I've been experimenting with different kinds of beers to make beer brats, and being how it's a great grilling weekend ahead I thought I'd ask your opinions. I realize the poll doesn't include every specific category, of beer but I tried to cover the general ones. If there's a specific kind you've had great results with please post the details here. You can also vote for more than one kind.
The Polls only allow 10 choices, so I ruled out RIS and Saison, so if anyone has a recipe using them please post.
To set the baseline, I cook the brats for 10-15 minutes in hot beer with onions, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then I grill them.
They come out awesome, and we top them with the onions on a good roll with spicy brown mustard.
The past month I've done two different styles of beer.
Laughing Skull - Amber Ale
Magic Hat #9 - "Not quite" Pale Ale
I definitely think I liked the Laughing Skull better than the #9. I think the caramel flavors and maltiness came through better than the #9.
