Beer Brats

Beer brats are made from pork or beef and are flavored with spices such as salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The sausages are then cooked in beer, which gives them a unique flavor and helps to keep them moist. After cooking, the brats are usually grilled or pan-fried to give them a crispy exterior. They are often served on a bun with sauerkraut and mustard.
