Ale-Braised Bratwurst and Sauerkraut

This Ale-Braised Bratwurst and Sauerkraut gets a nice kick-start on the grill (or in the skillet), which gets the brats nice and browned before they the go into the pot to be braised with all the other amazing German aromatics. This is German comfort food at its best!
