With so many summer holidays that are perfect for grilling, I find myself grilling up Beer Brats on my Bull Grill a lot! Cooking brats in a flavorful beer bath first on a Bull Side Burner and then finishing them on a hot Bull Grill is the best way to achieve maximum flavor. i always pair them with a decadent beer cheese sauce and vinegar slaw to balance out all of the amazing flavors.
Although they are called beer brats you can always omit the alcohol and add another flavorful liquid like a beef or chicken stock.
I love the crunchy texture raw cabbage gives my brats but I also enjoy grilling whole cabbage and then shredding it myself. Grilling the cabbage gives the slaw more complexity.
