Ok so DH tells me they’re not really “Oktoberfest” beer brats because he used his homemade IPA instead of an Oktoberfest beer, but I think these are a great addition to any Oktoberfest celebration! He also wanted me to be sure to tell you that his IPA was made only using his home grown Cascade hops.
Step 1: Boil the brats in beer for about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Stir fry peppers and onions in butter with garlic powder, black pepper and sea salt until softened.
Step 3: Grill the brats lightly to add a nice crunch to the skin.
The Verdict: Oh my, this was a perfect lunch. The beer adds so much to the flavor of the brat, and the fresh veggies make it seem a little more healthy.

We cook our polish kielbasa (Parksides only!!!) in beer. Always have. Always will. THE best!

I am not that experienced with Bratwurst and this sounds really good!
Shelley
Enjoying your blog, thanks to you having it on your auto signature through Trillium CSA group!!! Just wondering if you get your brats from someplace “special” in town??
Would love to win the food scale, cooking local and real food is pretty new to us and I think it would come in handy!
Keep up the good work,
Shelley~

OK what are the best brats in town? I need to make these.
The Local Cook
The absolute best, in my humble opinion, are from Creswick Farm. You can get them at the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market (their chorizo is also the bomb!).

We stuffed brats made from Chubby last year but I never thought to cook them in beer – brilliant! Two of my favorite things. They look so incredibly fall and yummy!!
xo, Sustainable Eats

Oh, I love beer brats! We picked up some brats from a local farm not too long ago and soaked in beer is my favorite way to fix them. This sounds so good, now I’m craving one. 🙂
Angie
Now I want brats – and maybe a pot of chili (sigh).
