Samantha Nicole Summer cookouts and barbecues have a few requirements: burgers, chicken, and Beer Brats. Beer Brats grill up savory, spicy sausages and simmer them in sweet and golden caramelized onions and a smoky, hoppy beer sauce. The sausages are coated in extra-savory flavors that are the envy of everyday hot dogs. Beer Brats take a little time and patience to put together, but trust us: everyone at the cookout will be rushing to grab one once they’re ready!
