"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
(1) Preheat grill to high heat. If using a gas grill, begin preheating at least 15 minutes prior to grilling. If using charcoal, light the charcoal at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.

(2) Boil the beer brats: Transfer the brats, sliced onions, and beer to a pot or Dutch Oven. Bring to a boil and then simmer until cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

(3) Charbroil the beer brats: Once boiled, use grill tongs to carefully transfer the beer boiled brats directly to the grill grates. Grill 2-3 minutes per side, until charred as desired. Transfer to a plate to rest and cool slightly before serving.

(4) Serve the beer brats, atop a toasted bun, topped with the beer-braised onions, sauerkraut, and/or mustard as desired. Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Significant disagreement exists in the Swearingen household as to the order of preparation. While Melissa believes that brats should be boiled first and then grilled to get a nice char, Ken remains adamant that brats should be grilled first, followed by a light boil in beer. Both agree that there are no substitutions for the brand of beer or brat.
