Got some of the Boar's Head, cooked variety for later. Plan is to poke 'em a bit and simmer in Beck's Dark for about 10 minutes. Then on the grill to get a golden brown finish. Gonna serve with sauted onions and slathered with Country Dijon. Anything I might add to the beer that might enhance the flavor of the brats? Thanks for any tips!!~~

    Great idea for lunch you rascal, thanks.

    Any reason for poking other than to loose the juices during the cook?

    Read it while Googling for recipes. Assummed that it might help infuse them with flavor during the beer simmer. Looking great there!! what's your method??~~

    Not sure if it's good or not. We put slices in hot dogs to get flavor in (I think that's the reason).

    Get and extra brat and don't poke one and see if there is any difference.

    I am not sure how quick my brats will unfreeze before lunch...

    In my opinion...NEVER EVER poke a brat before or during cooking. Save the beer for after grilling, all you need is a nice medium-low fire, put the raw brats straigh on the grill, and cook until firm. Then transfer to "brat-tub" of beer and onions.
