Grilled Bratwurst and Beer is a classic, hearty meal that is perfect for a summertime barbecue. Bratwurst is a type of German sausage that is typically made with pork, although it can also be made with beef or veal. It has a savory flavor and a firm texture that stands up well to grilling. When paired with beer, it makes for a satisfying meal that can be enjoyed with friends and family. To make this dish, marinate the bratwurst in beer for a few minutes before grilling it to perfection. Serve it on buns with mustard, onions, and peppers for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat grill for medium heat.
2.	Poke small holes in the bratwurst with a fork.
3.	In a shallow pan or dish, pour the beer over the bratwurst, cover, and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
4.	Place the onion and green pepper on a piece of foil and fold up the edges to make a tray.
5.	Remove the bratwurst from the beer and place onto the foil tray.
6.	Grill the bratwurst directly on the grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, or until browned on all sides.
7.	Serve the bratwurst on the buns with mustard and additional chopped onion if desired.
