01 -

The combination of juicy beef, tangy sauerkraut, and robust mustard hits every flavor note in one bite
Perfect for feeding a crowd without spending your whole evening at the stove

02 -

Let the brats rest for a couple minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute instead of running out the moment you bite in
Dont skip toasting the buns even just 30 seconds on the grill makes a remarkable difference in texture

03 -

Start the brats over indirect heat to cook through, then finish over direct heat for that perfect crispy exterior
Parboiling the brats in beer or onions before grilling adds an extra layer of flavor if you have the time
