you
name it.

I think the attraction is a big part flavor but can
also be that it's one of the easier things to eat on your feet
when you can't find a seat. Not to mention this is also a
favorite tailgate food for you sports fans and great for other
portable parties & picnics too. A great way to do them for the
grill is simmer them in beer ahead of time, then finish off on
the grill like today's recipe for GRILLED BRATS FALVORED WITH
BEER.

Enjoy!

TIP FOR GRILLING BRATS:

Use tongs to prevent piercing the casing with a fork and
causing the juices come out. You will dry the brats out and
lose a lot of the flavor to the coals.

If instead of parboiling you take the fresh brats straight to
the grill, be sure to cook them slowly over a low temperature.
If the coals are too hot it will be almost impossible to fully
cook them on the inside. It's worth the wait so go "slow & low".
