Oven braised beer brats are a traditional Midwestern dish often associated with tailgating and football season, but they also make for a super easy, prep-ahead weeknight dinner that can feed a crowd. When slow cooked in a flavorful beer and enhanced with onions, garlic, and spices, the sausages turn golden brown, juicy, and delicious. Our slow cooker beer brats by recipe developer Michelle McGlinn are inspired by the German heritage prevalent in the Midwest, so a German-style beer will ultimately be the best bet for braising these brats. Ales and lagers fit the bill, and McGlinn notes that another German-style brew such as a hefeweizen will result in “something really interesting.” Hefeweizens are full-bodied wheat beers with a sweet, fruity flavor profile with hints of banana and clove. If you want to try a seasonal approach in the fall, look for an Oktoberfest lager to keep up with the German theme.
