Grilled Beer-cooked Sausages

Ingredients

• 6 bottles (12 oz. each) medium- to heavy-bodied ale (9 cups)
• 12 bratwurst
• 1 large onion, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise

Preparation

1. 1. Bring beer to a boil in a large, wide pot. Add sausages and onions and simmer 15 minutes. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit until ready to grill.
2. 2. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above the cooking grate only 4 to 5 seconds). Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer sausages to the grill. Cook sausages, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, drain onions and set aside. Serve sausages hot or warm, with onions if you like.
