Made some Sierra Nevada BEER Brats tonight

[Chopperman]

1-2 packages of Johnsonville Beer Brats
2 red onions
1-3 peppers ( green, red, yellow, ect. )
3 sticks butter
6 pack Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
1 Jar Sierra Nevada Porter Mustard
1 Package sliced provolone cheese
1 Package Hoagie Rools

1- In large pot Sautee one sliced red onion, than add one Sierra Nevada. Bring to Boil.

2- Add all Brats and boil for 10 mintues or until beer is gone.

3. Add more beer until liquid covers Brats and bring to a boil, then simmer on med-high for 30 minutes.

4- Remove Brats and place on pre-heated BBQ. BBQ long to get a nice golden brown going. Don't throw your beer and onions out. You will use it later.

5 - While Brats are BBQ'ing, you will want to sautee the rest of your onions and peppers.

6. Remove Brats from BBQ and place them back in the Beer along with one stick of butter. Bring to Boil and let simmer for 10 mintues.

7. Get your Hoagie and lather that bad boy with Sierra Nevada Mustard, apply Brat, onions and Cheese.

Here's our new no-fail technique for brats:

Take some kind of cheap disposable metal pan, we use the rectangular bread pans. Toss brats, onions, peppers, and some spices in, and cover with beer. We use two bottles for 4 brats, and that will fill the small bread pan. Lightly cover the whole thing with aluminum foil. Now, place on the top tray of your gas grill, with both burners going on low, and close up. Let it simmer in the grill for 30 minutes. Transfer brats to the grill, and turn up the heat, while leaving the beer/onions/peppers in the tray simmering. Cook brats until grilled. The beer should be almost completely gone by now. Toss brats in the tray, and bring it in, and serve. No mess, no hot stove, and if you use a good dark porter or something, the reduced beer sauce is SWEET since the dark burnt sugars come out. You can keep the stuff in the tray in the fridge, and nuke it later if you want.

Now...before anyone goes and bitches about cooking beer in an aluminum tray...bite me I've reused these trays this way, and I have seen no degradation of the surface from the beer. I believe that they coat the inside surface with something. If I saw degradation of the cooking surface, I wouldn't use them (I know what acids do to aluminum, and what to look for).

You only end up using 3-4 bottles.
