Ingredients

2 cans lager beer
6 bratwurst
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 yellow onion
1 red bell pepper
whole grain mustard
1 green bell pepper
kosher salt
6 brat buns

Steps

Combine the beer, half the sliced onions, and the brats in a pot and simmer gently so the sausages cook through without splitting.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet and cook the remaining onions and the peppers with a pinch of salt until soft and browned at the edges.
Heat a grill to medium-high while the brats finish their beer bath.
Lift the brats from the pot and grill them, turning often, until the casings are crisp and deeply browned.
Toast the buns cut side down on the grill until just golden.
Tuck a brat into each bun, pile on the peppers and onions, and finish with a stripe of whole grain mustard.
