Prepare brats on a gas or charcoal grill according to package directions. When brats are cooked, remove from grill and place in foil baking pan. Place pan on grill, add beer, butter and onions. Over medium heat, on a covered grill, allow brats to simmer in beer and onions. Serve each brat with onions on a bun.
For a beer brat, just add a little beer to the mix. This is a classic Wisconson bratwurst flavor profile. I use a fairly course grind, grinding just half the meat a second time with the same plate. I replace part of the salt with Tiparos Thai fish sauce in all of my fresh sausage recipes. It adds "what's that?" umami savoriness.
