Beer Bathed Brats
One method of cooking bratwurst we have seen has you actually steaming the brats in beer and then finishing on the grill. In our recipe we skip the initial steam bath and simply bathe the brats in beer while they are on the grill. GrillGrates are the only grilling surface that allows you to pull of this technique due to the unique flavor catching valleys between the raised rails.

Turn/roll occasionally allowing brats to gently brown
4
Bathe brats on grill with half of the beer about 10 minutes into the cook

When brats begin to split roll them split side up and pour more beer into the opening. Enjoy the aroma!

doesn’t the beer run out the holes in the grates?
Some of the beer makes it past the grates but the vast majority evaporates.
Sounds good, but I like to bathe my brats in beer. Pour beer into roasting pan and add grilled brats, (sautéed) peppers and onions
