Bratwurst

Ready to level up your sausage game? Make your own—and add this sugar cure flavored with a märzen, maibock, dunkel, or other malt-forward lager, plus your own malt-fermented sauerkraut.

Why yes, we do fire up the grill in mid-winter. Here, brown ale adds layers of Maillard comfort to braised onions and a from-scratch (but simple to make) bratwurst burger.
