Brats in Beer Recipe

Ingredients
• 12 bratwurst
• 4 bottles Sierra Nevada Nooner IPA
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 Tbsp. grapeseed oil
• 2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp. fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat and prepare grill to medium heat. In a large pot, add the grapeseed oil, pepper flakes, garlic, salt and pepper. Add onion and sautée until the onions become clear and tender. Add beer to the pot and bring to a boil. Add bratwurst and watch closely until the boil resumes. Adjust the heat to a very slow simmer. Boiling will break the skin, causing much of the brat’s flavors to be lost. Simmer for 10 – 15 minutes. Remove the bratwurst. Grill the bratwurst on the preheated grill turning only once.

Optional, but delicious:

Being careful not to scorch or burn, return the beer mixture to a medium-to-high simmer. Continue to simmer until the mixture is reduced to one-half to a third its original amount. Serve as a side dish with the bratwurst.
