Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Beer Brats

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) to get a beautifully charred finish on your bratwurst.
Grill the bratwursts for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned with a nice char.
Slice onions and bell peppers into thin strips. Transfer bratwursts to a cast-iron skillet and add vegetables.
Pour beer over bratwursts and vegetables, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove skillet from the grill and let bratwursts sit for a minute before placing in sliced buns.
Top bratwursts with caramelized onions and peppers, then drizzle with mustard or your choice of sauerkraut or relish.
Serve immediately while warm, offering a variety of toppings on the side.
