Growing up in Wisconsin, brats are served at every cookout. They are tossed on the grill as much as any other meat. Summertime meant grilling nearly every week with family and friends. During the winter, it wasn’t uncommon to grill outdoors in 20 degree weather. Beer brats are a midwestern staple. August 16th is National Bratwurst day and we’re celebrating by firing up the grill to make our favorite Beer Brats with Stadium Sauce.
Growing up in Milwaukee, you won’t be hard pressed to find a brat. In fact, during halftime at baseballs games, we have the famous racing brat sausages. Brats have been engraved in my life since childhood and it’s something I’ve taken with me half way across the country to Louisiana.
Bratsgiving is a time to share the best part of summer grilling with friends, family and neighbors. It takes no time at all to fire up the grill and create lifetime memories with the ones we love the most.
